EAN: 847628009837

Upgrade the sound quality of your recording rig with the Polsen SCL-1080, a shotgun microphone designed to capture intelligible audio naturally and clearly to your DSLR camera, camcorder, or portable recorder. With selectable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, the SCL-1080 offers the ability to vary its focus and off-axis noise rejection for optimal performance whether you re recording interviews, dialogue, single subjects, or outdoor events.

Thanks to the supplied mic clips, you can easily attach the mic to a boompole, mic stand, tripod, or camera shoe. You can even use the boompole clip for handheld operation, perfect for recording sound effects and multi-subject interviews. Both 3.5mm cables (one straight and one coiled) provided with the SCL-1080 utilize locking connectors to prevent accidental disconnection at the mic. A single AA battery will power the mic for hours, so you don t have to worry about phantom power or taking time to recharge batteries.

For Interviews, Dialogue, and Events

Whether you re recording dialogue in a studio or an interview at a crowded event like a trade show, the SCL-1080 will capture accurate and nuanced audio to a DSLR camera, camcorder, or portable recorder. This microphone is also great for run-and-gun productions and documentaries where you don t have a lot of time to set up, but need crisp and accurate audio to accompany your picture.

Normal and Tele Modes

The microphone gives the option to select a cardioid (normal) or supercardioid (tele) polar pattern. Selecting the cardioid pattern lets you record subjects up close while rejecting extraneous sound that s coming from off-camera. The supercardioid mode is great for capturing speech or dialogue at a distance, because it focuses on the sound directly in front of it while rejecting off-axis sound that can detract from the voices.

Mic Clip for Shoe or Tripod Mounting

You can mount the SCL-1080 directly onto your camera s hot or cold shoe. The shoe-mount mic clip comes with an industry-standard 1/4 -20 socket for compatibility with most tripods, light stands, and even selfie sticks.

Mic Clip for Mic Stand, Boompole, or Handheld Options

Another mic clip features a 5/8 -27 socket for mounting the SCL-1080 onto a mic stand. Use the supplied reducer bushing to mount the microphone onto a 3/8 -16 boompole stud. The mic clip also doubles as a hand grip when you need to move the mic close to your subject while staying out of the shot.

3.5mm Locking Audio Connection

The SCL-1080 s 3.5mm audio connection plugs into your DSLR s audio input jack to record live audio directly into your camera. The microphone s locking 3.5mm output connector will prevent the cable from disconnecting at the microphone when there s strain or an accidental tug on the cable.

Cabling Options

The microphone comes with two detachable 3.5mm cables. The coiled cable stretches from 1 to 5 in length, which is perfect for mounting the microphone close to the camera. Swap it for the 25 straight cable, which will give you plenty of length for boompole operation.

Battery Powered

One AA battery (available separately) is all you need to power the microphone for many hours of uninterrupted recording. You won t need a camera or recorder that offers phantom power. Just install the battery, and you re ready to go to work.

Windscreen Reduces Wind Noise

The SCL-1080 includes a foam windscreen to minimize unwanted wind noise from light breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For greater reduction of wind noise in outdoor environments, consider a furry windshield (available separately).
