Notes: FLAG: This is a single, purpose-built stereo mic (one named model, two capsules/two outputs), not a matched pair of a mono model - handled distinctly from the Edwina/Delphina 'Stereo Pair' bundles, which were excluded as non-distinct SKUs. Body built from copper plumbing pipe/fixtures, electrical flanges, brass, and stainless steel - most overtly 'steampunk industrial-salvage' build in the lineup, sharing sonic heritage with Edwina. Country of manufacture explicitly stated on page: United States (Portland, Oregon). A '2015' date surfaced during extraction but is treated as unconfirmed page metadata, not a stated year-introduced spec - left blank. Frequency response and max SPL not published on page - left blank.
