## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Good condensor for melodeons - It's what I expected for the price and range. It might be a little better than the idea you'd get from the way other techies speak of it. Great for melodeons, which is why I bought it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What else do I need to get to use this?**
A: A shock mount should be included with this mic, if not you will need one. A 3 pin mic cable and most important a phantom power supply. If the unit your plugging into does not supply phantom power then you will need an external phantom psu to plug into to power the mic.
