SANKEN CSR-2

This mic delivers super sharp directivity over a wide frequency range, making it the ideal microphone to capture targeted sounds in location situations with noisy surrounding ambience or in tight spaces with unwanted wall reflections. In order to reduce the sensitivity at 90 degrees off-axis, the front capsule pattern is super-cardioid. It captures the low-mid frequencies that have a longer wave-length than the acoustic tube in the rear of the microphone, with no line microphone effects.

In addition, the CSR-2 uses a second-order pressure gradient array, comprised of two microphone capsules. Their output is added to the line (front) microphone signal when the rear rejection switch is in the "on" position to suppress low frequency background sensitivity.

A rich, natural sound makes the CSR-2 ideal for a wide range of uses, such as outdoor location sound, public interviews, sports, drama, variety shows and much more.

Innovative technology in a short 250 mm long, ultra-compact 170 g housing, this model features a uniquely long reach, extended low frequency response, and low noise. Specifically designed for event DV as well as the film and television industries, it is ideal for mounting on video and film cameras.

It is easy to maneuver on boom poles and is also effective as a handheld shotgun mic. Sharp directivity delivers highly targeted sound while eliminating background noise through off-axis rejection. Uses standard 19mm accessories. 48 volt phantom power required.
