While multichannel mediation continues to grow in popularity, traditional mono and stereophonic recording techniques remain those underpinning audio production workflows. By incorporating dual-output microphone technology into established practices, capacity exists for nuancing recordist agency in ways not documented in existing literature. The Dynamic Polar Pattern is introduced as a simple process to simulate polar patterns changing shape over time, with affordances associated to proximity effect, distance factor, frequency masking and stereo width. Practice-led and practice-based methodology catalogues benefits of dual-output agency including the ability to capture multiple stereo techniques simultaneously, pedagogical attribute demonstration, rear-output panning, performance panning, sample packaging and DIY microphone modelling. An overarching position for “Why employ dual-output microphones?” is interrogated alongside technical data.
