The microphone uses a military-grade 6ZH1P tube and offers natural treble, rich midrange and a sense of presence. Its modified 34 mm S17E capsule has specifications similar to the 017 Tube but a more open, expressive treble response. The design draws inspiration from the rare Soviet LOMO 19A19 microphone, valued for its airy sound and distinctive treble. A power supply, specially matched shock mount and handmade oak case are included.
