Frequently Asked Questions

It's surprisingly good considering the price, but lacks the precision and width of higher-end stereo condensers; expect a more 'general' stereo field.
No, the high impedance will result in a very weak signal; you’ll need a dedicated microphone interface or preamp to get usable results.
The plastic construction is a significant limitation; it's best suited for studio or home use rather than the rigors of frequent live performances.
