A Shure Shotgun Designed for ENG, Field Recording, and Professional Video
The Shure VP89 continues Shure's tradition of microphones intended for demanding sound capture, where directivity, resistance to interference, and consistent performance make the difference. This version benefits from a technological update focused on electronics (preamplifier) and interference protection to remain effective in modern, highly exposed environments (transmitters, wireless links, sets, cameras, mobile control rooms). Its reduced footprint and roadworthy design make it a tool suited for teams alternating between boom pole, camera, and discreet setups.
Who It's For and Intended Uses
This modular shotgun microphone is designed for image and sound professionals who need to target a source while maintaining good intelligibility, even in noisy environments. It is particularly suitable for ENG and reporting, concert and event recording, filming, documentary work, as well as field recording. Thanks to the three configurations (Long, Medium, Short), you can choose the ideal compromise between pickup angle, capture distance, and amount of ambiance (audience, room, outdoor).
