The JVC MV-P615U is a high sensitivity electret condenser microphone designed for use with compatible JVC color video cameras. The microphone features a unidirectional pick up pattern that provides a focused pick up range while providing maximum rejection of ambiance and noise located at the off-axis sections of the microphone. The result makes the microphone suitable for capturing signal in noisy or highly ambient environments. The MV-P615 features a balanced 3-pin XLR connection and requires 48V phantom power to operate. The frequency response favors signals at the mid-range, making it most responsive to vocal signals.
