## Before you buy

- The listing calls the polar pattern unidirectional while the title calls it cardioid, which is more specific. It also labels 192 KHz as frequency response despite separately listing a 20-20000 Hz frequency range. Treat these details as inconsistent rather than settled, and confirm the specification you need before buying. The listing describes a built-in metal shock mount but does not establish whether the stand or mounting assembly is adjustable.

## Customer feedback
