Notes: FLAG: LDC, dual-diaphragm, FET/solid-state condenser (NOT tube -- 'Vintage' = voicing/color, not tube circuit). Sweet, warm, vintage-style vocal voicing per manufacturer copy; recommended for close male vocals. FLAG: store price scrape returned EUR 1590, duplicated with Globe Standard's figure in the same pass -- likely stale/unreliable storefront data (see Globe Standard notes). Left price_usd blank.
