Shotgun microphone that is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone, able to handle even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, it picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear. The switchable “Low Cut” filter additionally minimizes wind noise. The rugged all-metal housing further provides very good suppression of structure-borne noise. The microphone offers combination of supercardioid and lobar pickup pattern and frequency response of 40 Hz-20 kHz. Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the microphone can be also battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely and it has a “Low Batt” indicator. The microphone is supplied with foam windshield and shock mount. Sensitivity in free field, no load: 21 mV/Pa at P48; 19 mV/Pa with battery powering. Nominal impedance: 25 Ohm. Maximum sound pressure (passive): 132 dB at P48; 126 dB with battery powering. Dimensions: 20 x 256 mm. Weight: 128 g (without battery).
