Details
I/O: 1x 6-pin output, breaks out via supplied cable to 2x 3-pin XLR-M (L/R)
Notable use: Marketing copy states used by "top-tier recording engineers and musicians" from Glyndebourne to Hollywood studios; no specific named artist/session credited on page - flagged as vague marketing claim.
Notes: Single physical microphone body producing a stereo (L/R) output via twin ribbon elements - counted as channel_count=1 device with stereo channel_format. Requires 48V(±4V) phantom power despite being a ribbon mic (active/powered ribbon circuit). Price £2,249.00 GBP only, no USD published. Country of manufacture not stated on page (Sontronics is UK-based; left blank per no-guess rule).
