NRG SA-568 Dual-Mode Shotgun Microphone with Accessory Kit.

The Schriber Acoustic SA-568 is a versatile professional dual-mode electret-condenser microphone. The microphone's design allows it to be used with confidence in diverse miking applications. The SA-568 features two user-selectable polar patterns. The Hypercardioid "Tele" setting gives a long narrow pattern which is ideal for isolating sounds at a distance such as at weddings and speeches. The cardioid setting yields a wider pattern well-suited to close-range pickup of larger groups or for interview work. While commonly mounted on a stand, camera or pole the SA-568 can be hand-held with excellent results. The back electret-condenser element is powered internally by a single 1.5v AA battery.

In addition to its excellent electrical characteristics the Schriber Acoustic SA-568 also incorporates noteworthy physical features which are designed to ensure years of reliable service. The beautifully finished housing is ruggedly constructed from steel and finished to resist damage from accidental drops or misuse. Fine mesh is used to protect microphone openings from debris and lessen "pops" and wind noise. The internal XLR connector is gold-plated to maintain optimum signal integrity. The microphone is supplied with coiled XLR-XLR and XLR-3.5mm mini cables, as well as a mini-to-phono adapter. This allows the SA-568 to be used successfully with balanced and unbalanced devices compatible with the microp hone's output impedance. Stand and on-camera mic mounts are also provided, along with an external windscreen to supplement the internal windscreen in windy or closely miked applications. A beautiful satin-silver brushed-metal hard case with custom foam padding and a soft transport bag thoughtfully complete this impressive microphone package.
