Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Condenser Microphone

With its lightweight yet feature-rich design, Audio-Technica’s Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone offers a simple,

powerful solution for capturing high-resolution audio for video. The microphone’s selectable line-cardioid mono and

internally matrixed mid-side stereo modes provide the exibility for recording highly focused or wide, lifelike sound.

A three-position adjustable input pad (-20 dB, -10 dB, 0 dB) accommodates even the loudest sound sources without

distortion, while a switchable low-frequency roll-off helps reduce the pickup of undesired noise. The microphone features

an integral camera shoe mount that attaches quickly to DSLRs and shoe-equipped camcorders.
