• Reliable features for capturing every important sound (32-bit float recording / backup recording mode)

Easy to use

• Wireless connection via hot shoe mount
• Easy-to-use physical switches
• Compact pocket-sized design (approx. 73.7 × 45 × 63.7 mm, approx. 100 g)

Large-diameter microphone array

Equipped with a newly developed 10 mm diameter microphone array. Strict quality control standards minimize variations between individual microphone elements and ensure excellent sound quality with excellent directionality.

Advanced noise reduction systems

Vibration noise minimization
Thanks to an internal shock-mount mechanism with a floating design, the system significantly reduces vibration noise when shooting handheld or while walking.

New wind noise suppressor
Using float recording technology, the wind suppression system reduces wind noise without compressing the intended sound, ensuring high-quality recording even in strong winds.

Wind noise reduction
The package includes a large windscreen that ensures clear sound recording outdoors. It reduces wind noise while maintaining excellent sound quality.

32-bit Float Recording

The device is equipped with dual A/D converters and supports 32-bit float recording with extended dynamic range. Its high SPL design handles sound pressure levels exceeding 120 dB, suppressing distortion even in noisy environments such as live performances and ensuring clear and highly accurate recordings.

Backup Recording Mode

To prevent lost recordings due to setting errors and to capture ambient sound, the device offers two backup recording modes. When recording in 4-channel mode, channels 3 and 4 can be used as backup to reliably capture important audio.

No cables, just a hot shoe

Power and digital audio input are provided directly from the camera body via the hot shoe connection, minimizing the overall size of the system.

Pocket size for easy portability
Measuring approximately 73.7 × 45 × 63.7 mm and weighing only 100 g, this high-performance microphone is easy to carry.

Special case for smart storage
The package includes a case designed to hold the microphone with the windscreen attached, ideal for recording on the go.

Easy-to-use physical switches

Intuitive control is possible using the buttons on the microphone body.

Six buttons for directional modes are located on the back. The brightness of the button backlight can be adjusted in three levels directly from the camera depending on the shooting environment. The audio settings are concentrated on the side panel.
