Notable use: Close-micing vocals and acoustic instruments in demanding live settings and in the studio; marketed by the brand as intended to be 'the best available live vocal mic.' Artists cited: Andra Day, The Wildwoods, Rachel Sermanni, Dustbowl Revival, Yoko Oginome, Chatham County Line, Wildeyes, The Builders and the Butchers.
Notes: LDC (large-diaphragm condenser), 26mm. End-address design (distinct from most of the line's side/pivoting-address designs), with built-in silk/mesh pop filter and hand-wired transformerless FET electronics - designed specifically for close live vocal use with strong feedback rejection. A 'July 27, 2015' date surfaced during extraction but reads as page/blog publish metadata rather than a clearly stated year-introduced spec - left blank per blanks-over-guesses. Country of manufacture not restated on this page; USA/Portland OR inferred from company FAQ and sibling pages - flagged. Frequency response and max SPL not published on page - left blank.
