What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: frequency response is given as both 50 hertz and 60Hz-17KHz, and the details call the form factor Boundary while the title/features describe a dynamic cardioid studio microphone. Treat these specifications as unconfirmed and check the exact selected listing before relying on them. The listed 120 db audio sensitivity and 120dB maximum SPL are separate claims, not interchangeable measurements.
