    How the plug-in works
    With the Polarflex plug-in it is possible to intelligently mix two capsules such that a totally new pattern with its unique sound is created.
    Now, what happens in the plug-in?
    The Polarflex plug-in mixes two capsules (Omni and Fig-8) in three different frequency bands such that the level and the frequency response of the diffuse sound and with that the directivity of the micro-phone is altered.
    The plug-in automatically maintains the overall level at all frequencies which means that every possible setting leads to a potentially useful result. This is computed similarly to a panning knob: The larger the portion of the omni is in the mix, the smaller is the portion of the Fig-8/cardioid.

    Examples
    When the line is on the top position, only the omni is mixed in the output
    When the line is in the middle, the result will be a cardioid, being the exact sum of an Omni and a Fig-8 microphone.
    When you choose a wide cardioid at low frequencies, a cardioid at middle frequencies and a hypercardioid at high frequencies, the result will be similar to a large membrane capsule
    Try to switch between different settings in Stereo Mode: By altering the mixing ratio, the correla-tion of the recorded diffuse sound field is varied at the same time. This offers a powerful mean to vary the room sound of your Stereo microphone.
