Poweringphantom, 24-52 V. Printed under a repeated label "Output Impedance, 1 kHz: 24 to 52 Volt Phantom Power"; the label is a misprint for power.
Current draw6 mA, typical, with a P48 supply. "6 mA typ. with P48 supply".
Low cutoff, on. Only the response graph shows it: a dotted curve labelled "High Pass Filter" (page 2). The text names no switch, frequency or slope; the photo of the in-line module shows a small switch.p. 2
ConnectorXLR-3 male, on the in-line module. Connector type not stated; inferred from "Pin 2 positive, reference to pin 3" and the module.p. 1

Finishnon-reflecting black (RE92H) or white (RE92HW)
Supplied accessoriesmounting hardware for the in-line module. "Accessories Included: Mounting Hardware for inline module".
Cable7.6 m (25 ft), 2.54 mm diameter; fixed to the module by screw terminals, so it can be shortened
