If you like how the mic responds when set to 'cardoid' (eg it rejects room ambience) but find that the proximity effect gives too much bottom end when close miking, then the low cut option will facilitate recording a tone that may not require much further shaping, gives the best dynamic range and will help avoid a compressor over-responding (pumping).
