High-Pass Filter. This mic includes a two-step high-pass filter with 0 Hz and 80 Hz settings, allows you to reduce the effects of low-frequency hum, camera motor noise, and other external interference.

Additional Features. The microphone is equipped with a shock mount and windscreen to further minimize the pickup of undesired audio and has a standard camera shoe and a 3/8" threaded mount for easy attachment to cameras and boom poles.
