From a Japanese sale on Reverb.com: "First introduced in 1957, the Toshiba Type-B is a take on the RCA 44BX. Bi-directional with a figure-8 pattern the microphone has a high-pass position selector on the bottom of the mic."
The frequency range plot shows the response in each of the six switch positions. Position 0 has the maximum bass response and position 5 has the most severe bass-cut.
