All of them! Well, directly on-axis in front is in the null of the side mic=
, so
that direction is just the M mic. for direct sound. All other angles are bl=
ends
of the two except for straight back which, if M is a cardioid, will be in t=
he
null of both mics and dead, for direct sound.


Since in the real world sound is diffuse, the tonality of all sounds is a b=
lend
of the two mics.
