Tonal Profile
Larger fixed-charge capsule than the AT2020, cardioid, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a switchable 10 dB pad and an 80 Hz high-pass.
Gain Staging Advice
-33 dBV/Pa, 4 dB hotter than the AT2020 and 26 dB above an SM7B. The useful detail is the phantom spec: 11 V to 52 V, so it still works off bus-powered interfaces whose phantom sags below 48 V - a failure mode that silently starves 48 V-only condensers.
