These compact condenser microphones, intended for use by videographers, are particularly suited for use with camcorders and DSLR system cameras. Mono types are directional, with super-cardioid pattern, while the stereo models offer a choice of dual cardioid and dual super-cardioid patterns in an X/Y configuration to offer a true 'studio' style, stereo recording technique.
VideoMic - Mono - Supercardioid
Designed for use with video camcorders, the VideoMic uses a true externally-polarised capsule and features a tough ABS construction. An integrated lyre suspension-mount by Rycote provides a very high level of mechanical isolation, eliminating virtually all motor noise, while a cold-shoe fitting is included to ensure fast, easy camcorder mounting. The windshield reduces unwanted wind noise, pad switches allow -10 and -20dB attenuation and a switched high-pass filter gives the flexibility to record in most environments.
The VideoMic has a stereo mic level output and a single PP3 battery provides 100 hours of continuous operation. The captive cable terminates in a convenient right-angled 3.5mm 3-pole jack plug and is unobtrusive to camcorder operation when connected. Response: 40Hz-20kHz.
