Extended-cardioid pattern
Provides strong rejection of sound outside the main pickup area.

Independent shopping perspective
NCEC is the Novacore handheld capsule made for Audix’s NCHH transmitter. Its Very Low Mass design and fast transient response are aimed at balanced, articulate vocal capture, while the extended-cardioid pattern rejects sound arriving away from the front of the mic. Internal vibration damping addresses handling noise during performance. The all-metal body and protective grille give the capsule a stage-oriented physical build without changing the wireless system around it.
