Its high-quality cardioid condenser capsule handles up to 145 dB SPL and suits woodwind, string and brass instruments. A built-in switch selects two-wire or three-wire operation. Two-wire mode supports wireless transmitters through adapter cables for Shure, Sennheiser, AKG and Cloudvocal's SonoFlex SP-10 system. Three-wire mode provides standard XLR connection with 48 V phantom power. In three-wire mode, output impedance falls to 29 ohms to reduce signal degradation over long cables.
