Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal profile

Ultra-low self-noise (4dBA). Extremely clean 1-inch HF6 capsule with 32-bit float USB recording capability preventing digital clipping.

Gain staging

High sensitivity (-32dBV) means virtually any entry-level audio interface can drive it easily without high gain settings. Requires +48V Phantom power in XLR mode.
