Notes: Site used: pmiaudio.com (current official brand/distributor page). Confirmed CURRENT (one of 5 active SKUs on PMI's Studio Projects store, sale price shown, was $249.99 list). Full electrical specs (sensitivity, max SPL, impedance) pulled from third-party spec aggregation (matches manual-style figures for the B/C series family), not the current PMI page itself, which lists no detailed spec sheet — flagged as secondary-source. Phantom power confirmed 48V on the official page.
