The Stereo VideoMic Pro microphone is a high-quality option that is an improvement on the successful VideoMic Pro and Stereo VideoMic models. It is designed for videographers and musicians who want to capture a realistic ambient atmosphere in their recordings. This microphone uses a matched pair of high sensitivity cardioid condenser capsules in an XY stereo configuration, resulting in a wide stereo sound and natural depth.
The Stereo VideoMic Pro has all the advantages of the VideoMic Pro, including compatibility with digital SLR cameras and consumer and professional video cameras. It also has a built-in shock mount that provides excellent vibration and noise isolation, ensuring high-quality recordings. The lightweight yet durable multi-strand cable provides a reliable connection to the camera and has lower noise characteristics compared to traditional audio cables.
Convenient switches located on the back of the microphone allow for power control, adjusting signal levels, and a 75Hz filter that eliminates unwanted low-frequency interference. The microphone also includes a -10dB attenuator (PAD) for reducing sensitivity in loud environments, and a +20dB signal gain switch for better recordings on digital SLR cameras. This compensates for the low-quality gain typically found in such cameras, resulting in reduced noise and cleaner recordings.
