The Senal MC24-EL is a battery-/phantom-powered long 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-EL 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, and runs on a single AA battery (over 400 hours) for those DSLRs, computers, and other devices where phantom power is not available. 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.

Senal's MC24-EL shotgun microphone is designed for video production and broadcast applications. Its length is well suited for ENG, outdoor recording, and camera mounting.

A hypercardioid polar pattern provides front-facing directivity and off-axis sound rejection. It is suitable when recording speech or dialog in noisy environments such as a convention floor or sporting event.

The MC24-EL runs on 48V phantom power supplied by most professional video cameras, mixing boards, or recording devices. It can also be powered by one AA battery over 400 hours, which is ideal for recording to DSLR cameras, computers, and other devices that don't offer phantom power.

The durable and solid construction ensures the microphone is capable of withstanding the rigors of recording in the field or on the go.

The rubberized coating minimizes handling noise.

The matte finish doesn't reflect light when shooting in the studio.

The selectable high-pass filter rolls off unwanted low-frequency noise and rumble at 180 Hz and minimizes room noise when recording in environments with fans, air conditioners, blowers, or overhead lights.

The gold-plated XLR connector resists corrosion and ensures excellent signal transfer.

A foam windshield is included to minimize wind noise and to protect the microphone from dust and debris. A mic clip is included for boompole or mic stand mounting.

Q: 4. Does this work well with video booths? Like not picking up a lot of the DJ music and crowd talking? I just want to make sure the video recorded you can hear the people talking and making the video.

A: that's kind of a tough question. I love my NTg2 mic, it works much better than I thought using a windscreen and as well as being directional to block out some noise. If you are in a noisy environment why not double up on this along with a lab mic for best results?

Q: 5. Is this good for a boom pole?

A: Yes, it is. It is recommended to use a shock mount to reduce handling noise.

Q: 6. How many dB is the front-to-back response?

A: The manufacturer has not provided this information.

Q: 7. Can you use the NTG2 as a handheld microphone (e.g. for interviews)?

A: You can though Id recommend against it as it is very sensitive and will likely pick up handling noise if hand-held. It is best used on a shockmount or other stable mounting platform. Id recommend looking for omnidirectional or lav mics for interviews! Hope this helps!

Q: 8. So with my black magic camera as long as i have the battery in the mic i won't need phantom power correct?

A: Yes, this is correct. It will run out quite quickly. Between 4-6 hours.

Q: 9. What wind protection can I use with this?

A: You can find a selection of compatible windshields listed under the "Accessories" tab on the item page. Click on the tab for "Wind Protection" and you'll see items such as the Auray WSS-2018 Professional Windshield for Shotgun Microphones - 18cm (B&H # AUWSS2018), Rycote Standard Hole Softie Windscreen with 19-22mm Hole (B&H # RYS18M), and Rycote 18cm Super-Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics - Standard Hole (B&H # RYSS18M).

Q: 10. Will I have any issues using this with the Tascam 70D?

A: Nope. This has worked great for me with this combo. If you're using phantom power though, the 70D is a battery hog so I also use an external USB battery to power the 70D with phantom running the mic. I haven't tried the battery in the mic yet to compare results.
