It is a condenser microphone, but with the arm stand, it still can be that type of microphone for people who are concerned with background noise. The maximum extension of the arm stand is around 76 cm, which can go from the side of your desk to in front of your mouth perfectly. You do not have to lean on the side to talk. Such flexibility to swing the mic around is the guarantee to have a successful podcast. Because then the mic or the stand itself can not get in the way to block eye contact, which is crucial in a live podcast. The boom arm stand also keeps the mic off a table. Combing with a shock mount, you will hear much less vibration or file flipping noise from the workspace. The unique design makes it the only shock mount that fits a microphone with on-body dials. • T058B specifications: • Power Supply: 5V • Polar Pattern: Uni-directional • Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz • Sensitivity: -34dB±30% (at 1kHz) • Load Impedance: 1000 • Max.SPL: 130dB(at 1kHz≤1% T.H.D) • S/N Ratio: 78dB • Electrical Current: 70mA Microphone Dimension Approx (by itself): 155 x 45 x 45mm Includes: 1x Microphone 1x Table clip 1x Shock mount 1x Desktop mic arm 1x Pop filter 1x Tripod stand 1x Wind foam 1x Mic mount 1x 3/8" to 5/8" adapter 1x Threaded metal ring 1x 2.5m USB cable
