Very innovative naming! ;D
Just spotted this for the upcoming NAMM.

...the MK 4 was originally intended for project studio professionals, but is just as suitable for various other recording situations and is robust enough for stage use. It will also be available in an attractive price point for home recorders and musicians.
A maximum sound pressure level of 140 dB can be produced and it offers a very low self-noise level of 10 dB.

It's also available in dark grey - I have seen a pic. but not seen a web-pic that I can link to.
It also has a cut-away shockmount available - so you can get in close without the front ring getting in the way - looks the same as the one Neumann are doing for the TLM 102.
