Notes: FLAG: Milab Microphones AB filed for bankruptcy on 11 Aug 2025 (see VIP-60 entry for detail). FLAG: this product's own page returned HTTP 404 during live verification though it is indexed and linked from milabmic.com's own microphones list ('Currently Not in Production' tier). FLAG rectangular capsule: uses 3x matched 'Model 2900' rectangular capsules, same family as DC-196/DC-96C. FLAG UNCERTAIN: a third-party aggregator description mentioned a 'tube power supply included' for the external PSU/matrix box; this could not be corroborated on any primary Milab source and may be a mis-parse — topology is recorded here as solid-state (matching its shared DC-196 capsule/amp lineage) rather than asserting a tube design. No USD or SEK price could be found for this model.
