Figure 8: Traditional Omni → Cardioid → Figure 8 microphone patterns

Basic: Virtual mic patterns capable of second order cardioid (pattern = 2)

Max rE: Maximizes energy concentration vector (rE) by focusing energy signals in the direction of interest

In-Phase: Full side-lobe suppression with no out-of-phase components

 

Max rE and In-Phase terminology is from ambisonic literature on physical decoding. We decided to keep it consistent with what’s been out there for decades. More information about the plugin can be found in this journal article.
