Frequently Asked Questions

It's reasonably firm, but prolonged use or handling can cause it to lose some rigidity – it’s not as stiff as a more robust, purpose-built gooseneck.
Due to the 600 Ohm impedance, a preamp with good headroom and a low noise floor is essential to avoid a weak or noisy signal; a budget-friendly active DI could also help.
The included windscreen does a decent job of taming plosives, but a more substantial pop filter might be necessary for very close-miking or particularly breathy speakers.
