Highly Directional Shotgun Acoustic Design: The 100 mm acoustic tube focuses tightly on the sound source. It rejects surrounding noise effectively. Therefore, it improves clarity in busy environments. This makes it ideal for interviews and field recording.

Large-Diaphragm Condenser Precision: The 14 mm condenser diaphragm captures detailed and natural audio. It delivers high sensitivity with low self-noise. Consequently, speech and ambient detail sound more realistic. This supports professional-grade video production.

Integrated Shock Isolation System: The built-in shock mount reduces vibration noise from handling. It absorbs camera movement and mounting impacts. As a result, recordings remain stable and clean. This improves usability during handheld shooting.

Low-Cut Filter for Environmental Noise: The switchable low-cut filter reduces wind rumble and HVAC noise. It also minimizes traffic and low-frequency disturbances. Therefore, it enhances speech clarity outdoors. This ensures cleaner production audio.

Stepless Gain Control Dial: The rear-mounted gain knob allows smooth audio adjustment. It provides real-time level control during filming. Additionally, it helps prevent distortion. This ensures consistent recording quality in changing environments.

Safety Track Recording Protection: The safety track feature records a backup channel at reduced gain. It prevents clipping during sudden loud sounds. Consequently, users always retain usable audio. This is essential for unpredictable shooting conditions.

Advanced Noise Immunity Circuitry: Audio-Technica’s patented design reduces interference from smartphones. It also blocks RF and electronic hum. Therefore, recordings stay clean in modern digital environments. This improves reliability on set.

USB Rechargeable Long-Life Battery: The internal battery provides up to 24 hours of use. It charges via USB-C for convenience. Moreover, it supports long shooting schedules. This reduces downtime during production work.

Flexible Camera Mount System: The 12-sided shoe mount allows 30-degree rotation adjustments. It also slides for precise positioning on cameras. Therefore, users avoid frame intrusion. This ensures optimal microphone placement every time.

Real-Time Headphone Monitoring: The built-in headphone jack allows live audio monitoring. Users can adjust volume instantly during recording. As a result, they maintain full control over sound quality. This prevents unnoticed recording issues.
