Rycote Hyper Cardioid Shotgun Microphone 22cm, Long Directional Mono Mic 3 Pin XLR Connection

The Rycote HC-22 is a hypercardioid shotgun microphone designed for a wide range of applications in cinema, TV, ENG, live broadcast, sound design, studio and field recording.

The HC-22 combines a highly directional polar pattern with extremely low self-noise. This provides solid off-axis rejection and isolation with a precise sound quality to match, making the HC-22 a great all around mic for recording environments which may require a more focused recording approach.
