The microphone's cardioid polar pattern rejects sound behind the mic to reduce the pickup of ambient background noise. Additionally, its high sensitivity and anti-noise circuit board help the mic deliver a strong signal.

Use the MIC09's attached coiled cable to connect its main output to your camera's 3.5mm mic input. A dedicated 3.5mm output is also provided for convenient headphone monitoring without having to disconnect the main output.

Two knobs on the rear of the mic offer variable adjustment of the gain (0 to +20 dB) and low-cut filter. The gain control aids in optimizing your recording level while the low-cut filter can attenuate problematic bass buildup.

An internal battery powers the MIC09 for up to five hours. It can be recharged via USB in approximately three hours.

The integrated shockmount not only reduces camera handling noise and vibration, but it also provides easy mounting of the mic on a cold shoe or tripod.
