Camera microphone

Stereo microphone MKE 440, uses two short shotgun microphones in a single configuration called "V-stereo". It ensures the capture sound for video noise while rejecting off-axis visual field of the camera.

When miking for video, the choice of micro
element is often underestimated.
microphones integrated the cameras are not up to the
high resolution videos. They pick up sound from all directions
and the beep is
clear that when the source is close to the camera. As a result
sound garbled and unintelligible speech to normal distances
camera.
To increase intelligibility, a directional shotgun microphone
would be a good solution - it picks up sound
corresponding to the field of the camera and remove the
ambient noise. But a shotgun microphone offers only
mono signal which limits the sound image. To return the
dimensional character of the sensations associated with the image
sound, stereo microphone is required. But
most microphones stereo XY, because of their wide area coverage
often pick up unwanted sounds
from the back and sides of the camera. The MKE 440 showcases its video images while rejecting
noises outside the axis of the visual field of the camera. You get the best of both worlds: the stereo without the side effects
!
order to protect the microphone against wind and turbulence caused by fast movement, MKE
440 has two superposed metal grids. This guarantees a full audio bandwidth unlike studding windscreen
foam which attenuate the high frequencies.
To adapt to the sensitivity of the audio input of the camera, we control the sound level using a command
three levels. A high-pass filter attenuates wind noise and handling. The power of the microphone is ensured
by a battery and the signal output by a coiled cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack connector.
