Notes: MULTI-PATTERN mic (flag per instructions). Uses a transformer-balanced output (Aston's own toroidal transformer design) -- this differs from Origin's transformerless topology; some retailer copy inconsistently describes it as transformerless, but multiple independent spec sources confirm transformer-balanced, so flagging as the more reliable read. price_usd sourced from third-party aggregator, not scraped live from astonmics.com. Impedance not published in sources checked. Also sold as 'Spirit Black Bundle' (limited edition, bundled with SwiftShield) -- bundle/accessory SKU excluded here per scope (accessories out of scope).
