Key Features and Specifications

Capsule Type: Condenser

The Mx Unidirectional Shotgun Microphone features a condenser capsule, known for its high sensitivity and ability to capture detailed and crisp audio. Condenser microphones are highly regarded for their excellent frequency response and ability to pick up sound with high fidelity, making this mic ideal for both studio and live performance applications.

Frequency Response: 100Hz – 16kHz

With a frequency response range of 100Hz to 16kHz, the microphone is capable of capturing a broad range of vocal and instrumental sounds. This frequency range is particularly well-suited for speech, vocals, and instrument recordings, delivering natural, full-bodied sound without distortion. The microphone’s extended high-frequency range ensures clarity and accuracy in audio capture, making it ideal for use in both studio and stage settings.

Uni-Directional Polar Pattern

The uni-directional polar pattern (also known as cardioid), which picks up sound primarily from the front, ensures that the microphone captures the desired sound source while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments with potential background noise, such as stage performances or filming locations, as it ensures only the target sound is picked up, enhancing audio quality and clarity.

Output Impedance: 1k Ohm at 1kHz

The 1k Ohm output impedance ensures compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. It allows for an efficient signal transfer without any significant loss of signal integrity. The impedance is suitable for both recording and live sound systems, ensuring clear and consistent audio delivery.

Load Impedance: 2.3k Ohm at 1kHz

The 2.3k Ohm load impedance is optimized to work seamlessly with most audio interfaces, mixers, and sound systems, making this microphone an excellent choice for a wide variety of setups. Whether you are using it in a studio environment or a live performance, the microphone will integrate smoothly with your existing gear.

Sensitivity: -38dB (Long Distance) / -45dB (Short Distance)

With a long-distance sensitivity of -38dB and a short-distance sensitivity of -45dB, this microphone is well-suited for capturing clear sound at varying distances. Whether you’re recording vocals from a distance or capturing close-up speech, this shotgun mic ensures that you get precise audio capture without distortion or unwanted noise. The ability to handle both long and short-distance sound capture makes it versatile in different scenarios, from filming to live events.

Power Supply: DC 1.5V

The microphone is powered by a DC 1.5V source, which provides consistent power for high-performance audio capture. It operates efficiently with minimal power consumption, ensuring reliable operation during long recording or performance sessions.

Mic Length: 360 mm

At a length of 360mm, the microphone is sufficiently long to achieve focused sound pickup from a distance, making it ideal for shotgun applications where precise directional audio capture is required. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to mount or hold during performances or interviews.

Output: Unbalanced

The unbalanced output is ideal for use in environments where minimal interference and straightforward setup are required. The unbalanced connection is commonly used in situations where the microphone is directly connected to audio mixers, cameras, or portable recorders, providing an easy and effective solution for sound recording.
