Frequently Asked Questions

The gooseneck is surprisingly robust; it offers flexibility without excessive wobble and holds its shape well under normal use.
No, the TQG connector is proprietary; you'll need a TQG-to-XLR adapter or a compatible bodypack system.
While it won't match the KM 184's top-end detail and low-noise floor, the WB98 H/C provides a very respectable, usable sound for the price – a great balance of performance and affordability.
