The Saramonic SoundBird T3 is an XLR shotgun microphone designed to easily capture clear and natural speech and dialog indoors or outside. It is outfitted with a set of built-in controls to adapt and meet the challenges that inevitably arise when recording audio on set. A travel-ready suite of accessories ensures that you have all the tools necessary to start shooting right away for your next indie film, documentary, web video, or wedding video project.
The SoundBird T3 features a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which provides up to 150 hours of run time. It can also be powered via +48V phantom power supplied from an XLR-equipped camera or recorder.
At 11.1", the SoundBird T3 is well suited for use mounted on a camera shoe, boompole, or stand (using the included shockmount). The mic comes with a protective foam windscreen and can benefit from the Saramonic TM-WS1 furry windshield (available separately) when recording in high-wind environments.
