Frequently Asked Questions

TQG is more robust and resistant to accidental disconnection, and generally offers slightly improved signal-to-noise performance compared to the mini-XLR design.
While it *can* be used for music, the limited low-frequency response makes it best suited for spoken word; it won’t reproduce bass instruments or lower vocal registers well.
Expect to use a moderate amount of preamp gain; the sensitivity is fairly low, but the dynamic range is excellent, so you’ll have plenty of headroom.
