FAQs:
What is the advantage of a hypercardioid polar pattern in the Rycote HC-15 Shotgun Microphone?
A hypercardioid polar pattern in a microphone offers several advantages in specific recording or live sound situations. Key benefits include a more pronounced directionality, making it highly sensitive to sound coming from the front while increasing sound rejection from the sides and rear.
While hypercardioid microphones offer strong rejection at the sides and rear, they often maintain some degree of sensitivity to sound directly behind the microphone. This can be advantageous in capturing a natural ambient sound while isolating the primary sound source.
What kind of connector does the Rycote HC-15 Shotgun Microphone use?
The Rycote HC-15 Shotgun Microphone uses a XLR-3M connection to deliver the best sound quality through a strong and formidable connector. XLR connectors are a staple of the professional audio industry. Many high-quality microphones, preamps, audio interfaces, and other audio devices utilise XLR connectors, perfect for universal compatibility.
How compact is the HC-15 Shotgun Microphone?
The microphone itself is ultra-lightweight and user-friendly at just 90g. The ‘15’ in HC-15 also refers to its length of just 15cm. These compact dimensions make the HC-15 Shotgun Microphone a perfect choice for professionals wanting high-quality equipment without the excess bulk.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
