The Sanken CS-1e Short Shotgun Microphone is a professional microphone specifically designed for boompole and video camera mounted applications alike. The CS-1e features a short, lightweight design that remains hidden from video camera frames, yet comfortable to operate while mounted onto a boompole. In addition to its convenient size, the CS-1e's DC biased condenser capsule and output electronics yield uncanny directivity and long range, greatly minimizing off-axis noise and feedback. Its extended reach and improved low-frequency response deliver the range, noise rejection and sound quality ideal for professional broadcast applications, video audio capturing, film and more.
