No capsule count is printed.","polar_patterns":"Page data lists cardioid. The user guide says unidirectional (cardioid).","address_type":"Page data form factor is end-address small diaphragm.","frequency_response_hz":"Published as 50 Hz-16 kHz. No tolerance is given.","connection_types":"USB-C is the only output.

Settings are made in MOTIV Mix and the microphone keeps the last settings. Digital Popper Stopper and Reverb have no matching option and are not stored. EQ is the tone and EQ control per channel.","rgb_lighting":"The colour-adjustable LED touch panel shows a live meter and the mute state. A meter is not decorative lighting.","os_compatibility":"MOTIV Mix on Windows 10 and later and macOS 12 and later. MOTIV Audio and Video apps on select USB-C devices with iOS 16 and later or Android 12 and later. Not compatible with iOS devices with Lightning ports. iPadOS follows from MFi certification for iPad in the press release.","dimensions_mm":"Page data: width 207, height 164, depth 90. The user guide prints 164 mm H x 207 mm L x 90 mm l, so 207 is the length front to back and 90 the width.","weight_g":"Page and user guide net weight.
