MODEL SM89
CONDENSER SHOTGUN MICROPHONE
Model SM89 is a highly directional condenser shotgun microphone
with distant pickup characteristics suitable for on-location film
and television production. The SM89 can also be used for theater
sound reinforcement, spot news coverage, or wildlife recording.
The SM89 discriminates at a distance in favor of desired dialogue
or effects and against ambient noise–even in noisy surroundings.
The on-axis frequency response of the SM89 is very smooth
and extended. For clarity and speech intelligibility, a slight
