With its lightweight yet feature-rich design the AT8024 Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone offers a simple powerful solution for capturing high-resolution audio for video. Selectable line-cardioid mono and internally matrixed mid-side stereo modes provide the flexibility to focus the recording on a single sound source or to widen the field for outstanding sonic realism. In either mode the AT8024 delivers audio that is dramatically better than that supplied by the camera s internal microphone. The AT8024 camera-mount microphone also comes equipped with a three-position adjustable attenuator (-20 dB -10 dB 0 dB) to capture even soft and very loud sound passages without distortion. A switchable low-frequency roll-off reduces pickup of undesired ambient noise room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations. The microphone is powered by a single AA battery for optimal performance with high max SPL and features an integral camera shoe mount that attaches quickly to DSLRs and shoe-equipped camcorders.
