Details
I/O: Mic body connects via 8-pin screw-on cable (20ft) to MX-56 external power supply; PSU outputs balanced XLR line signal
Notable use: Acoustic-guitar-focused artist demos referenced in site testimonials/YouTube playlist; specific artist names not listed on product page
Notes: Hybrid design: FET input stage feeding a sub-miniature triode tube amplifier — flagged as a judgment call whether to classify as 'tube condenser' vs 'condenser (FET)'; labeled tube condenser here since final gain stage is tube-based and it requires an external PSU (not phantom). NOS replacement tube note found separately: early units (serial <00600) used 6J1-B-Q tube. Requires MX-56 PSU. Price is USD MSRP.
