We use very good cable and connectors, which may make our microphones more resistant to EMI. This can be relevant for broadcasting / streaming. Our microphones(and streamboxes) come with an indefinite commitment to replace, repair and/or help with any issues you encounter.

MICROPHONES
The Primo EM272Z replaces the legendary Primo EM172! They seem just as good. The PUI is a cheaper alternative, which gives more tolerance for learning. They also sound excellent, and work particularly well with the IQ Audio Codec Zero for running live streams – maybe better than the Primo’s. Otherwise, they may lack some detail and refinement, but opinions vary.
