What is a shotgun microphone?
Shot microphone is a type of direction microphone commonly used in television and film production; It is used to process or reinforce sounds directly in front of the microphone rather than sounds from sides or surrounding sounds in the room. The narrow shape of the microphone of the shotgun and its orientation when mounted on the camera causes that it seemed that a shotgun appeared, hence the name. The microphone can pick up some sound to the left, right and back of the microphone, but is specially designed to pick up the most sound from the front of the microphone.
The category in which a shotgun is a directional microphone, which means that the microphone is best used to pick up sounds from a particular direction. Omnidicerous microphones, such as capacitor microphones, are better used to pick up sounds from many directions and condensation into smaller processing signals. The capacitor microphones are the most useful in controlled environments such as studio spaces while the microphone shotguns are best used in P PŘídoví in various places, especially in noisy places. A person standing in front of the microphone will still be heard despite a large amount of noise.
The capacitor microphone can be designed to also act as a shotgun microphone. Capacitor microphones are useful for easy pickup of quieter sounds using a certain type of diaphragm that vibrates when it is hit by sound waves. This method can be used in a shotgun microphone and this microphone can be used to pick up sounds at longer distances. The microphone can still be directional, but will be able to pick up other sounds and sounds from a greater distance with better clarity.
Like many other types of microphones, a shotgun is often used in conjunction with the windscreen or pop filter. These devices are made of thin materials that hang over or forward to prevent air from affecting the membrane, causing soundor the loud sound of the wind. Shotculian microphones are often mounted on television cameras that are assigned to the assignment, so the windshield helps to prevent the microphone to be flooded with loud, unpleasant sounds caused by wind or cameraman movement. MIC can be removed by the camera itself, although it is usually mounted on the camera for easy use. The cable must be used to connect the microphone to the camera to record sounds.
