The capsule measures 0.2" in diameter and is resistant to moisture which allows for placement in hair and on bare skin. In addition, its omnidirectional polar pattern minimizes handling noise, wind noise and plosives (popping).

A wide variety of colors and connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version is black and features a Mini 1/8" (3.5mm) Locking for Sony wireless transmitters.

      I use it for ENG field production.
      I like it very much because the microphone has tiny little head which is easy to hide not visible and light weight. It comes with solid strong cable that is not ease to break.
