I'm feeling decidedly chuffed that I managed to beat MS Excel into a grumbling submission and managed to get it to plot a complete set of first-order polar responses... so here, for your enjoyment and edification, is the plot -- (c)Hugh Robjohns 2021 !

In my world, things get less strange when I read the manual...

Re: Microphone Polar Plots
Very nice - but should there be some numbers on the attenuation scale?

Re: Microphone Polar Plots
Good work that man!
Take a bow! :clap: :thumbup:
Could you put this somewhere easy to find so that it's easy to retrieve when the next person comes along with a question about the polar sensitivities of different types of mic?

Re: Microphone Polar Plots
:D Picky, picky...
Erm... yes... possibly.... :crazy:
I haven't quite figured out yet how to get the underlying to scale to conform to anything useful. Excel really isn't the right tool for this job... and I'm pleased I managed to get it to go this far.
At the moment, those circles are at roughly 1.2dB increments... I'll have another fiddle later when I have some time.
And yes, Mike, I'll copy this to the useful info archive. Good idea.
