SM89 Shotgun Microphone

The SM89 is a highly directional condenser shotgun microphone with distant pickup characteristics suitable for on-location film and television production, theater sound reinforcement, spot news coverage, or wildlife recording. The SM89 discriminates at a distance in favor of desired dialogue or effects and against ambient noise, even in noisy surroundings.

The on-axis frequency response of the SM89 is very smooth and extended. For clarity and speech intelligibility, a slight presence rise optimizes the high-frequency response to compensate for high-frequency losses. A low-frequency roll-off minimizes pickup of wind, mechanical vibration, ambient noise, and rumble without affecting voice frequencies.

Features

  • Designed especially for location film and TV production, theater sound reinforcement, and spot news coverage
  • Highly directional polar pattern optimized for distant pickup
  • Smooth, wide on-axis response
  • Greatly suppressed side pickup with minimum comb-filter effects
  • Two low-cut frequencies, switch selectable
  • Low impedance, high sensitivity
  • Extremely low hum, noise, and RF pickup
  • Uses readily available 11 to 52 Vdc phantom supply
  • Rugged and reliable, operates over wide range of temperature and humidity
  • Extremely lightweight, can be suspended on fishpole for long periods of time without operator fatigue
  • Aircraft-grade materials used throughout
  • Supplied with foam windscreen and strong luggage-grade carrying case
