Sony F112 ENG Microphone
Key Features
  • For ENG and Interviews
  • Handheld Dynamic Microphone
  • Omnidirectional for 360° Pickup
  • Flat Frequency Response: 60 Hz to 17 kHz
The Sony F112 is a professional, omnidirectional microphone designed for Electronic New Gathering (ENG) applications. The F112's frequency response and sensitivity are optimized for accurate reproduction of vocals, accentuating the range that enhances clarity while reducing residual noise. The omnidirectional pattern results in minimal noise from wind, with even signal reproduction at the sides and direct sections of the capsule. This is particularly useful while vying for the best possible microphone placement in awkward, crowded environments. The extra-long shaft allows plenty of room for radio and TV flags, and the rugged enclosure is durable enough to withstand frequent use on location.

Sony F112 Reviews

Died when I needed it

By Pedro
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2020-01-19

After about 6 months it randomly died when I needed it most at work before an interview. When it worked it was perfect. No drops, no bumps, not even scratches. Took care of it. After testing it I found it to be maybe something with the xlr prongs. It is such a good microphone besides that, that I am going to buy another one. I will return it if this happens again. As for broken one I am going to see if I can get it fixed. Maybe this was a dud but like I said, worked perfect sound wise. Great for ENG

Wanna look like Bob Barker?

I dind't actually need this mic - it came with a wireless ENG mic package. That said, I'm shocked at how good it is. I've used it in a test video with my wife and daughter just to see if I was given a dud or something more. Really solid quality. Looks appropriate for news style shooting, street interviews, game show host stylilng. B&H also included a cube to put station ID on the base of the mic which makes it look the part.

question

Does this have built in isolation to eliminate handling noise?
Asked by: Steve
Yes it does. All interview microphones have some type of shock mount in the handle to reduce handling noise when out in the field. Some are better than others.
