Frequently Asked Questions

The nickel plating is decent, but it's not industrial-grade, so avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
It's adequate for general measurements, but lacks the extended highs and ultra-low detail of premium studio measurement microphones.
While technically possible, you'll likely need a preamp with a high input impedance to avoid signal loss and frequency response alterations.
