top five favorite nebula?

Ooh this is a good question.

5. The North America Nebula

I just like this one because it looks funny. I mean, look at this and tell me it doesn't look like North America.

4. The Ring Nebula

This is a basic answer, but I like the Ring Nebula because it's very easy to find. It's easy to spot almost perfectly between two stars in Lyra, which is easy to find by looking for the Summer Triangle. It's a good beginner-friendly nebula for observing.

3. Barnard's Loop

I like this one because it's out of the ordinary. It's much bigger than typical nebulae, it covers the entire constellation of Orion! Capturing it requires astrophotographers to take many smaller images of Orion and stitch them together, which takes a huge amount of time and effort.

2. The Dumbbell Nebula

Okay, this one comes with a story.

Back in college, the astronomy club and I were working on getting our club's CCD camera to work. It was kind of a piece of shit if I'm being honest. I think we got it from a guy online who just… made CCD cameras as a hobby? I don't know, it's not important. (Doing an astronomy lab course has taught me that a surprising amount of the technology used in the field is just made in Some Guy's garage. Again, not the point of the story.)

Anyway, this CCD camera was extremely hard to use. It was built weirdly (it was cooled by external fans that didn't have any sort of protection around them? While setting it up once it sliced my finger, presumably giving it a taste for blood), and it ran on some non-standard janky software that no one knew how to use.

Long story short, just getting this damn camera to work was a whole ordeal. A small group from the astronomy club had gathered in the club's observatory late one night, and we were all huddled around this tiny laptop screen in the dark next to the telescope where the CCD camera was attached, with dozens of cables hanging off of it that surely didn't pose tripping hazards.

We were trying to take a picture of the Dumbbell Nebula, but weren't able to find it. We knew we were in the right ballpark, but it just wasn't showing up in the field of view.

Thus began the mind-numbing process of adjusting the telescope a tiny bit, then turning on the CCD and then waiting for the minute-long exposure to finish so we could see if anything showed up in the shot. (There are much better ways to set this up, but we were a bunch of extremely tired college students and were not making the best decisions.)

We stood there in mostly silence for what felt like hours, repeating this process and looking at a field of black until eventually, something fuzzy showed up in the field of view.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone cheer that joyously in my life. We were elated at seeing this blurry piece of shit show up in the camera. Was the picture good? Hell no, but at least we had something to show for our efforts. (I sadly don't have the picture anymore, otherwise I'd show it.)

The Orion Nebula

Probably the most basic answer, yeah. But you have to love this nebula. It's easy to find, bright (for a nebula), and is home to an interesting star cluster as well. You can even see it with the naked eye if you go somewhere that's dark enough.

I'm pretty biased because Orion is my favorite constellation, and the Orion Nebula is the easiest nebula in Orion to spot. But I love it anyways.

I'm usually horrible at these things because I never know what to ask, so thank you for the nifty list. XD My question because I love seeing your pole videos -> What made you decide to get into pole fitness?

that is why I made the list, bc I'm also horrible at coming up with questions 😂

anyway. for anyone who is unaware, I post a weekly pole video on Instagram after my pole fitness class. like honestly I do that more predictably than I post about my books lmao.

[I'll add a link to my latest reel when I'm back on desktop, since on mobile the phone's menu blocks the link button when I highlight the text.]

okay so how I got into it:

I had a work friend who does aerial silks (among other things), who invited me to the showcase at the studio she teaches at. something I loved about their showcase was the body diversity, especially in the pole, burlesque, and chair routines. like!! you've got all these plus-sized women looking sexy and confident as hell, and I was like, I want to feel that way.

so after the second showcase I went to, I stopped by my friend's office like "I'm thinking of trying a pole class," and she INSTANTLY grabbed her phone, texted the beginner pole instructor, signed me up for a drop-in class, and said "no more thinking, now you just have to try it :)"

which btw was very effective, like I'm convinced I would've tried it eventually but it probably would've taken another six months of careful consideration bc that's how I generally am.

instead, I went, and I've gone every week since. it's been like 10 months now, and I've also tried a Lyra (aerial hoop) workshop and a pole choreography class, plus helped out with pole demos at Pride, plus go to a free monthly Latin dance night my instructor hosts downtown with a friend from the local ballroom company.

it's the most in tune I've ever been with my own body (ever a work in progress, but we're getting there), plus the best I've ever felt about my body.

on that note, have a thirst trap that a different platform marked as "suggestive content," which is the first time that's ever happened to me lmao

I said my thirties would be my hot girl era, and so they are 😤

For both Argenta and Syzh'favia: 🎻 🍎 💜?

Always glad to see you! <3

🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)?

Argenta - well, she has a lovely singing voice, but isn't really proficient with musical instruments. Aside from a flute, which she sorta picked during Free Crusaders' gatherings in The Sanctuary of The Silver Symphony (her Court), but she is an amateur :)

Syzh'Favia - now, she is a daughter of two bards from a musical troupe, and she can, more or less, play any "popular" instrument (like the ones presented in the game), especially if it's a simple folk melody, but her instrument of choice (and for self-made improvisations) is lyra, and Favi is, indeed, a virtuoso with it. In fact, that's how she made a Pact with her Patron - during one of the troupe Sword Coast tours, on a town's Summer Festival she met a fellow wandering lyrist, who, having heard her performance, challenged Syzh'Favia to a music duel. On a condition that the winner will receive the loser's instrument as a prize. And after a hard, but fun competition concerto their audience finally declared Favi's victory. So her rival's fulfilled the terms... And then it turned out that their lyre was magical, the rival themselves was a fey in disguise and has now bestowed a part a their powers on the astonished tiefling bard through said lyre. So Favi needs it to do any of her magic, but the fey's lyre can't really be lost, stolen or broken forever - she can summon it back anytime she wishes. As long as Syzh'Favia doesn't abandon her musical craft and writes at least few new songs each year :D

🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?

Argenta - Was born in Ardis, Ustalav, but didn't stayed here for long, as her mother, Ruxandra (former) Mivirania, run away from home soon after Argy's birth to save her daughter life and/or future. They and Rux's friend-turned-lover-then-turned-wife, Pheli the gnome shaman wandered the Ustalav for some time, moving south before crossing to Lastwall and, eventually, to north Nirmathas, where they finally settled for good. Well, her mothers did - Argenta left on her 18th birthday, fused with Silver Lining and went back to Ustalav through Varisia and Realm of the Mammoth Lords. It has the most pleasant climate and aesthetics for her, but she is certainly no patriot, she just was a (mainly) undead hunter and Ustalav has plenty of bounties for them.

Syzh'Favia - since game give me no choice in the matter (unless i missed something), she is baldurian. She loves her city and it's people - for they make a good stage and even better listeners for her performances! And are good people in general, too! Though she had to leave Baldur's Gate pretty often with the rest of musical troupe, and was in a lot of other Sword Coast cities and even traveled to Moonshae Isles a few times. But Favi has always counted Baldurs Gate as her "true" home - even if she doesn't *yet* have her own house here (the troupe lives in commune).

💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?

Argenta - she is a bastard offspring of Mivirania, a minor noble human (with a very-very small drop of elven blood) family in Ardis. They don't really have that much in wealth or influence, especially compared to other noble families, but, my, do they try to compensate it with pride and arrogance! So when Ruxandra, the youngest daughter, who was to be wed with the son of another noble family, suddenly turned out to be pregnant and gave birth to a foul half-undead, the heads of the family got very angry and decided that in order to save the prosperous marriage they will 1) Keep the whole deal in secret and 2) Dispose of the child in unspecified manner. And that's when Rux, the meek, the quiet and the obedient (but also optimistic and kind) finally snapped, teamed up with eager Pheli, grabbed Argenta and sneaked out of her (frankly, abusive) household for good. Good for her.

(As for Argenta's father - well, for a long time everyone thought, for an obvious reason, that it was some moroi vampire, encounter (and, well, everything else that transpired) with whom shocked her mother so much that she forgot everything that happened. But then, during the Fifth Crusade Argenta learned that, apparently, it was Areelu's doing. She, as usual, was experimenting.

(It's actually a pretty old picture, from Beta days of WoTR, hense Areelu's tabletop face and Argenta's edired portrait. Back then, it was a joke).

And after this moment, it was even more abundantly clear that there will be no peace, because nobody really hurts Argenta's mom like that and ruins her life (from Argy's POV) and then doesn't get wrecked. Don't push that red button.

And by "wrecked" i don't mean just punched or killed - it means "i am going to play along that i am your dead daughter and your experiment was a success, use you to ascend myself and my friends (and also kill two other big assholes along the way)... and then i will throw you in a ditch, and in your last moments you will know that you have been played. Oh, did i mention that i will ask Pharasma to erase your soul, too?" There is a reason why Argenta is a CG who is still close to CN - there is a dark side from her connection to negative energy, she just keeps it in check. In absolutely most cases.

(And, tbh, Areelu did a lot more than just hurting Rux to deserve such strong attitude from Argenta. It was more of straw that broke dhampir's back, i think).

Syzh'Favia - in contrast from drama that is above, her family life is a lot more simpler. She is a Mephistopheles tiefling daughter to a Mephistopheles tiefling father and an Asmodeus tiefling mother, who, as stated before, are both bards in a semi-wandering troupe of musicians, jesters and magicians. She is the only child, but had a few kids more or less her age among other troupe members as playmates and childhood friends. They weren't (and aren't) any big superstars, but are known in some circles, make a decent coin on performances and love each other very much :3

During the game events the whole troupe, including Favi's parents, were in the middle of yet another big Sword Coast tour, on which Favi herself didn't went, and learned about the illithid-tadpole business after everything was already over :D

#thank you! <3 #asks #my ocs #argenta lining #syzh'favia

I've been too depressed to move or leave the house for weeks. I had signed up for a beginner's aerial class back in fall, before the seasonal affective disorder really kicked in, and today was the first class.

Even though I had timed it so I would be there 20 minutes early, I ended up 40 minutes late because I was stuck in traffic for almost a full hour because of an accident.

I came in with only a few minutes of the class left. Wearing ill-fitting workout gear, other students staring at me, teacher flustered because I had shown up so late and she couldn't restart the lesson.

I learned just a few basics, how to get into a lyra hoop and out again, how to sit in it and do a simple hang.

I bruised the hell out of my tailbone. I kept swinging the hoop by mistake. I didn't look as graceful as the other students. My shirt kept riding up. I took a short video of myself, and I looked overweight and clumsy, a clear amateur.

...

But I did it.

Metaphor Storytime!

This will happen occasionally, because as I'm sure those of you with it know, ADHD brain processes literally everything by patterns and association. So let's talk about some of my metaphors for life. Today's story is Do the Drop.

Ok, so over the past 10 years just about, I have trained off and on in circus, mainly focusing on clowning and props, balancing, aerials, and basic strength/weight training. I say on and off, because I'm incapable of forming my own routine, and classes and/or personal Trainor sessions are... Financially unattainable, at times. Anyway, when I can afford to be training, I like to say that I do clowning and balancing for the bread (I also street perform once in a great while, so these are the things that put bread in my stomach. Not to say I don't enjoy them; they're a ton of fun, but my One True Love in terms of circus art is just elsewhere), and aerials for the heart (I don't care if having the skill and setup to be a legit performer ever comes to form; I go to the classes simply for the enjoyment of touching hoop and fabric and getting my feet off the ground on a regular basis. The act alone brings me joy).

There are certain tricks in aerial performance called "Drops". These are the ones where you set up by wrapping yourself in fabric or rope, or hang yourself over the bottom of the hoop or bar of the trapeze, and then let go and look pretty as you trust gravity to do the work. There are drops that spin you into front flips, slide you down like a fire pole, even drops (especially on the hoop) where you straight up just let go and grab somewhere else. An example is a trick I learned as the "Chandelier Drop" on the Lyra hoop— simple, yet complicated. You start from an inverted hang off the top, between the points if you're on a 2 point hoop (which is fancy for saying hanging upside down from your knees at the top, between the parts where the rope is hooked on 😛). To prep, you reach down for the bottom of the hoop, hold it straight out slightly in front of you without locking your elbows (so the hoop is tilted and not pointed directly at the floor— you're vertical and upside down), unhook your non- dominant leg from the hoop, and stick it out in front of you at a 90° angle or less toward the floor (so yes, you're hanging by one leg, with the other kicking straight out in front of you), and tilt your head back so your chin points toward the floor.

Then to do the drop, you just let go of your other leg. in the few seconds you're in the air, your second leg swings forward to join the first, and your hands keep the bottom of the hoop from hitting you in the face while guiding it safely into your hips. You end up in a hip-hang, piking your legs straight in front of you and holding the bar with bent elbows, essentially looking like you're sitting in a chair upside down with a safety belt across your lap. Simple— the drop itself is one step; just let go and the next thing you're aware of is that it's already over. Let go, kick, protect face, done. Complicated— the setup is very precise; if your legs are just slightly too open or you hyperextend your elbows without thinking, you could fall out of the hoop, and if your grip fails there, you could be falling face-, neck-, or tailbone first. If you're not holding the bar firm enough in place, it'll swing back directly under your head and you'll end up with a black eye or a nosebleed at the very least; if you try to hold it too firm, the bar will land on the straight of your thigh instead of the crease of your hip, and you'll end up with some bruised femurs and a very awkward front flip or invert (any time you're upside down— this time from your hands, like a very crooked Olympic rings competitor).

So where's the metaphor for life come in? Right, I'll get to the actual point. When I first learned to do beginner drops, like the Chandelier, I had problems where I would freeze at the top and not be able to let go. I was so afraid of that dead weight falling sensation and all the things that could go wrong, that I would make sure I set up perfectly, but then I physically could not open my hands and let go of the bar (or the hoop, or the fabric). I was just... Frozen, suspended, the perfect living depiction of the archetypal Hanged Man card from a tarot deck. This locked up, instinctive hesitation was, in itself, dangerously unsustainable— these setup positions are not designed to be held indefinitely, and they're not considered secure or resting positions. If I don't let go with that knee eventually, the blood will rush to my head and I'll pass out; if I don't choose to open my first on the fabric soon my hand will get sweaty and tired and I'll slip off of it anyway. If I try to baby my way through it or slow down the fall to process it in real time, I could put more stress on my palms or hips or muscles than there should be and get too fatigued to make it to the ground safely, or give myself horrible rope burns or bruises that will take weeks to heal, or even sprain or dislocate a joint. Sometimes my anxiety is the armor that keeps me safe from very real dangers around me, and keeps me prepared for things that aren't planned for; this time though, that same anxiety is my mortal enemy, and if I allow it to have any space in this moment at all, those dangers that it wants to point out and prepare for indefinitely will come to pass. Sometimes it's fundamentally required that I put life on pause, give my fear or grief or discomfort attention and space to exist, and let them wash over before I can healthily move forward; but the only thing that letting those emotions do all the talking for me will do in this moment is make things worse. In order to safely do the drop, in order to get the extremely satisfying and rewarding rush of adrenaline and dopamine from completing the trick, I have to tell them to shut up for a second and wait til it's over to talk. I have to empty my brain, stop thinking, and just Do the Drop.

This is.... Not only foreign, but completely contradictory to the nature of how my brain works. I'm ADHD; there is no off switch to the voices in my head. I have general anxiety; everything is scary, especially the things I don't know about yet, so I have to imagine all of them and plan for every single one. "Just be quiet and wait til after" is not something my rambunctious toddler of a nervous system can just do. So how do I get it to let me do the fun thing?? I trick it, by using its own functions against it. See, another feature of ADHD is that it comes with both future blindness and object impermanence, the result of which is essentially that anything outside of the next 24 hours is a physical object I cannot see and therefore cannot functionally process the existence of. ADHD folks have trouble setting long term goals because of this; there is no timeline, there is only "right fucking now" or "perpetual later", and there's no pathway between them to move things back and forth. We end up procrastinating things we don't want to do because they are only ever on the distant horizon until they are suddenly right on top of us. There is no watching them approach; there is only seeing these things teleport directly from there to here. If this sounds to be a direct paradox with those ever present voices of fear that have to make us imagine and plan out every single thing before they happen, that's because you are correct— they are complete opposites. They happen at the same time. We're just as scared and confused as you are. Basically, one is a process that involves the "theory" of planning, or the creativity and racing thoughts we're always teeming with, and the other is the "practical application" of it, or performing the executive function of things like processing time and delaying gratification. For us, they're separate parts of the brain.

Getting back to that Chandelier drop on the Lyra hoop from earlier, now I know what's currently happening— the imagination and emotion parts of my brain are turned on and using too much power— and what should be happening instead— the executive function and physical movement parts of my brain should be turned on and doing most of the work— and what that looks like in terms of what my brain is doing and not doing— imagining all the ways I could die vs. moving and protecting my body. So now I can manually, consciously turn off the anxiety symptoms and turn on the ADHD symptoms, which goes a little like this: ok, what am I doing right now? Well I'm setting up a drop and I'm letting go of the hoop and I'm hitting myself in the face or falling on my neck or looking stupid and ungraceful when I mess up or— nah, stop that. I'm not actually doing all of that right now. I'm just doing this one thing. Wanna know what it is? I— but— o-oh? Ok... Cool. All I'm doing right now is kicking my left leg. ..... O-oh. Yea. It's super easy, look, the arms and the chin and the extra leg stuff are already done, they're cool. I'm just doing the kick thing right now. But.... What happens after? Lol fuck if I know, dude. I have zero forsight. Anyway, time isn't real, so I'm just gunna go ahead and do it now. ONE, TWO, THREE— >~~<;;;........ >~~0 oh. It's.... It's already over. We survived. Yep. Neat, huh?

I have this internal conversation between Anxiety and ADHD, of course, preprogrammed and compressed into a single, split-second command function for efficiency and automation. When I consciously "input the command" or think to myself, "Do the Drop", my brain instantly switches gears as if it's already had this conversation with itself— the executive function and physical movement parts switch on and take their required energy, which forces the emotional and creative sections to switch off. When I tell myself "do the drop", I go through a mechanical process that is linked to the countdown— look straight ahead, deep breath in, transfer thought to muscular impulse. Blink. Action complete. And before I know it, I'm already sitting in the end position. I don't want to say that I close my eyes, or describe it as blanking out or dissociating, but essentially I've learned to do just that in a safe and controlled way. I can only follow through on the mechanical action if I turn off every unnecessary function of my mind and let my muscles and joints themselves handle the instinct to keep me alive. Once I've transitioned from one secure position to the next secure position, there is only the real result of the past action to process, rather than the projected outcomes of the future; all I have to sort through now is counting up how much strength I have for the next action and distributing the adrenaline that's now in my veins evenly so I can still breathe. Those are things I can already see and touch, those are things I know, they're a lot less scary than the things I don't.

So I come to the end of my story, and bring this all around to my overly complicated metaphors that get me through daily life. Sometimes, things transition from one state to another. Those things on the "later" horizon inevitably appear in the urgent "now" one day. Weather we're aware of these things in our logical mind or not, our emotional mind can only ever handle them one way, as they happen in real time— I may have known for months that my roommate has dreamed of moving to NYC since he was a kid. He may have said to me, point blank and completely bare, "I am moving out in 6 months". These things have been documented by my conscious mind. This documentation means jack shit to my feelings mind. My feelings mind is the shelter cat with weird neurotic quirks I have to be careful of, and while I understand what's about to happen, it's completely unreasonable to expect this animal to understand and behave accordingly. It is only capable of being aware of the present, and is only capable of defending itself from the real things in its environment. So currently, I face a choice: move that scary transition to the "Now" box before it happens, and shut my life down indefinitely as my anxiety runs wild with mapping out all the bad things that could happen and are likely to happen, or allow my ADHD brain to keep ignoring all of it in the "later" box until I'm watching old roomie drive away and watching new roomie use our bathroom in the mornings, and deal with the overly intense and dysfunctional negative feelings as they hit in real time. As with this event in my life now, I have faced this imperfect decision of choice between suffering panic now or suffering despair later.

So the moral of the story is this: sometimes, anxiety is a silent helper. Sometimes, Anxiety is little red riding hood's parents telling her that the rules are to stay on the path no matter what and don't stop for anything until she gets to granny's house. Other times though, it's just the Shepard boy who came running into town shouting about a wolf that wasn't there because he had nothing to keep him occupied. I've learned that there are times when it's rewarding and fun to challenge my anxiety, like when I want to chase that high from doing an aerial drop, or when I want to go out into the city and watch people in a busy cafe. Sometimes, life throws something at me that I can't possibly realistically plan out ahead— and in fact, it may be incredibly unhealthy to let myself do so. It's much less damaging and disruptive to my life to force myself to take these changes as they come. In other words, sometimes there are times in life where I just have to take a deep breath and tell myself... "Ok. I've never experienced this, and I have no template to plan for it. Yeet, motherfucker, let's Do this Drop."

Best 15 Vocal Microphones for Singing at Home - Mugafi

If you want to record songs at home and you have no idea about which microphone to use, then here I am to help you out, covering from the cheapest to the most expensive microphone you can use to record your song at home. Frankly speaking, your performance is what matters. No matter which microphones you use for singing, your songs will sound amazing, but the fact cannot be ignored that a good microphone for singing will make your vocals sound pleasant and soothing to the listeners.

Types of Microphone

Before discussing various microphones for singing, let us understand the different types of microphones.

USB Microphone

If you need a convenient microphone for singing at home, it is a great choice. A USB microphone has an interface built in itself, which enables you to plug it directly into your USB port. A USB Microphone also has amplifications so as to adjust the signals at the right levels. There are a plethora of options when you use a USB microphone for singing at home.

The problem with a USB microphone is that you cannot replace or change it and also cannot connect other microphones for singing until and unless you purchase new USB microphones for singing. For this reason, I rather advise you to invest in purchasing an interface, or you can also go with a dynamic microphone, which is inexpensive too. While you are using the dynamic microphone for singing at home, it is very convenient to jump or upgrade to the condenser as per your need.

Dynamic Microphone

A dynamic microphone is very useful and makes a lot of sense for singing at home. It is a great microphone for singing as it features a cardioid pickup pattern. Usually, you’ll use a dynamic mic when you wish to record any instrument or vocalist with either a broader range in amplitude (volume) or that is really loud. They can withstand higher SPLs without getting damaged or distorting inside.

Condenser Microphone

It will be best to choose a condenser microphone for singing. If you have a good budget, then you should definitely invest in a condenser microphone for singing at home, and I promise you will not regret investing in it. Also, whenever you are using a condenser microphone at home for recording, then do purchase a Pop Filter that will improve your vocal quality, making it clear as it eliminates breathing noises and extra background sounds. Condenser microphones overcome the flaws of the dynamic microphone as they specialize in recording small details when coupled with phantom power.

These were three main features or types you can say when it comes to different types of microphones.

Commonly used Microphone for Singing at Home

Let us discuss some of the most widely used microphones for singing at home or studio.

Shure MV7 USB

Shure MV7 Podcast Mic is easy to use. It has an in-built DSP, which is adjustable as per the requirement with high quality and dual-format, which means you can use it as either a USB Mic or as an XLR Mic or even as both at the same time.

AKG Lyra

The AKG Lyra is marketed as an ‘Ultra-HD Multimode USB microphone.’ It is very flexible in its use. You just have to plug it into your computer, load up your audio software, and here you are, good to go.

Blue Yeti

A blue yeti USB Mic is one with a switchable pickup pattern. This microphone looks super cool when kept at your desk. A blue yeti pro USB is the upper version of a blue yeti mic with some additional benefits.

RODE NT1

A is one of the best condenser microphones for beginners. This microphone has a large-diaphragm transducer type (25 mm), with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20 kHz. The Rode NT1-A has a cardioid polar pattern and a good frequency response that focuses on your performance and captures minutes of the details with no alterations.

Shure SM7B

This is one of the most widely used microphones for vocal recording.

The Shure SM7B is a favourite among professional musicians because of its dependable performance, premium build quality, and noise-cancelling software that allows for crystal-clear recordings. This microphone is intended for experienced experts and aspiring professionals in the industry; it is not for people just starting out in the recording. All recording ranges benefit greatly from the uniform frequency response, and various responses can be used in other studio applications.

It is the ideal companion for controlled-environment recording. Depending on the intended outcome, users can alternate between the three frequency responses flat, bass roll-off, and presence enhancement.

The high-pass frequency response is advantageous for professional audio mixers. It works wonders for reducing low-frequency electronic hums caused by nearby equipment.

KU5A microphone

A unique transformer and JFET circuitry are included with the active KU5A. Similar to the A440, R84A, and NUVO ribbon microphones, it has a unique transformer that boosts output while reducing perceptible noise and maintaining impedance. This permits more versatility with various preamps, including those found in audio interfaces, and consistent frequency response. When recording quiet sources like vocals and delicate acoustic guitars, the enhanced output of the KU5A is helpful, and the active circuitry eliminates background noise. Standard 48-volt phantom power is used to operate the KU5A.

DPA d: facto Vocal Mic
