Frequently Asked Questions

The capsules are convenient and compact, but dedicated mics generally offer higher fidelity and more nuanced sonic characteristics – think of it as a trade-off between portability and ultimate quality.
Absolutely, but you’ll likely want to invest in a better capsule for cleaner, more professional vocal recordings; the built-in mic is more suited to ambience or less critical sounds.
16GB is a good start, but at 24-bit/96kHz, recording times are limited; consider a larger SD card if you’re planning extended field recording sessions.
