The off-axis characteristics of the DPA 4012 Cardioid Microphone are totally linear, a unique quality which has required intensive research to obtain.
So any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, though attenuated according to the true first order cardioid pick-up pattern.
