Notes: FLAG: FET/solid-state condenser (NOT tube) despite the Flamingo family name -- distinct from Flamingo ME/Standard/Vintage, which are tube mics. Vintage-leaning tone with transparent highs per manufacturer copy. FLAG -- IMPORTANT: reported 2015 JZ Microphones takeover of the Flamingo series (see Flamingo ME notes) applies to the Flamingo Junior name as well; current Violet Design status uncertain, though this is the one Flamingo-family model still listed on violet-design.com's main (non-store) product page as of this research.
