Details
Controls: 5-position polar pattern control via polarization voltage (omni/wide cardioid/cardioid/supercardioid/fig-8); recessed -10dB pad switch; recessed bass roll-off switch (-10dB at 90Hz, for proximity effect compensation)
I/O: 1x XLR3M balanced output (gold-plated contacts)
Notes: FLAG: FET/transistor, NOT tube, despite the 'UM'-style model prefix shared with tube models UM 900/M 990 - the 'T' denotes transformerless transistor design. Dynamic range of amplifier 121 dB, self-noise 14 dBA/26 dB CCIR468-4, current draw 3mA, weight 540g, dims 195x70mm, satin nickel/dark bronze. price_usd left blank - only stale/sold Reverb listings found ($1,050-$1,895, used/varied condition), not a reliable current figure; manufacturer page lists no price.
