Audio-Technica's AT897 is designed for field audio acquisition in film/TV/video production, professional recording, wildlife recording and broadcast applications. It mounts conveniently on a DV camcorder without adding noticeable heft, and remains out of the frame even with compact digital cameras. This high-performance short shotgun offers outstanding long-distance audio pickup due to narrow acceptance angle of line + gradient design. It also features smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality and excellent off-axis rejection of sound arriving from the sides and rear of mic.

Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition, the AT8015 provides the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long-distance sound pickup, along with excellent sound rejection from the sides and rear of mic. The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations.

Broadcaster - ?The Master of the Airwaves?

Like its name suggests this R?DE microphone was specifically designed ?ON-AIR?
applications where wide frequency response and low distortion are demanded.
Winner of the Radio World/US National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) ?What?s
Cool? award in 1998, the Broadcaster has become an industry standard when studio
sound quality is required for on air applications.
Utilizing an Australian designed and manufactured R?DE 1? externally biased condenser
transducers, the Broadcaster features a switch-able high pass filter to remove low frequency
rumble. A unique ?ON-AIR? LED indicator can be switched ?on? or ?off? by shorting contacts
on the 5 pin audio connector. This feature allows console operators to warn the ?Talent?
that the mic is live.

ProMic Laser is our first ever DSLR on-camera microphone - a shotgun condenser microphone with a precision-tuned capsule for capturing professional-quality audio direct to camera.

With more and more video recording enthusiasts taking an increased interest in the quality of the audio of their videos, ProMic Laser provides the high-quality audio to match the high-definition video capabilities of todayʼs DSLR cameras.

Laser, the first release in the ProMic series, is a truly professional solution. It has a rugged aluminium design and comes with a removable wind shield and a custom shockmount for hot-shoe mounting directly onto a DSLR camera.

Laser is battery-powered using a single AAA battery (not included), which means that the microphone has an increased sensitivity level, and a lower noise floor, but the inclusion of a -10dB Pad allows you to reduce the level of the mic for recording louder sources.

The microphone also features a Bass Cut, which gives you the option of removing unwanted low frequency rumble, such as traffic or noise from the camera itself, and this can be used in tandem with the -10dB Pad.

As with all sE Electronics products, ProMic Laser comes with a three-year free replacement warranty, which means if it lets you down, weʼll simply give you a new one.

ProMic Laser comes with a protective carry bag and a 3.5mm coiled jack-to-jack cable to connect the microphone to your camera. Laser is compatible with the upcoming ProMic accessories series, which includes boom poles and fur windshields.

The new RODE NTG-2 is a lightweight condenser shotgun microphone, designed
for professional applications within the film, video, television and production industries.
The NTG-2 provides a balanced low impedance output stage and operates either
from an internal 1.5 V battery (AA) or 48 V to the P48 standard. A wide bandwidth
and controlled polar response coupled with low noise SMT electronics, makes the
NTG-2 the perfect choice for film, video engineering and voice-over work. The NTG-2
is extremely lightweight making it ideal for mounting directly to video cameras or on
boom poles.
The NTG-2 comes complete with mount and windshield.The windscreen effectively
suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors in moderate conditions.
