The Vidpro XM-88 is a battery-/phantom-powered long shotgun microphone with a complete bundle of accessories designed for indoor and outdoor recording with HDSLRs, camcorders, field recorders, handheld recorders, and more. The supercardioid/cardioid polar pattern yields enhanced off-axis signal rejection and focused frontal pickup while the 100 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response provides tonality tailored for intelligible voice reproduction.

The XM-88 includes an adjustable shockmount, a stand mount, and thread adapters to accommodate mounting to a mic stand, boompole, tripod, or camera shoe. It also includes a furry windshield for outdoor shoots, a foam windscreen for indoor recording, and a cushioned hand grip for convenient handheld operation.

With its ability to be operated via phantom power or a single AA battery (included), the XM-88 delivers the necessary versatility to work with devices ranging from compact cameras to dedicated field mixers. Thanks to the supplied cables and jack adapter, the mic's XLR output can be connected to devices equipped with XLR, 3.5mm, or 1/4" inputs. The foam-padded hardshell case enables safe and easy transport between gigs.
