Notes: LDC (large-diaphragm condenser), 26mm. SKU: ETL-DELPHINA. Weight 1 lb (4 lbs cased); dimensions 8.75in x 4in x 1.75in, head 3in diameter (extra specs). Page mentions 'released as standard model July 28, 2015, but custom orders predate this' - kept out of year_intro because this reads as page/blog metadata rather than a clearly authoritative spec line; flagged here instead per blanks-over-guesses. Also sold as a matched 'Delphina Stereo Pair' bundle for $1,250 on the shop page - not broken out as a separate entry since it is two Delphinas, not a distinct model (judgment call, flagged). 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.
