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.
