Sanken CS-3e Short Shotgun Microphone
From the Manufacturer:
The Sanken CS-3E shotgun microphone provides convenient camera mountable size with the directional signal reproduction and range expected of larger, professional shotgun microphones. The CS-3E is designed for directional dialog capturing in studios or on location.
The microphone implements 3 directional capsules arranged in a front-to-back array resulting in phenomenal super-cardioid directivity at high, mid and low frequencies.
The CS-3E is capable of maintaining high signal quality at longer distances, making it ideal for ceiling and overhead placement. In addition to exceptional super-cardioid off-axis rejection, the microphone capsule eliminates low-frequency proximity effect when used in close proximity to the signal source.
Measuring only 10 inches in length, the CS-3E is a candidate for camera or boom pole mounting scenarios. High Super-Cardioid Directivity Three capsules arranged in a linear array provide a super-cardioid directional pattern that rivals conventional phase interference shotgun microphones. High Pass Filter A high pass filter switch eliminates noise and rumble caused by wind, handling and more.
Eliminates Proximity Effect The CS-3E eliminates proximity effect and low-frequency overload caused by close microphone placement. Convenient Size Measuring about 10 inches, the CS-3E is perfect for both camera or boom pole mounting applications."
