THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.
The Polsen VM-150 DSLR-Video microphone is a sleek and
compact directional condenser microphone that is designed to
deliver professional-sounding audio to a DSLR, video camera, or
audio recorder. It is ideal for professionals recording in the eld
or a studio, but it will also enhance home video recordings.
Unlike omnidirectional microphones built into most cameras,
the VM-150’s supercardioid polar pattern and shotgun design
offer great clarity and focus when recording voices or dialog.
The VM-150 is optimized to focus on the sound directly
in front of it while rejecting off-axis sound, making it an
ideal microphone for anyone recording speech or dialog
in noisy environments. Other features like adjustable gain
sensitivity and a high-pass lter further ensure clear and
natural sound with minimal background noise or rumble.

The VM-150 includes an integrated shock mount to minimize vibrations from the camera or
motion noise from a boom pole. The shoe-mount adapter ts any shoe-mount attachment
and includes a metal 1/4“-20 threaded socket for attaching to boom poles. The compact
and lightweight design assures that the VM-150 will never weigh down your rig or extend
out into the picture frame. It runs on a single AAA battery (included) and comes with a foam
windscreen for added protection against vocal plosives and wind noise.
