This is an excellent, compact microphone designed to plug directly into the XLR jack of a recorder, with no cables. The microphone and XLR phantom power converter are built right into one product.
With the advent of 32 bit recorders growing in popularity, I wanted a set of microphones that I could connect to my Zoom H6essential recorder. Since the XLR jacks come out of either side of this recorder, I knew it would provide an excellent stereo image. The microphones in this configuration are both pointed away from one another and are slightly wider than the width of the ears, providing a very natural, ear width stereo field. Alternatively, one could hang these microphones from an XLR cable, record with a single microphone on a compact recorder like the Zoom H1 XLR, or various other applications. I plan to record on the go with these microphones, and I’m quite glad I purchased them.
As a side note, these microphones are about 19MM in diameter on the body, so any wind screen that fits such microphones and will go beyond the element in depth, should work with these microphones.
