Omnidirectional pre-polarized electret-condenser capsule
The microphone captures measurement sound from all directions.

Independent shopping perspective
The SoundID Reference Measurement Microphone is an XLR measurement mic built for SoundID Reference calibration work. Its supplied SoundID Reference calibration profile is custom-tailored, and the microphone was measured against an ANSI-certified microphone for precision in that workflow. An omnidirectional, pre-polarized electret-condenser capsule captures measurement sound from all directions. A second calibration profile is supplied for use with third-party systems, giving the mic a separate path beyond SoundID Reference.
