Atomos Expands Its Creator Ecosystem With The StudioSonic Shotgun Mic

Atomos is expanding its creator ecosystem with the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, a compact yet powerful wireless and wired shotgun microphone designed for filmmakers, journalists, YouTubers, and production professionals. It’s the perfect match for Atomos’ Ninja and Shogun monitor-recorders, as well as professional cameras and recording devices.

The dual-mode design offers the flexibility to operate wirelessly over 2.4GHz or via a direct USB-C digital audio connection with the Atomos’ unique locking USB-C connector, ensuring a secure, professional-grade link to cameras, monitors, and computers.

The StudioSonic Shotgun Mic combines both wireless freedom and reliable wired connectivity to cater for a diverse range of scenarios, including on-location interviews, run-and-gun shooting, field reporting, and capturing unscripted dialogue. Its high quality 48kHz/24-bit super cardioid design isolates voices with precision, even in noisy environments.

Unusually for a shotgun mic, it has an internal, USB-C rechargeable battery, capable of powering the device for around 7-8 hours in wireless mode and up to 50 hours in wired mode. The mic has analog and digital outputs, and the USB-C output is perfect for content creators who want to connect the mic directly to a computer, for podcasts or live streaming.

The microphone incorporates a 75Hz low-cut filter and a 150Hz high-cut filter to minimize unwanted noise, a high frequency boost to improve clarity and manual gain control for precise adjustments. The integrated OLED screen provides real-time monitoring, giving you total confidence in your sound quality. 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.

Built with a shielded, all-metal body, the mic is engineered to thrive in rugged field environments. The USB-C connection is reinforced with the same locking mechanism used across other Atomos products like the Shinobi II and Ninja Phone, providing creators with a consistent and secure workflow across audio and video.
