What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes the pickup as cardioid in its feature text but gives “Unidirectional” as the polar-pattern specification, treat that pattern detail as inconsistent in the listing rather than a confirmed exact subtype. XLR recording also requires compatible interface or mixer equipment.
