Discover the unparalleled performance of the Sanken Audio CS-3e Mono Shotgun Microphone, a standout in the realm of professional audio equipment. This innovative microphone is renowned for its ability to maintain directivity across an impressively wide frequency range, with a particular emphasis on low frequencies. The CS-3e's unique design makes it an optimal choice for challenging applications, such as recording in close-to-ceiling positions or in proximity to noisy cameras. Despite these demanding scenarios, the CS-3e's superior side and rear rejection capabilities ensure that only the targeted dialogue is captured, minimizing ambient reverberation issues. Experience sharp, directional sound even in lower frequencies, thanks to Sanken's original design that minimizes the proximity effect. This feature allows for close-up and wide scene work with minimal changes in sound character. The CS-3e is ingeniously designed with three directional capsules arranged in a front-back array. This configuration combines the performance of a line microphone and the response of a second-order pressure gradient system in one compact unit. Measuring only 27cm (10 inches) in length, the CS-3e delivers phenomenal supercardioid directivity throughout the full frequency range. Notably, the CS-3e excels at picking up targeted frontal sound sources with exceptional clarity across a wide frequency range. Even in noisy environments or spaces with long reverberation, this microphone rejects undesired noise and sounds from the rear and sides. In the world of film and video production, live events, and Electronic News Gathering (ENG) applications, the Sanken Audio CS-3e Mono Shotgun Microphone is a reliable tool that delivers high-quality, professional audio every time.

My new Sanken CS-3e already saved a production!  It was an outdoor event & the main closeup mic got blocked, but this Sanken was able to pickup the podium presenters from a longer distance than I expected, with incredible audio!
