Streaming Microphone with Selectable Pickup Patterns

Toggle between three capture modes using an onboard switch on the microphone. Monoaural unidirectional is best for narration, voiceover, and podcasting applications. Omnidirectional allows for multiple subjects or a room’s atmosphere to be captured. Stereo unidirectional is suitable for music recording. An included pop filter reduces plosives when the speaker’s mouth is close to the microphone.

Multi Interface Shoe

Use the receiver’s integrated Multi Interface Shoe for cable-free connection to your compatible Sony camera. The camera body can supply power to the receiver when attached. Audio is transmitted via direct digital signal for high-quality sound free of transmission deterioration.

Various Wired Connections

• USB-C digital audio outputs on both the receiver and microphone support 48 kHz 24-bit audio recording to your compatible PC or smartphone.
• A 3.5mm TRS jack on the receiver supports a stereo audio output recording to your compatible camera, PC, or smartphone. Use the 3.5mm jack on the microphone to connect an external mic input. You can record up to 3 hours using the port on the receiver, while the microphone can record up to 13 hours with a separately available input device.
• An integrated dial on the microphone switches the 3.5mm TRS jack from an external microphone input to a headphone jack when utilizing the USB-C connection to record. This allows for real-time monitoring of the audio signal and the ability to better control your volume with the onboard volume dial.

Multiple Mounting Solutions

The included desktop stand can be rotated 360° for optimal positioning. It can be easily attached or detached from the microphone. A 1/4″-20 thread at the bottom of the microphone can connect it to a tripod or boom arm.

Bluetooth Wireless Communication

The units communicate with one another via Bluetooth 5.3 low-energy LC3plus codec from up to 492′ away. The Bluetooth LC3plus codec ensures low power consumption and low latency while maintaining high sound quality.
