After meticulous design and innovation, the Sound Shark Professional Kit emerges as a quintessential audio recording solution for professionals seeking durable, high-quality, and versatile equipment. This comprehensive kit includes the innovative Sound Shark parabolic collector, which transforms your omnidirectional lapel microphone into a powerful long-range device, capable of capturing clear audio from distances exceeding 30 feet. Ideal for a variety of settings, the Sound Shark's parabolic design is perfect for professionals who require precision in audio capture without the constraints of proximity.
The kit also features a stylish wind cover, meticulously engineered to minimize wind noise during recordings in challenging outdoor conditions, while maintaining acoustic transparency. This ensures that your recordings are protected from the elements, delivering crisp and clean audio even when the wind picks up.
At the heart of the kit lies a professional-grade omni-directional lapel microphone, custom-built by Microphone Madness, known for their high-quality audio equipment. This premium microphone boasts a 3.5mm TRS connector compatible with most cameras and digital recorders, providing dual mono signals to ensure your stereo recording device receives consistent audio from both channels. The microphone is optimized for devices that supply a bias voltage of 1 to 9 volts D.C., commonly referred to as plug-in-power.
To complement the microphone, the Sound Shark Professional Kit includes the Beachtek DXA-MICRO PRO preamplifier, a high-gain, low-noise device that elevates your audio recording capabilities. With both 3.5mm and XLR microphone jacks, this preamplifier offers versatility and is equipped to supply both plug-in-power and phantom power, catering to nearly any microphone you choose to use. The preamp's dual-channel design comes with independent output level controls, allowing for precise adjustments and optimal recording quality. By using this external preamplifier, you can significantly reduce ambient noise and hiss, particularly in quiet environments, enhancing the clarity of your recordings.
For those using cameras without a headphone jack, the Beachtek preamp provides a monitoring solution, enabling you to listen to your audio in real-time. Its compact design allows for convenient mounting under or over your camera, ensuring it doesn't impede your filming process.
Whether you're recording interviews, capturing wildlife sounds, or working on a film set, the Sound Shark Professional Kit stands out as a professional, innovative, and reliable choice for capturing superior audio quality. With its combination of a parabolic collector, wind cover, premium microphone, and advanced preamplifier, this kit is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional audio recording.
