Notes: FLAG: Coles sells/markets the 4050 as a pairable stereo mic via a proprietary magnetically-attaching shock mount enabling 360-degree rotation for Blumlein-style pairs; a stereo kit (2 units + dual mount) counts as 2 mics. Specs here are per single unit: weight 362 g, dimensions 102.5 mm long x 50 mm diameter, gold-coloured enamel finish, aluminium body with stainless-steel screens. Ships with rigid foam-lined case, soft cloth bag, and stand-adaptor shock mount. No USD or GBP price published on manufacturer site; price_usd left blank per golden rules.
