Frequently Asked Questions

The 198 is a cardioid, offering a wider pickup pattern, while the 99 HL’s hypercardioid is more directional and rejects more ambient sound.
It’s a basic foam windscreen, adequate for minimizing plosives, but a higher-quality pop filter might be beneficial for critical vocal recordings.
A preamp with a good amount of headroom and a low noise floor is recommended, something that can comfortably handle 600 Ohms without introducing excessive noise.
