Details
Controls: Mic gain knob, mute button, cardioid/omni pattern selector, headphone volume
I/O: 1x USB-C input/output, 1x 3.5mm stereo headphone jack (zero-latency monitoring, 75mW @ 16 ohms)
Notes: FLAG: USB condenser microphone (digital, bus-powered via USB-C; no XLR, no external phantom power). Dual-capsule design with switchable cardioid/omni polar pattern (electret condenser capsules, per official manual). Dynamic range spec of 95dB also published in manual but not part of this schema. Sensitivity is published in dBFS (-25dBFS at min gain) rather than the mV/Pa or dB(1V/Pa) convention used for XLR condensers -- recorded as printed since it is the only sensitivity figure 512 Audio publishes for this digital mic. price_usd is 512 Audio's own published MSRP ($119.00); Musician's Friend/other retailers list $119.99, essentially the same price -- manufacturer figure used as basis. year_intro (2022) FLAG-inferred the same way as Tempest (CMS dates + CES 2022 press coverage).
