Notes: FLAG: LDC, dual-diaphragm, FET/solid-state condenser (NOT tube). Tuned for a classic, wide-spectrum instrument/orchestral voicing per manufacturer copy; recommended for articulated female vocals and full-range lead sources. FLAG: store price scrape returned EUR 1590 for this model, but the same figure also appeared for Globe Vintage in the same scrape pass -- likely a stale/duplicated storefront listing (site is an apparently abandoned PrestaShop install, broken TLS cert). Left price_usd blank; treat the EUR 1590 figure as unverified.
