Atomos Introduces StudioSonic Shotgun Mic

Atomos is expanding its creator ecosystem with the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, a compact yet powerful wireless and wired shotgun microphone designed for filmmakers, journalists, YouTubers, and production professionals. It's the perfect match for Atomos' Ninja and Shogun monitor-recorders, as well as professional cameras and recording devices.

The dual-mode design offers the flexibility to operate wirelessly over 2.4GHz or via a direct USB-C digital audio connection with the Atomos' unique locking USB-C connector ensuring a secure, professional-grade link to cameras, monitors, and computers.

The StudioSonic Shotgun Mic combines both wireless freedom and reliable wired connectivity to cater for a diverse range of scenarios, including on-location interviews, run-and-gun shooting, field reporting, and capturing unscripted dialogue. Its high-quality 48kHz/24-bit super cardioid design isolates voices with precision, even in noisy environments.

Unusually for a shotgun mic, it has an internal, USB-C rechargeable battery, capable of powering the device for around 7-8 hours in wireless mode and up to 50 hours in wired mode. The mic has analog and digital outputs, and the USB-C output is perfect for content creators who want to connect the mic directly to a computer for podcasts or live streaming.

With StudioSonic, we're delivering a microphone that matches the mobility and precision today's content creators demand, said Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos. It brings together robust construction, flexible connectivity, and studio-quality audio, all in a smart-looking directional shotgun form factor.

The microphone incorporates a 75Hz low-cut filter and a 150Hz high-cut filter to minimize unwanted noise, a high-frequency boost to improve clarity, and manual gain control for precise adjustments. The integrated OLED screen provides real-time monitoring, giving you total confidence in your sound quality. The mic is supplied with a 2.4GHz receiver. Latency is less than 20ms, and the working range is up to 100m with line of sight and up to 20m in busy environments.

Built with a shielded, all-metal body, the mic is engineered to thrive in rugged field environments. The USB-C connection is reinforced with the same locking mechanism used across other Atomos products like the Shinobi II and Ninja Phone, providing creators with a consistent and secure workflow across audio and video.

"This is another step in our journey to broaden the Atomos ecosystem into audio, bringing the same standard of reliability and innovation we're known for in video, added Barber. You'll see even more ecosystem products coming soon.
