About Saramonic SoundBird T3L

With the Saramonic SoundBird T3L, experience the pinnacle of audio precision and professional recording capabilities. This long shotgun microphone extends the advanced technology and superior sound quality of the SoundBird T3 into a lengthier form, offering enhanced directionality and off-axis sound rejection. Designed for broadcast-quality audio capture, the SoundBird T3L is a top-tier choice for professionals in videography and filmmaking who demand clarity and detail in their audio recordings.

Crafted with an all-brass construction, the SoundBird T3L not only boasts remarkable durability but also effectively minimizes radio frequency interference, ensuring a pure sound experience. The microphone's extended interference tube coupled with ultra-low noise circuitry guarantees authentic, natural sound reproduction, whether capturing on-axis dialogue or ambient audio in diverse environments.

The gold-plated XLR output of the SoundBird T3L ensures optimal signal transfer and resistance to corrosion, while the option to power the microphone with +48 volts Phantom Power or its internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery - which offers an impressive 150-hour life - provides versatility and convenience for extended recording sessions. Measuring at 15.5 inches, the SoundBird T3L is perfectly sized for boom pole or stand use, yet remains suitable for camera mounting in professional film and television production settings.

Equipped with a suite of customizable features and controls, the SoundBird T3L allows you to fine-tune your audio capture to perfection. Select from two High-Pass Filters (75 and 150Hz) to eliminate low-frequency distractions such as HVAC rumble, footsteps, and traffic noise. The +6dB High-Frequency Boost enhances vocal clarity, particularly when using wind protection, and the -10dB Pad ensures loud sounds are captured without distortion. The illuminated buttons provide easy visibility of settings, and the intuitive On/Off button changes color to indicate the power source. Additionally, a quick double press reveals the remaining battery life of the Li-Ion battery, and your settings are preserved for immediate use upon reactivation.

The SoundBird T3L comes with an extensive array of essential accessories, eliminating the need for separate purchases. Included are the SR-SMC3 premium shock mount with replacement bands and the SR-SMC1 mic clip stand mount, offering versatile mounting options for boom poles, stands, or camera shoe mounts. The package also contains a 1.9-foot (60cm) XLR output cable, a foam windscreen for noise reduction, and a Micro-USB charging cable, ensuring you are fully equipped to capture exceptional sound quality for your productions right from the start.
