THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN
The Polsen MVS-5 Stereo Shotgun Microphone
is a rugged, compact, and lightweight mic
designed for recording audio directly to a DSLR
camera or portable recorder. It delivers pristine
and quiet professional-quality sound and is a
vast improvement over a DSLR camera’s built-in
microphone.
This dependable microphone features two
condenser cardioid capsules arranged in an
X-Y pattern for capturing audio with realistic
stereo imaging. The microphone is powered
by a single 3 V coin battery for 36 hours of run
time with most cameras and recorders that
have a 1/8-inch audio input connector. The
MVS-5 attaches to a camera’s shoe mount or
tripod, and its all-metal construction makes it
a great addition to a camera rig for a variety
of eld and run-and-gun productions like
documentaries, music videos, sporting events,
and nature videos.
