Atomos expands audio with unique shotgun mic

Atomos continues to expanding its creator ecosystem with the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, a compact yet powerful wireless and wired shotgun microphone. It works with cameras or recording devices.

The dual-mode design operates wirelessly over 2.4GHz or via a direct USB-C digital audio connection with the Atomos’ locking USB-C connector, ensuring a secure, professional-grade link to cameras, monitors and computers.

It has a high quality 48kHz/24-bit super cardioid design to isolates voices, even in noisy environments.

Internal power is rechargeable

Unusually for a shotgun mic, it has an internal, USB-C rechargeable battery, capable of powering the device for around 7-8 hours in wireless mode and up to 50 hours in wired mode. The mic has analog and digital outputs, and the USB-C output is perfect for content creators who want to connect the mic directly to a computer, for podcasts or live streaming.

The microphone incorporates a 75Hz low-cut filter and a 150Hz high-cut filter to minimize unwanted noise, a high frequency boost to improve clarity and manual gain control for precise adjustments. The integrated OLED screen provides real-time monitoring. The mic is supplied with a 2.4GHz receiver. Latency is less than 20ms and the working range is up to 100m with line of sight. It costs $249 but no UK price has yet been set.
