Spec Sheet

Key Features

All-in-one design — sensor and preamp integrated in a single 26mm × 11mm all-steel housing with permanently attached XLR cable

All-steel ferrous housing — durable, well-shielded, magnet-mountable for instant repositioning

Extended frequency response — 40 Hz to 40 kHz captures full harmonic detail well past the limits of human hearing

Balanced XLR output — pro-grade signal, low noise, drives long cable runs without degradation

Phantom powered (48V) — no batteries, no DI box, no external preamp needed

Versatile mounting — ships with mounting putty; ferrous housing also accepts tape or any common magnet for fast repositioning

Lower profile than competing AKG C411 PP and roughly 39% less expensive at MAP
