Frequently Asked Questions

It's moderately stiff, providing good positioning stability but not offering extreme flexibility. It’s designed to stay put during use.
A preamp with a decent gain range and impedance matching capabilities will work well; something that can handle a higher impedance without significant signal loss is preferable.
While primarily a paging mic, it can be used for basic vocal recording in a pinch, but the limited frequency response will result in a somewhat muted sound.
