FAQ

What type of recording environments is the Deity S-Mic 2 suitable for?

The Deity S-Mic 2 is suitable for a variety of recording environments, including noisy settings or outdoors, thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the sound source while minimizing background noise.

Can the Deity S-Mic 2 be used in wet or humid conditions?

Yes, the S-Mic 2 is designed with weather-resistant features, including a clear epoxy coating that allows it to perform well in humid environments and withstand use in light rain.

Is the Deity S-Mic 2 compatible with all cameras and recorders?

What does the supercardioid pickup pattern mean for audio recording?

A supercardioid pickup pattern means the microphone is highly directional and captures sound from the front while reducing pickup from the sides and rear, ideal for isolating the subject's audio from ambient noise.

What accessories are included with the Deity S-Mic 2?

The Deity S-Mic 2 comes with a waterproof, shockproof hard case for protection during storage and travel, a mic clip for mounting, and a foam windscreen to reduce wind noise.

Reliable construction. Works when other mics would not.

The Brass body is no joke. I could probably drive a nail with this thing and then record the sound of a butterfly's wings. When I'm outdoors this is my go to mic. As with any mic, do not skimp on the wind cover when working outdoors.

Low Off-Axis Coloration.

The new S-Mic 2 has remarkably ultra low off-axis coloration. You have nothing to worry about if an audio source moves slightly in and out of axis of the S-Mic 2. Having to boom between multiple actors? Even a novice boom operator can pick up rich full sounds on a film set with this shotgun microphone.

Deity

All-Brass Body with Black Speckle Finish.

The construction of the mic body is computer machined from solid brass inside & out. No plastic is used anywhere in the construction to hold it together or mount the PCB unlike other microphones that sell for similar prices. The S-Mic 2 uses a high-end capsule, computer designed circuitry and features a gold coated PCB (printed circuit board). The PCB is also sprayed and coated with a clear epoxy which allows the microphone to perform without issues even in the most humid environments. This coating also gives the microphone a water resistance level that allows it to work in the rain without being damaged. The body of the microphone has been sprayed with a black speckle paint to give it an ultra durable finish, so it looks professional in front of clients for years of ownership and makes it less reflective on set.

Deity

Super Cardioid Pattern.

The S-Mic 2 features a super cardioid polar pattern, offering -18dB of off axis reject.

deity

Ultra Low Self Noise.
