Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MicTrak M3 combines a lightweight, camera-mounted stereo shotgun microphone with onboard recording. Choose mono when you want a more focused pickup pattern, or stereo when you want to control the amount of ambience in the recording. It can send audio to the camera through its line output while recording 48kHz, 32-bit-float stereo BWF files. The recorder also supports four simultaneous tracks: stereo plus MS raw, without requiring input-gain adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Camera-based recording that needs a selectable mono or stereo pickup pattern.
