"If I only had one microphone of a given pattern that I could use, it would be the Collette MK21, which is Schoeps’ sub-cardioid or wide cardioid. You can almost use it as an omnidirectional mic, but you can also use it as a spot mic — it will work and it just sounds great for anything — depending upon the location."
Resolution Magazine June/July 2021
Description 
Practice When used as a spot microphone, the distance from the sound source should be slightly smaller than when using a cardioid due to lower directivity index.
The low directivity of this capsule type prevents it from generating large enough level differences for X/Y use, though MS and near-coincident spacings are often successful.
