Its switchable cardioid\/hypercardioid pattern (controlled by a 3-way on\/off switch) provides focused pickup with excellent off-axis rejection, ideal for isolating subjects in noisy environments like interviews, vlogs, film shoots, or ambient capture. The shorter 297mm interference tube offers good reach and narrow directivity in a more portable form factor compared to longer models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePowered by a single AA battery (no phantom needed), it features an integral balanced XLRM connector for straightforward connection to cameras, recorders, or mixers.
