Thanks to its non-reflective black finish, low self-noise, and sharp directivity, the Moza NP10 shotgun microphone offers location sound recordists, boom operators, and indie film/TV videographers strong audio performance and a look that won't disrupt the shot. Sonically, the NP10 delivers smooth and natural tonality without producing excessive hiss or requiring extreme gain at the mic preamp.
Considering that signal interference such as EMI and RFI are impeded by the CNC-machined brass housing, and that the included windscreen reduces undesired wind noise caused by breezes and nearby fans, the NP10 is capable of yielding clean, pro-level sound. The mic's condenser capsule and interference tube result in a highly directional response that significantly lessens the amount of background noise, especially in comparison to omnidirectional and bidirectional polar patterns.
Focused Directivity
This supercardioid microphone has an acoustic design that uses an interference tube to produce directionality that is more focused than other common polar patterns such as omnidirectional and cardioid. The microphone effectively attenuates off-axis sound, meaning it captures clean sound directly in front of the mic while reducing sound pickup from the sides and the rear.
Balanced Frequency Response
The NP10 accurately and naturally picks up all audible sound within the human hearing range of 40 Hz to 16 kHz. Its frequency response curve helps achieve intelligible sound without problematic extreme lows and highs.
Low Noise Floor
With an ultralow noise floor of 12 dB (A-weighted) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 70 dB, all signals can be transmitted and restored to the maximum volume while reducing background noise.
Practical and Attractive Exterior
The NP10 has a high-quality, CNC-machined brass metal tube body, ensuring a solid structure and high anti-interference performance. The black tube body makes it ideal for formal occasions and video production as it does not reflect light.
Gold-Plated XLR Output
The universal gold-plated XLR 3-pin male connector has excellent signal transmission stability and anti-interference qualities. Connect the NP10 to a microphone preamp that can send 48V phantom power, such as the XLR input on a camcorder, mixer, or dedicated mic pre.
User Friendly
Since there are no dials, buttons, or switches on the NP10, it is easy to use and fast to set up.
Included Accessories
The NP10 comes with a mic clip for attachment to a mic stand or boompole, and a foam windscreen for reduction of noise from light breezes. Compatible shockmounts and furry windshields are available separately to make the NP10 ready for demanding location work.
