Bundled with a furry windshield, a foam windscreen, and a short XLR cable, the BOYA BY-BM6040 short shotgun microphone offers a simple and affordable shotgun mic solution for videographers, indie filmmakers, and boom operators on a budget. Whether shooting indoors or outside, the BY-BM6040's cardioid polar pattern is designed to maximize rejection behind the mic.
A built-in 150 Hz high-pass filter attenuates rumble and low-frequency handling noise, so the resulting frequency response provides a sound quality that is tailored for clear voice capture. Wind noise can be effectively reduced using the supplied windshield and windscreen.
With no controls to configure and no batteries to swap or charge, the BY-BM6040 microphone ensures ease of use and reliable operation. It runs on 12 to 48 VDC phantom power and utilizes a balanced XLR output for connectivity.
