Description
The mic’s sensitivity is among the lowest we’ve seen, at just 0.16 mV/Pa. (Shure’s Beta 52 delivers 0.6 mV/Pa; most of the rest of the usual suspects rate over 1 mV/Pa.)
The A-55 does not use an output transformer behind the moving-coil cartridge.
The A-55 has an integrated mic clip. The mic ships with a micro-fiber cleaning cloth and a soft pouch for storage.
We’re told that the model name, “A-55 Kicker,” is a visual reference to the phrase “ass kicker.”
