Details for Everyday Use

The Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote (SVM Pro Rycote) is a compact condenser stereo microphone for cameras and DSLRs featuring Rycote® Lyre® suspension. Camera microphone with broadcast-quality recording Rycote® Lyre® suspension New, hand-selected pair of 1⁄2” condenser capsules in an XY stereo configuration Improved foam windscreen Extremely lightweight and compact design On-mic power switch and EQ controls Two-step high-pass filter (flat, 75 Hz) Three-position level control (-10 dB, 0, +20 dB) Powered by a 9V battery—over 100 hours of operation (alkaline battery) New Kevlar-reinforced braided cable Camera shoe with 3/8” thread for easy mounting on camera rods and microphone stands 10-year warranty (after registering the microphone on the manufacturer’s website) The Stereo VideoMic Pro offers cinematographers the ability to create high-quality stereo recordings and is ideal for capturing music and ambient sounds to create a realistic soundscape. The Stereo VideoMic Pro delivers a wide stereo image with natural depth, thanks to new, high-sensitivity ½" condenser capsules arranged in a fixed XY configuration. In addition to the new microphone capsules, a key difference from the original version of the microphone (SVM Pro) is the integrated Rycote® Lyre® suspension system, which separates the microphone capsules and electronics from the microphone mount and ensures isolation from external physical factors that can cause unwanted noise and vibrations. The suspension is made from a single piece of durable thermoplastic and provides excellent acoustic isolation. Furthermore, unlike traditional elastic suspension solutions, it never wears out (no sagging or snapping rubber bands). Thanks to its ergonomic design, it is perfectly suited for DSLRs, small home video cameras, and cameras with large sensors. The newly designed Kevlar-reinforced braided cable, along with the improved windscreen foam, contributes to excellent acoustic isolation from the camera and offers significantly lower transmission noise and higher sensitivity. On the rear of the microphone body, there is a compartment for a 9V battery and all control elements, including a 75 Hz high-pass filter—designed to eliminate low-frequency noise generated by sources such as traffic, air conditioning, etc.—and sensitivity switches (-10 dB, 0, +20 dB). The -10 dB setting allows the user to reduce the microphone’s sensitivity so that it is suitable for recording loud sounds
