Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

End-address cardioid dynamic voiced for speech, 50 Hz to 15 kHz, with an internal pop filter and a swing mount built into the body.

Gain Staging Advice

-57 dBV/Pa, only 2 dB above an SM7B: this is one of the genuinely hungry dynamics. Budget about 58-60 dB for speech at a hand's distance. The 320-ohm output impedance is more than double a Shure dynamic, so a low-impedance input loads it noticeably.
