VM-101

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.

The Polsen VM-101 is a sturdy directional condenser microphone that delivers
high-quality sound to a DSLR camera, camcorder, or audio recorder.

Unlike omni-directional microphones built in to most cameras and recorders, the
high-quality, directional condenser capsule of the VM-101 will decrease ambient
noise while recording sound with greater clarity. The built-in wind screen will also
minimize noise caused by moving air. Solid ABS construction and an integrated shock
mount assure that sudden movements will not detract from the recording.

The VM-101 runs on a single AAA battery, and the compact, ultra-portable size, light weight,
and included carry pouch make the VM-101 ideal for recording on the go. The integrated

shoe-mount adapter ts any shoe-mount attachment, and the ¼˝-20 threaded socket
ts most boom poles. The VM-101 includes both a foam windscreen and fur wind cover

for added protection against vocal plosives and wind noise when recording dialog.
