With the Sound Shark Professional Equalized XLR Kit, you can elevate your audio recording experience to a professional level. This comprehensive kit includes a Sound Shark parabolic collector, a custom omni-directional XLR lapel microphone, a high-performance Beachtek DXA-MICRO PRO preamplifier, and a wind cover, all designed to work seamlessly together for superior audio capture.
The Sound Shark parabolic collector transforms your omni-directional lapel microphone into a long-range audio capturing device, capable of gathering sound from distances of 30 feet or more. This innovative feature makes it an ideal choice for recording live events or capturing sound effects in film or video production.
The included wind cover minimizes wind noise when recording in high wind conditions while maintaining acoustic transparency. It fits perfectly over the Sound Shark dish and frame, providing an additional layer of protection to your lapel microphone, ensuring clear, high-quality audio even in challenging outdoor environments.
The custom omni-directional XLR lapel microphone, built by Countryman Associates, is a water-resistant, miniature condenser microphone with an XLR connector. Inside the connector is an electronic circuit that equalizes the output of the microphone to match the acoustic characteristics of the Sound Shark, providing a deeper, more natural sound from our parabolic microphones. This microphone requires Phantom power (9 V to 48 V) to operate.
The Beachtek DXA-MICRO PRO preamplifier is a two-channel active adapter with powerful low-noise preamplifiers, level controls, headphone monitoring, phantom power, and plug-in power. It features one balanced XLR input, two mono, and one stereo mini-jack inputs. This compact unit can be mounted under or over the camera, and it works to raise microphone signal levels to usable line level while minimizing the amplification done by your camera. This significantly reduces ambient noise, especially in quiet environments, and allows you to listen to your audio if your camera does not have a headphone jack.
The Sound Shark Professional Equalized XLR Kit is a versatile and comprehensive solution for high-quality audio recording, suitable for both professional videographers and audio enthusiasts.
