Details
I/O: Custom 4-channel XLR breakout cable included; requires included plugin license for B-format decoding
Notable use: Steve Albini mentioned re: historical use of ambisonic mics (not specific to this model)
Notes: FLAG: channel_count set to 4 to reflect the 4-capsule ambisonic array and custom 4-channel XLR output, unlike single-capsule mics elsewhere in this catalog listed as channel_count=1 — judgment call. FLAG: page shows two prices ($2999 and $3199); lower figure used, variant distinction not stated (likely bundle/accessory tier) — verify live. Self-noise 16 dB(A). Dimensions 207mm x 42mm dia, 579g. Includes wooden box, hardmount, shockmount, breakout cable, 3m extension cable, and plugin license. Country of manufacture not explicitly stated on page.
