Eikon MFC81 Shotgun Condenser Microphone
Eikon MFC81 shotgun condenser microphone with switchable cardioid and hypercardioid pattern, 48V phantom or AA battery power.
Eikon MFC81 Shotgun Condenser Microphone is a professional-grade shotgun condenser microphone with a unidirectional hypercardioid polar pattern, designed for video, film and broadcast audio capture. It combines an electrostatic transducer with a permanently polarised capsule and a lightweight, rugged build for mounting on cameras and camcorders.
Overview
The Eikon MFC81 is intended for capturing a subject's voice in demanding environments. Its extremely light and rugged construction allows it to be mounted directly onto video cameras or camcorders without adding considerable weight. The unidirectional (hypercardioid) polar pattern is designed to provide off-axis noise rejection, helping to keep the subject's voice in focus while reducing ambient background noise.
Key Features
- Permanently polarised capsule: operates without requiring an external polarisation voltage
- Switchable polar pattern: switch between cardioid and unidirectional (hypercardioid) responses to suit different recording scenarios
- Sensitivity switch: OFF, NORMAL for general shotgun use, or TELE for enhanced focus in handheld applications or at longer distances
- Dual power options: standard 48V phantom power from a mixer or interface, or a single 1.5V AA battery for location flexibility
Applications
The microphone is suited to video production, documentary filmmaking and broadcast journalism. It can be mounted on a camera for run-and-gun filming, used on a fishpole boom in a studio setting, or employed as a handheld microphone for interviews and presentations. Its robustness also makes it suitable for outdoor use, theatre applications and fixed installations on lecterns.
