Essential Versatility for All Creators

This arrangement is most sensitive to audio directly in front while also capturing a clean stereo image. The SSH-6e Stereo Shotgun Capsule includes a super-directional microphone to pick up sound in the center, as well as a bidirectional side mic to pick up sounds from the left and right. The mid-side stereo image is adjustable from mono to ultra-wide stereo pickup. You can capture dialogue with the center mic, and then mix in the desired amount of environmental sound captured by the side mic. If you need more inputs, simply plug in the EXH-6e dual XLR and TRS combo capsule.
