Notes: Scope judgment call: microphones are not in the task brief's explicit example category list (preamps/DI/headphone/phantom/mixers/EQ/interfaces/splitters), but device_class enum supports 'Microphone' and these are current pro-audio studio hardware from ART, not consumer/hi-fi or accessories -- included as an in-scope judgment call, flag for reviewer. phantom_power=true reflects that this mic REQUIRES external 48V phantom power to operate (FET condenser capsule electronics), it does not supply power. powered field left blank for same reasoning as C2: relies on phantom_power field rather than a separate 'powered' status, flag for reviewer. S/N ratio 78dB, noise floor 16dB A (from page, not in requested fields). Exact pad/HPF switch values not specified in fetched page content (only noted as present); price/connection details partially inferred as XLR based on standard ART C-series design, flag for reviewer to verify exact connector. price_usd $249.99 from Sweetwater.com (listed as special-order item).
