The Senal MC24-ES is a phantom-powered short shotgun microphone that delivers broadcast-quality sound in the studio or on location. It maximizes the rejection of sound coming from the sides and rear of the mic and can be used as a directional microphone to capture full, rich, natural-sounding audio for speech and dialog.

Thoughtfully designed and engineered for demanding video productions, ENG, and broadcast applications, the MC24-ES delivers quality sound, and its rugged brass frame ensures it is capable of withstanding the rigors of recording in the field or on the go.

The microphone features a high-grade condenser transducer that captures detailed and accurate sound. It has a broad frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz and delivers clear sound reproduction with full lows, present mids, and crisp highs. There is a selectable high-pass filter at 180 Hz that minimizes unwanted noise and rumble.

Furthermore, the microphone runs on 48V phantom power which is available from most professional video cameras, mixing boards, or recording devices. The mic is suitable for mounting on a boompole, a mic stand, or a camera, and includes a foam windscreen, a mic clip, and a 5/8" (mic stand thread) to 3/8" (boompole thread) adapter.

The microphone is covered with a matte-black rubberized coating that reduces handling noise and ensures trouble-free recordings when being operated. The finish also rejects unwanted light reflections. It is built with a gold-plated XLR connector and comes in a leatherette pouch.

Q: 1. Would this work with a canon c200?

A: This will work with the XLR inputs on the C200.

Q: 2. Does the mic fit on the Sony NX100 attachment without an adapter?

A: The Sony ECM-VG1 will fit into the microphone clamp of the NX-100 using the included microphone spacer.

Q: 3. Does this come with a shock mount? It's listed as a free item that comes with the set, but it's NOT listed on the in the box tab.

A: Mine did

Q: 4. question to the audio experts out there. I noticed a big price difference. So is the NTG3 better than the NTG4+?

A: Well they're different in many ways. The NTG3 requires Phantom power to work, the noise floor is less and it sounds cleaner. The NTG4+ can work with the internal battery, which lasts a lot and it is really impressive, that also helps cause your recorder battery will last more. But the NTG4 requires more gain from the preamp so it can get a bit noisier. So, yes the Ntg 3 sounds better, but I would say you have to think what could work better with the gear you already have and the type of work you'll do.

Q: 5. Is this microphone compatible with a Sony a7 camera?

A: You would need an XLR to mini mic cable for compatibility with the Sony A7.

Q: 6. Will this work with the fx6 top handle without having to add an adapter to the shotgun mount?

A: You can use Sanken O-Rings (B&H # SAROCS) to be able to fit the ECM-VG1 securely into the shotgun mic holder on the Sony FX6.

Q: 7. dose it take batteries?

A: No it does not use batteries. it is phantom powered by the host device.

Q: 8. this mic won't fit into the cradle on my Sony FS7, it seems too slim for the holder, is there a solution for this, i thought the mic would be normal width?

A: I had the same problem, unfortunately the FS7 is designed for much thicker microphones. NTG3 is fairly thin microphone and requires some sort size converter to work with the FS7. You have two options, first you can order a part from sony: part number 317988201 , which is a rubber sleeve that goes over your microphone to increase its diameter. Sony sells these for $11 a piece. If you search any of the online stores you will find these going for as high as $40 for the same part, so directly from Sony is the way to go. However these are so thin you need two of them to get the right thickness, stack inside each other. A second option is to go to home depot and buy a 6 x6 rubber sheet, I think they sell them in the hardware aisle for $4.57. Cut two 2 x 6 strips and tightly roll them around the microphone. The result is about the same either way, microphone will now be secure in the FS7 holder.

Q: 9. Can I plug the NTG3 directly into the canon 5d Mark iv?

A: No. The NTG3 requires phantom power which the camera does not provide so you will need to use an adapter that will power the mic. The Beachtek DXA-MICRO-PRO (B&H # BEDXAMICROP) will supply phantom power and also has a high quality preamp built in. Many recorders and mixers will also supply phantom power.

Q: 10. Does it come with a short xlr cable for camcorder use? I does not seem so, since nothing is said about it in in the box section. But I have seen in other stores - including Sony - that it comes with it. Thanks for your help!

A: The kit comes with an XLR, the mic by itself does not
