Shotgun Microphones
Capture focused, directional audio with Shotgun Microphones, specialised microphones designed for film production, video recording, broadcasting, location sound, interviews, and content creation. Shotgun microphones use a highly directional pickup pattern to isolate sound sources while reducing background noise from the sides and rear.
This category includes short shotgun microphones, long shotgun microphones, on-camera shotgun mics, and broadcast-grade shotgun microphones, suitable for video cameras, camcorders, DSLR and mirrorless cameras, audio recorders, and boom pole setups. They are ideal for capturing dialogue, speech, and ambient sound in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Shotgun microphones are widely used by filmmakers, videographers, broadcasters, journalists, content creators, documentary crews, and production teams. Their narrow pickup pattern makes them especially effective for dialogue recording, interviews, ENG, film shoots, and live video production.
Modern shotgun microphones feature supercardioid or lobar polar patterns, low self-noise circuitry, weather-resistant designs, and interference tube construction for precise sound capture. Many models offer battery power or phantom power operation, as well as compact designs for on-camera mounting.
Shotgun microphones are commonly paired with boom poles, shock mounts, windshields, blimps, audio recorders, cameras, and wireless transmitter systems, forming a complete professional location recording setup.
From run-and-gun video shoots to professional film production, shotgun microphones deliver focused audio, clarity, and control in demanding recording environments.
