- • Audio Quality: Clear, precise frontal capture with reduced background noise
- • Best for: Interviewers, vloggers and videographers using DSLR or DV camcorders

Shotgun condenser microphone with super-cardioid pickup aimed at on-camera use. High-definition resolution and focused pickup help isolate the subject from ambient noise.
Clear interview audio - with a super-cardioid shotgun condenser
Super-cardioid pickup concentrates sensitivity on sound directly in front of the capsule and reduces off-axis noise, using ultra-high sensitivity and a large pickup range. The condenser design delivers higher definition resolution suited to spoken voice and on-camera work.
Dialogue and interviews come through noticeably clearer than most built-in camera microphones, making recordings easier to edit and more intelligible for audiences.
Cleaner outdoor recordings - with foam and furry wind covers
Soft foam and furry wind covers physically diffuse wind gusts and plosive bursts before they reach the capsule, reducing low-frequency rumble and transient spikes. User feedback confirms the inclusion of both cover types for different weather conditions.
Outdoor shoots and live streams suffer less wind noise, so fewer takes and less post-processing are required for usable audio.
