The S-Mic 3S can withstand virtually any weather condition from rain to wind to extreme temperatures. Its aluminum alloy construction is designed to perform, even in inclement weather. The mic can perform in up to 95% humidity and in temperatures ranging from -4 to 158°F without compromising sound quality.

Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern with low off-axis rejection, the S-Mic 3S delivers consistent sound quality in both dialog and ambient recording applications. It has a low noise floor of 12 dBA and an anti-RF interference build, allowing it to maintain less background noise, even with significant gain boosts. Regardless, its high-sensitivity design prevents the need to adjust your gain drastically. A 130 dB SPL rating prevents sudden spikes in noise from distorting your audio.

Featuring a balanced 3-pin XLR output and support for 24 or 48V phantom powering, the S-Mic 3S is ready for use with a variety of devices such as multitrack field recorders, handheld audio recorders, camera-mount mixer adapters, and XLR-equipped cinema cameras.

An included mic clip allows you to place the S-Mic 3S onto a boompole of your choice. Weighing just 1.6 ounces, the microphone's lightweight design makes it much more manageable on long shoot days. Secure the foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners.
