Deity Microphones S-Mic 2 Shotgun Microphone Location Kit

Deity Microphones has partnered with Rycote, a top trusted name in microphone shock mounts. This partnership allowed Deity to create a Deity Microphones S-Mic 2 Shotgun Microphone Location Kit, which includes a Rycote InVision Softie Lyre Mount, and Deity wind jammer. The Rycote InVision Softie Lyre Mount uses a Rycote Duo-Lyre 19/34, so it will work with the S-Mic 2 and most other microphones on the market. To better protect your microphone, every S-Mic 2 includes a waterproof hard case (the rubber O-ring in the lid seals the case tight, and an auto air-pressure balanced feature enables worry-free air travel).

The Deity Microphones S-Mic 2 Shotgun Microphone features ultra low off-axis coloration, meaning the user does not need to worry about an audio source moving slightly in and out of alignment with the mic. Need to boom between multiple actors? Even a novice boom operator can pick up rich, full sounds on set with this microphone.

The microphone body is computer machined from solid brass, inside and out. No plastic is used to hold the mic together or mount the PCB, unlike many similarly priced microphones. The S-Mic 2 utilizes a high-end capsule, computer designed circuitry, and features a gold-coated PCB (printed circuit board). The PCB is also sprayed and coated with a clear epoxy that allows the microphone to perform without issues even in the most humid environments. This coating also provides the microphone with a sufficient water resistance level for work in the rain without damage. The body of the microphone has been sprayed with a black speckle paint to give it an extremely durable finish and professional appearance over years of ownership, and for reduced reflectivity on set.

The S-Mic 2 features a super cardioid polar pattern, offering -18dB of off-axis rejection. The S-Mic 2 has an ultra low noise floor at 12dB (A-weighted), 24dB (CCIR 268-3). Combined with its anti-RF interference build, the S-Mic 2 is able to be boosted with gain with a lot less background noise than some microphones on the market.
