Thank you for choosing Senal.
The Senal MC24-EL and MC24-ES are shotgun microphones that deliver broadcast-quality sound
in the studio or on location. They are thoughtfully designed and engineered for demanding video
productions, ENG, and broadcast applications.
These professional microphones feature a high-grade condenser transducer that captures detailed
and accurate sound. The hypercardioid polar pattern, combined with the line-plus-gradient acoustic
principle, allow for a narrow, focused pick-up pattern while maximizing the rejection of sound
coming from the sides and rear. These design elements make the MC24-EL and MC24-ES highly
directional and ideal for recording speech or dialog. The broad frequency response with full lows,
clear and precise mids, and crisp highs, delivers superb sound reproduction. For locations with
excessive low-frequency noise, the selectable high-pass filter at 180 Hz minimizes unwanted noise
and rumble.
Both microphones run on 48 V phantom power available from most professional video cameras,
mixing boards, or recording devices. The MC24-EL has the additional feature of running on battery
power with a single AA battery. Both are suitable for mounting on boom poles, mic stands, or
cameras. The
MC24-EL captures sound at a slightly longer distance, while MC24-ES’s compact size ensures that it
will not extend into the picture frame.
Both microphones are covered with a matte-black rubberized coating that greatly reduces handling
noise and ensures trouble-free recordings when the microphone is in motion. The matte finish also
rejects unwanted light reflections. Gold-plated XLR connectors deliver flawless signal transfer.
