Shotgun

Shotgun microphones are highly directional microphones designed to capture sound from a specific source while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. They are commonly used in film, television, broadcast, and location recording where isolating dialogue or a sound source is essential, even in noisy environments.

Using an interference tube design, shotgun mics deliver a tight pickup pattern with strong focus and clarity over distance. This makes them ideal for boom operation, on-camera use, and outdoor recording, where placing a microphone close to the subject is not always possible while still maintaining clear, natural audio.
