Frequently Asked Questions

The USB-C connection offers convenient digital audio, but using an XLR interface generally provides a slightly cleaner, more robust signal path for critical recordings.
The integrated pop shield is decent for basic use, but a larger, more adjustable aftermarket shield will offer better control over plosives, especially for close-mic'd vocals.
4dBA is exceptionally quiet, placing it among the lowest noise floor mics available, rivaling models costing significantly more.
