This unique device offers the standard Left and Right outputs, along with four channel quadraphonic outputs (Left and Right, Positive and Negative Phase), and the Z40 setting which enables traditional M/S encoding and decoding in a two channel format.
Each M216 microphone comes complete with a 10-meter Gotham Audio Cable, wooden mic box, power supply with Matrix and Z40 encoder/decoder, and a 5-Year Limited Warranty. A matching flight case is also available at an additional charge.
