• RF Rejection

The microphone features radio-frequency (RF) interference properties that avoid annoying noise and interference caused by nearby RF sources such as radio antennas, WIFI networks, internet devices, power lines, etc.

• Withstands Adverse Conditions

The microphone is constructed to withstand adverse weather conditions for more stable use outdoors.

• Supercardioid Line+Gradient Pickup

The supercardioid, shotgun characteristics provide excellent off-axis rejection, focused pickup and longer range.

• Internally coiled XLR cable and connection at the base

• The KE-89CC features a bottom-mounted 3-pin XLR connection

• Designed to fit in any standard equipment case, for ENG, EFP and DV location production work

• Jam-resistant collar coupling

• Unique pole top design with cable retention slots and replaceable stailess steel mounting stud

• Ergonomic Grip

Better manage your boompole or shockmount microphone setup with this foam-covered pistol-style grip.

• Attachment

Use the male and female 3/8" threaded ends to attach the grip to your equipment.

• Balanced XLR Connectors (M/F)

At each end, XLR connectors either have three pins (M) or sockets (F) within a locking metal shell. They are commonly used in professional audio applications to connect microphones, mixers, recording equipment and other gear.
On typical XLR components, pin 1 is the + signal line, pin 2 is the - signal line and pin 3 is the ground/shield. This pin combination facilitates top-quality, low-noise, balanced audio, even across long-distance cable runs.

• Phantom Power

XLR cables are also capable of carrying DC "phantom power" to microphones on both the plus and minus signal lines. Shotgun and lavaliere microphones typically use phantom power or must use on-board batteries.

• Shielded Ground

The 3rd pin is connected to a copper-wound shield. Wrapped around the other two wires, this shield provides both an interference-blocking barrier and a grounded connection.
