The VideoMic Pro is a true shotgun microphone designed for use with camcorders, DSLR cameras, and portable audio recorders as a primary and reference audio source. At the heart of the VideoMic Pro is an all-new 1/2" condenser capsule that delivers broadcast-quality audio via a 3.5mm minijack connector (Mono signal pickup to left and right channels) with an incredibly low self-noise of only 14dB. A super-cardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimized, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera. The integrated Rycote® Lyre®-based shockmount system separates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that can cause unwanted rumble and vibration in the microphone. Constructed from a single piece of durable thermoplastic, the Lyre® provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag, or snap. Power, filter, and level controls are easily accessible on the rear panel of the microphone. In addition to the microphone's native 40Hz-20kHz response, a selectable high-pass filter at 80Hz is available, which will prevent low-end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. Below these controls are the level settings, which attenuate or boost the recorded level as needed. The -10dB level attenuation (or level) is ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to the camera. The 20dB level boost is designed for use with DSLR cameras, allowing the user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic input level), thereby reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's relatively low-quality audio circuitry. The microphone uses a standard sized shoe mount for camera use, and features a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom pole mounting. The VideoMic Pro is battery powered, and provides over 70 hours of recording from a single 9V battery. The R-DE VideoMic is designed and manufactured in Australia, and is backed by R-DE Microphones' industry leading 10-year warranty. • Shock Mount® Lyre® Rycote® board mount • All-new capsule with lower noise and higher sensitivity • Broadcast recording quality condenser microphone • Compact form factor (150mm/6" length), Ultra lightweight (85g/3oz), 9V battery powered - over 70 hours of use (alkaline), • Integrated shock mount • Integrated foam windscreen • 3.5mm stereo mini-jack output (dual mono) • Filter Two-stage High Pass (flat, 80Hz) • Position level control (-10dB, 0, 20dB) • Camera shoe mount with 3/8" thread for easy boom pole mounting, Line Gradient acoustic principle, Active electronics: JFET impedance converter, Capsule: 0.50", Pickup: End, Bandwidth: 40Hz - 20kHz (HPF @80), Output impedance: 200Ω, Max. level: Sound Pressure Level (SPL): 134dB (@1kHz, 1% THD into 1kΩ), Maximum Output Level: 6.9dBu (@1kHz, 1% THD into 1kΩ) (@ 1kHz, 1% THD into 1KΩ load), Sensitivity: -32.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (20.00mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz, Equivalent Noise Level (A-weighted): 14dBA, Weight: 85g, Dimensions: 100mmH x 75mmW x 170mmD, Compatible Accessories: ZP1, ZP2, PG1, VXLR, VC1, VC1, Tripod, Boompole, Mini Boompole, Micro boompole, Pivot adaptor, Deadcat VMPR, Micro Boompole Pro.
