The VP83 is an ultra-compact, rugged microphone for high-definition audio capture with DSLR cameras and HD camcorders. Developed with a highly directional supercardioid/lobar polar pattern, the VP83 provides superior off-axis rejection and delivers natural audio reproduction. An integrated, custom-designed Lyre® shock mount (exclusively developed with Rycote®) provides robust isolation from vibration and mechanical noise.

The VP83 allows you to easily capture detailed, high definition audio when video recording with a DSLR camera. It can also be used with portable audio recorders. The integrated coiled 3.5 mm cable connects directly to the recording device’s audio input.

The VP83 achieves natural audio reproduction with its wide frequency range, high sensitivity, low self noise, and full low end response. Its shotgun format enables it to provide a supercardioid / lobar polar pattern. This is the most tightly directional pickup pattern possible, and it effectively blocks out background noise. A three position audio gain switch (-10 dB, 0 dB, +20 dB) lets you compensate for the loudness of different sources.
