Welcome to Mid-Side recording, a whole new level of precision in your ability to shape sound. The MS Capsule contains dual mic elements a forward-facing, unidirectional mic (the Mid ) and a side-facing, bi-directional mic (the Side ). Together with the onboard MS decoder provided by the H5 and H6, they capture a fully mono-compatible stereo image that can actually be adjusted after recording ideal for film, video, and television projects.
