BOYA BY-BM3030, Condenser Shotgun Microphone, Black

The BOYA BY-BM3030 is a condenser shotgun microphone designed for directional audio capture. It utilizes a supercardioid pickup pattern to isolate sound sources from the front while attenuating noise from the sides and rear. The device features a frequency response range of 40 Hz to 20 kHz and a sensitivity of -38 dB. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 78 dB, it provides clear signal reproduction for recording environments. This microphone connects via a 3.5 mm TRS interface, providing compatibility with DSLRs and portable audio recorders.

The unit weighs 132 grams, making it suitable for camera-top mounting without adding significant bulk. It includes an integrated shock mount that reduces mechanical vibrations and handling noise. This mount features a cold shoe and a 1/4-20 thread for attachment to camera cages or booms. Power is primarily provided by an AA battery, though it can also use plug-in power from the host device. The microphone is suitable for interviews, electronic news gathering, and documentary production.
