Variants of Antlion Audio ModMic Microphone
This efficient microphone for best quality recording has three variants in the market at present. The ModMic 4 microphone model is with two variants: one with the mute option and another without the mute option.
ModMic 4 without mute, terms as GDL-0422, is the cheapest variant and it consists of features console compatibility, Noise isolation MIC, and Antlion Cable Clasps. And, it is evident from its name that it misses an essential control option, the mute button.
