XLR microphone output Whether the microphone provides an analogue XLR audio output. An XLR input accepts another source and does not satisfy this field. XLR output normally needs a separate mixer or interface for computer recording.	Not verified We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice.

Recording paths and modes How the microphone and any additional source reach the recorder. Separate mixed and individual tracks.
