Features
This unidirectional stereo microphone is designed for use with video cameras. It can
record sound at a higher level of sensitivity when used on a video camera that
supports stereo recording. Since it has a simple shape and a light weight and it
comes in a rugged and sturdy metal case, full and quick rein can be given to its
mobility.
In addition to its battery-supplied power, power can also be supplied from its stereo
mini plug
1 /
8
˝ (3.5 mm) so that an even greater degree of mobility can be achieved
when used on a video camera that supports plug-in power.
Precautions for use
