Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal profile

Dual-output multipattern: in Dual Output Mode it sends both diaphragms down separate channels, so the polar pattern is chosen after the take rather than before it.

Gain staging

31.4 mV/Pa, -30.1 dBV/Pa - the loudest microphone in this batch, 28.9 dB above an SM7B, with 10 dB-A of self-noise. The catch is Dual Output Mode: it needs two preamp channels and two phantom supplies, and both channels must be gain-matched, because any mismatch between them becomes a permanent error in the pattern you derive later. In that mode budget two identical inputs, not one good one.

* Estimated with the depreciation fallback (~78% retained value).
