Details
Controls: None noted on mic itself
I/O: Balanced 3-pin XLR analog output
Notable use: Software portion endorsed by 4x Grammy winner Anthony Kilhoffer as 'Very Accurate'
Notes: FLAG: this SKU is a bundle -- the physical hardware is the same ECM-87 MK II condenser mic as the standalone Classic/Stealth listings, packaged with the 'ECM87 MIC CLONE' vintage-mic-modeling plug-in (VST/AU/AAX; software component is out of scope per this brief's exclusion of software, noted here only because it's bundled with in-scope hardware). Listed mic list price on this page is $699 (vs the $299 selling price on standalone Classic/Stealth pages) -- pricing inconsistency across Gauge's own site, flagged. Country of manufacture 'USA' per product page ('hand-soldered, assembled and tested in California').
