Notes: FLAG: tube condenser (6267 tube), VD47 dual-diaphragm capsule, sweet/warm vintage vocal voicing with HF roll-off per manufacturer copy. FLAG -- IMPORTANT: same 2015 JZ Microphones takeover of the Flamingo series applies here (see Flamingo ME notes); current Violet Design status uncertain. FLAG: sourced from violet-design.com's storefront, which shows evidence of cross-contaminated/duplicated spec tables between Flamingo variants elsewhere on the site (see Flamingo Standard notes) -- these particular figures were internally consistent and distinct from neighboring products, but should still be treated with caution. No independent USD MSRP source located; storefront lists EUR 4,910 -- price_usd left blank per no-guess rule.
