The EM-98MS sports an internal, USB-charged lithium-ion battery that provides long-lasting performance, and an auto on/off function makes sure your mic turns on and off with your devices automatically. Onboard high-pass and -10 dB pad switches allows for further rumble elimination and distortion protection, and the mic comes with labeled cables designed to perfectly mate your microphone with any camera audio input or mobile smart device, making it the ideal companion to any on-the-go user.

Capture the Subject, Not the Environment
Not only do shotgun microphones sound perfect for video, dialogue, and capturing specific sounds, they do it while rejecting most other noises. This is thanks to the long shape of the microphone that works to cancel out sound from the sides. This is especially helpful when shooting video outdoors where ambient noise can really try to intrude on your recording. The physical design, combined with the onboard high-pass filters for eliminating rumble and included windscreens ensure clean, transparent audio for truly professional videos.

Powerful Built-In Controls
The EM-95MS features a number of useful controls and indicators to let you get the most out of your shotgun microphone. Whether recording indoors or outdoors, this shotgun mic can tackle numerous shooting and recording scenarios with ease.
Fully variable gain allows for precise level control
75 / 150 Hz high-pass filter switch to eliminate low-frequency rumble
-10 dB pad for overdrive protection and clean audio to work with in post
Auto on/off automatically turns the mic on and off with your device

Flexible Mounting
This microphone not only comes with an integrated cold shoe shockmount, allowing you to attach your shotgun directly to a camera with minimal vibrations or handling noise, but it can also be mounted onto 3/8" tripod screws. Separate foam and furry windscreens are also provided for protecting your mic from wind during indoor and outdoor shooting respectively, and a convenient included carry case allows you to easily transport your mic and all of it's accessories in one container.
