The Audio-Technica BP4029 Short Stereo Shotgun Mic promises professional quality sound recording for broadcasting applications. It is equipped with two different capsules: line-cardioid facing to the front and figure-of-eight condenser elements facing sideways. This ensures you'll be able to capture sound from the front of the microphone, as well as from the sides simultaneously or as required. It further features an internal matrix system that allows you to experiment with different sound modes for the desired output. An integrated 80 Hz high-pass filter eliminates the ambient noise during recording for delivering clean, crisp, and coherent sound. This professional microphone uses phantom power to operate with pro-audio devices. Its sleek and lightweight design is tailored for easy mounting on a variety of camera systems.
