- Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio
acquisition
- Short length (11") ensures mic stays out of the shot -- even when
used with compact digital cameras
- Smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality
- Provides the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long-distance
sound pickup
- Excellent sound rejection from the sides and rear of mic
- Switchable low-frequency roll-off
- Operates on battery or phantom power
