The SANKEN CMS-50 : COMPACT MS STEREO SHOTGUN MIC is a compact, stereo condenser shotgun microphone. It features an M-S (Mid-Side) configuration, which makes it possible to adjust the stereo width from mono to stereo at the mixer or in post-production. The shotgun includes two outputs, a Cardioid and Figure-8, which can be fed into the mixer for width adjustments. The microphone can be mounted onto a separately available shock mount or a camera without interfering with a short lens. Additional features include a 60 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, an HPF switch, and a 5-pin XLR connector. The microphone ships with a foam windscreen and a vinyl case.
