Everything You Need
With the Vidpro XM-55 13-Piece Professional Video & Broadcast Unidirectional Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit, you can start recording right out of the box. In addition to the high-quality microphone, the kit includes long and short (on-camera) audio cables with multiple connectors to support XLR, 3.5mm mini and 6.3mm jacks for connection to your camera, camcorder or audio recorder, as well as an adjustable suspension shock mount and stand mount with thread adapters to accommodate mounting to a ⅝” mic stand, ⅜” boom pole, ¼” tripod and camera shoe. It also includes a furry wind muff for outdoor shoots, a foam wind shield for indoor recording, a cushioned hand grip for convenient handheld operation, a foam-padded carrying case for easy transport and an AA alkaline battery for power. Featuring a range of 6-10 feet, this shotgun mic is best for recording dialogue, vlogging and interviews.
High-Quality Audio
When recording vocals, many top record producers will use a dynamic microphone for up-close vocals and a heavily compressed shotgun microphone about 5 feet away. The dynamic mic not only captures part of the final sound, but is also useful for giving the artist something to focus on, keeping a fairly consistent position relative to the shotgun mic. Make sure the next time you have to record high-quality audio for your video/broadcast productions, you have the Vidpro XM-55 Shotgun Microphone Kit at your disposal. It has a narrow pickup pattern which helps prevent background noise from making it onto your recording and provides clearer voice pickup. Additionally, it has a long reach, helping tremendously when you have to record at a distance. Because the pickup patterns are long and narrow, shotgun mics can often help isolate and record sound coming from farther away. As such, having the XM-55 on hand for your next vocal session could be the goldmine you’ve been looking for!
A Unidirectional Condenser Shotgun Microphone Kit of High Caliber
Lightweight Yet Durable
Weighing a mere 3.5 ounces, the durable aluminum construction of Vidpro’s XM-55 makes it ideal for indoor and outdoor shooting. The medium-length shotgun mic is operated via the included AA alkaline battery, and comes with a wealth of accessories to deliver the necessary versatility to work with HDSLRs, camcorders, field recorders, handheld recorders, compact cameras and dedicated field mixers. To top it off, a foam-padded carrying case enables safe and easy transport between gigs.
Superb Features
Ideal for recording a group of people talking and working well in most situations for booming and voice pickup, Vidpro’s XM-55 Shotgun Microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern which yields enhanced off-axis signal attenuation and more spread out audio pickup. The 100 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response provides tonality tailored for intelligible voice reproduction and a switchable, high-pass filter helps control low-frequency issues, such as the rumbling noise resulting from traffic.
Versatile Use
Whether you’re doing a film shoot, promo video, studio recording, ambient sound capture or interview, the XM-55 is the ideal solution. The 10.8” microphone boasts a medium interference tube which yields a narrowed pickup area, plus it’s compatible with any professional or amateur camcorder, and any video-capable DSLR/HD-DSLR. Thanks to the long and short audio cables and jack adapter, the microphone’s balanced XLR 3-pin output can be connected to devices equipped with XLR, 3.5mm or ¼” inputs.
