What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature copy identify a dynamic cardioid microphone, while the specifications also say Unidirectional and Table Array. The frequency entries are separately given as 20 KHz and 70 hz 15 khz, and the stated uses and hardware platform include several different contexts. Confirm the specification and connection needs for your setup before buying.
