There is a high-press filter and presence booster button located on its base with which to improve the sound quality, as well as an inbuilt pop-filter to help guard against plosive sounds from slipping through. Its RMP106 cartridge can be replaced if need be.

It offers an ISO range of 10 – 25,600 that can be expanded up to 51,200 with up to 11fps of continuous video recording.
