How It Works

A mic that sounds so accurate and travels so well can only come from audio pros with major touring experience. This compact barrel mic has a supercardioid/lobal polar pattern for capturing only your intended sound source, with a wide frequency range for natural audio reproduction. Advanced user controls for headphone monitoring, low-cut filter, mic gain adjustments, track management and playback support are all intuitively accessed for uninterrupted control. As for quiet? We’re less ‘boomy’ than you’d ever believe. Hear for yourself. 

Why It's Better

Sound pro perfection.

Our audio pedigree has been thoroughly sound checked by legends. With the YouTubers catching on, it’s time to up your audio game.

SD card’s a charm.

You’ll still record directly to your camera, but with an ace in the hole: micro SD card backup that never passes through the pre-amps in your camera.

Lose the noise.

Built-in shock-absorbing Rycote® Lyre® suspension isolates vibration and mechanical noise. Stellar RF immunity eliminates unwanted audio artifacts from cell phones and RF devices.

  • Digital flash memory with up to 32GB micro SD card
  • Ergonomic, 5-position advanced control lever
  • Real-time monitoring and detailed, illuminated LCD display
  • Detachable 3.5mm audio output cable
