Cardioid: The TechZoneAudioProducts Stellar X2 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with XLR connectivity and a unidirectional pickup pattern. It requires 48V phantom power from a compatible audio interface, so it suits recording setups that already have this equipment rather than direct computer connection.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives both a frequency response of 20 KHz and a frequency range of 20Hz - 20kHz, and describes the pickup pattern as unidirectional while the title calls it cardioid. Its noise claims also differ: 13 db in the specifications versus less than 13dBA in feature text. These details are inconsistent, so confirm the exact pattern and noise specification if they are important to your setup. The computer connection instructions require a 48V interface and XLR-to-XLR cable.
