The APEX 176 Shotgun Microphone is a super-cardioid condenser mic ideal for sound reinforcement applications where the microphone needs to have a tight pick-up pattern, but cannot be placed close to the source.
The APEX 176 Shotgun Microphone is most commonly used on sound-stages, for stage plays, for broadcast or for electronic newsgathering. This super-cardioid shotgun mic will run on either phantom or battery power.
The APEX 176 is a true low impedance microphone designed to connect to low impedance mixer or recording device. If you are connecting to any camera with high impedance inputs, a line transformer should be used for best results.
The APEX 176 has a 70Hz low frequency roll-off switch on the microphone body. It is generally a good idea to leave the switch in ‘flat’ or no-roll off mode where ever possible; however in some applications using the roll-off to remove low frequency interference and increase intelligibility (especially when recording voices) may be required.
