Atomos StudioSonic Shotgun Microphone Summary

The Atomos StudioSonic Shotgun Microphone is a broadcast-quality solution for filmmakers, journalists, and content creators. It offers both wireless and wired operation in a compact, robust form factor that integrates seamlessly with Atomos Ninja and Shogun monitor-recorders, as well as with a wide range of professional cameras and audio devices.

With the ability to switch instantly between 2.4GHz wireless and direct-wired modes via USB-C or 3.5mm analogue, the StudioSonic mic suits a variety of production workflows. The locking USB-C connector ensures a reliable and secure fit, which is particularly useful when rigged to handheld or mounted setups in the field.
