Shure SM89 Shotgun Condenser Mic

The Shure SM89 is a shotgun mic ideal for accurate distance pickup. Ideal for location film and TV production, theatre sound reinforcement, and spot news coverage

The SM89 is a highly directional condenser shotgun microphone with distant pickup characteristics suitable for on-location film and television production, theatre sound reinforcement, spot news coverage, or wildlife recording. The SM89 discriminates at a distance in favour of desired dialogue or effects and against ambient noise, even in noisy surroundings.

The on-axis frequency response of the SM89 is very smooth and extended. For clarity and speech intelligibility, a slight presence rise optimises the high-frequency response to compensate for high-frequency losses. A low-frequency roll-off minimises pickup of wind, mechanical vibration, ambient noise, and rumble without affecting voice frequencies.
