Enjoy studio recording quality with pro features like integrated shockmounting, a two-step high-pass filter (flat or 80Hz), and a three-stap pad (0, -10, -20dB).
The microphone exhibits low noise and an unusually wide bandwidth for its size. It is ultra lightweight, yet rugged due to its ABS construction. The VideoMic is powered by a standard 9V battery and offers a Low Battery LED status indicator.
Integrated shock-mounting and the switchable high-pass filter reduce unwanted low frequency rumble, and a windshield is also included.
The VideoMic attaches to any Camcorder that has the standard camera-shoe fitting and utilizes a stereo mini jack for audio output.
