Thank you for investing in the VideoMic.
Those of you who are first time
may be interested to know that is one
of the largest and most respected professional
microphone companies in the world. Our studio
microphones are the ‘tone’ behind some of the
biggest hits of the last decade, and our award
winning live performance microphones are on tour
throughout the world.
The VideoMic is a very special product. Like many
great inventions, it is the result of a need that
was not being met. I bought a high quality MiniDV
camera, and went looking for a shotgun mic.
The choices were either totally useless low cost
rubbish, or mics not designed for MiniDV cameras
that cost a fortune.
I was amazed that no one offered a quality product
that worked and was affordable. This made
me decide to design and build the definitive
video microphone.
I wanted a microphone that would provide
the same level of sound quality and low noise
specifications as high cost professional models, and
be easy to use, and mount. The
delivers on that aim!
How can
It is simple.
spends millions of dollars on R&D and
automated machinery. When you invest in
high volume production technologies, the costs
drop dramatically. We pass on these savings to
our customers. We have been doing this with
our studio microphones for the last 14 years,
and continue to win international awards for
performance and quality.
Please take the time to read this manual so that
you can get the best out of your microphone.
