Definition of "multitrack":
The multitrack tag is used to describe microphones who have multiple audio outputs that can be tracked separately, enabling the mix engineer to alter the effective pickup pattern during mixdown.
Many of these mics employ dual back-to-back cardioid capsules, with separate output circuits for each.
Two such signals can be combined to form an infinite variety of mono signals:
For example, opposing cardioids mixed at equal gain and equal polarity create an omnidirectional signal. Flipping the parity on one or the other creates a figure-of-8 signal. Attenuating the polarity-reversed signal by 10dB creates a hypercardioid signal.
The above illustration depicts further examples, but note that any degree of directionality, favoring either the ‘front’ or ‘back’ capsule, can be attained by manipulation of relative gain and phase controls.
