Atomos has announced the launch of the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, which includes a full broadcast feature set and a 48kHz/24-bit super cardioid design
The microphone’s dual-mode design means it can operate wirelessly over 2.4GHz or via a direct USB-C digital audio connection with the Atomos’ locking USB-C connector.
The mic can be used for on-location interviews, run-and-gun shooting, field reporting, and capturing unscripted dialogue, said Atomos.
It incorporates a 75Hz low-cut filter and a 150Hz high-cut filter to minimise unwanted noise, a high frequency boost to improve clarity and manual gain control for precise adjustments, added the company.
The integrated OLED screen provides real-time monitoring, while the mic is supplied with a 2.4GHz receiver. Latency is less than 20ms and the working range is up to 100m with line of sight and up to 20m in busy environments, said Atomos.
Key features include:
- Dual Wireless/Wired Modes: instantly switch between wireless (2.4GHz) and wired (USB-C or 3.5mm analogue) with a one-touch toggle
- Broadcast-grade Audio: super cardioid condenser capsule with 48kHz/24-bit resolution delivers focused, isolated vocal capture – even in noisy environments
- Advanced Filtering: built-in 75Hz and 150Hz low-cut filters, high-frequency boost, and manual gain control
- OLED Status Display: real-time visual feedback for gain levels, filter modes, battery status, and more
- Exceptional Battery Life: up to 8 hours in wireless mode, and up to 50 hours wired
- Ultra-low Latency: <20ms with wireless range up to 100 metres (line of sight)
“With StudioSonic, we’re delivering a microphone that matches the mobility and precision today’s content creators demand,” said Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos. “It brings together robust construction, flexible connectivity, and studio-quality audio, all in a smart-looking directional shotgun form factor.”
