Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

Cardioid dynamic, 50 Hz to 15 kHz, with an XLR output and a USB-C output that run simultaneously. The converter is 16-bit at 44.1/48 kHz - the lowest resolution of anything in this batch.

Gain Staging Advice

-54 dBV/Pa describes the analogue XLR side only. Over USB the mic supplies its own converter and its own gain, so the number has no bearing on which interface you own - it matters the moment you unplug the USB cable and use the XLR output instead. Output impedance is not published.
