Deity Microphones S-Mic 3 Weather-Resistant Shotgun Microphone

Deity Microphones S-Mic 3 Weather-Resistant Shotgun Microphone

Featuring an improved weather-resistant design, the Deity Microphones S-Mic 3 Weather-Resistant Shotgun Microphone allows boom operators and field sound recordists to achieve broadcast-quality sound in a variety of outdoor shooting scenarios like indie films, ENG, and documentaries. Unwanted background noise is practically eliminated thanks to the S-Mic 3's pristine audio reproduction. Low-noise circuitry and RFI resistance ensure minimal editing in post. High-sensitivity and a wide frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz ensure intuitive sound pickup without additional tinkering. You'll find no switches, buttons, or dials on the S-Mic 3, so you always depend on it to deliver consistent sound, reliability, and ease of use.

Weather-Resistant Construction

The S-Mic 3 can withstand virtually any weather condition from rain to wind to extreme temperatures. Its aluminum alloy construction is designed to perform, even in inclement weather. The mic can perform in up to 95% humidity and in temperatures ranging from -4 to 158°F without compromising sound quality.

Broadcast-Quality Sound

Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern with low off-axis rejection, the S-Mic 3 delivers consistent sound quality in both dialog and ambient recording applications. It has a low noise floor of 12 dBA and an anti-RF interference build, allowing it to maintain less background noise, even with significant gain boosts. Regardless, its high-sensitivity design prevents the need to adjust your gain drastically. A 130 dB SPL rating prevents sudden spikes in noise from distorting your audio.

Phantom Powered

Featuring a balanced 3-pin XLR output and support for 24 or 48V phantom powering, the S-Mic 3 is ready for use with a variety of devices such as multitrack field recorders, handheld audio recorders, camera-mount mixer adapters, and XLR-equipped cinema cameras.

Ideal for Boompole Mounting

An included mic clip allows you to place the S-Mic 3 onto a boompole of your choice. Weighing just 2.8 ounces, the S-Mic's lightweight design makes it much more manageable on long shoot days. Secure the foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.
