Details
Controls: Built-in high-pass filter toggle switch (bottom of mic body)
I/O: 1x male XLR output
Notes: FLAG: dynamic mic (no phantom power required), XLR only, not USB. Built-in high-pass filter (100Hz, 12dB/octave) selectable via bottom-mounted switch. Specs pulled verbatim from official Limelight User Manual PDF; the manual's sensitivity line renders as "-54dB 13dB (0dB =1V/Pa at 1kHz)" -- FLAG: the tolerance figure is almost certainly "±3dB" (a PDF text-extraction/glyph issue dropped the ± and produced a stray "1"), matching the format used on Skylight's spec page; recorded here as ±3dB. Some third-party marketing copy (web search results) states 50Hz-20kHz frequency response, but the official manual specs page states 50Hz-15kHz -- manual was treated as authoritative and used here (FLAG discrepancy vs some retail copy). price_usd is 512 Audio's own published MSRP ($149.99), matching Amazon/B&H/Best Buy/Sweetwater listings. year_intro (2021) FLAG-inferred the same way as Skylight (CMS creation dates + press).
