Frequently Asked Questions

CORE offers improved transient response and lower self-noise, resulting in a more natural and detailed sound with increased headroom.
It's an advantage; it allows you to swap capsules for different polar patterns or sonic characteristics, though you'll need to purchase those capsules separately.
You'll want a clean, low-noise preamp to fully appreciate its capabilities; something with a high headroom and minimal coloration is ideal.
