The Boya BY-PVM3000S is a professional supercardioid shotgun microphone kit. It features an integrated preamp and a short, 5.35” (13.6cm) capsule and is expandable with interchangeable capsule options (sold separately). The short capsule effectively rejects sound from the rear and sides, with a wider directional pick-up pattern (70-degrees). It is an ideal microphone for many professional video applications, like multi-person interviews, TV broadcasting, filmmaking, sound effect capture, Foley and so much more. BY-PVM3000S features a built-in low-cut filter switch on the preamplifier to cut out low frequency sounds that can be distracting, such as HVAC systems, wind noise, footsteps and traffic. It is powered by either 24 to 48 V phantom power or a single AA battery, allowing the BY-PVM3000S to be used with professional cameras, recorders and mixers, as well as DSLR mirrorless, and consumer cameras. Adding to the value is its extensive list of included accessories that come with the BY-PVM3000S. You get a professional shock mount to mount it on a boom pole, or on-camera, replacement bands for the shock mount, a foam windscreen for indoors, a furry windshield for outdoors, and a zippered pouch to carry it in. All of which make this microphone package a tremendous value.
