Universal 3.5mm Shotgun Microphone

The Acuvar MFSMIC connects via a 3.5mm plug to cameras, camcorders, DSLRs and compatible smartphones. It is built for creators who need better sound than an internal mic provides. The unidirectional pattern focuses on the subject in front of the lens. It suits vlogging, streaming, interviews and social-media clips.

Plug-and-play setup with cable routing care

No apps or software are required; the corded electric design draws power from the recording device. The 3.5mm cable is fixed, so check that your device port is accessible before mounting. The lightweight 0.08kg body adds minimal bulk to a rig. The main issue is accidental cable pull or connector stress during handheld use.

Unidirectional capture limits and device dependence

The 40dB sensitivity works best when the source is close and centred; off-axis sound drops off quickly. Recording quality is bounded by the host device preamp and analogue-to-digital conversion. There is no gain control, monitoring jack or wireless option on this model. Buyers who need adjustable levels, stereo capture or cable-free movement should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Acuvar MFSMIC is picking up sound correctly after plugging it in?

Record a short test clip and listen through headphones; the unidirectional polar pattern should capture clear audio from the front while reducing side and rear noise.

What accessories come with the microphone and what must I provide separately?

The box includes the MFSMIC with its 3.5 mm cable; you need a camera, camcorder, DSLR or smartphone that has a 3.5 mm audio input jack.

Which version of this mic should I choose for vlogging and live streaming?

The single MFSMIC model with 40 dB sensitivity and 0.08 kg weight is the only version supplied, designed for universal compatibility with 3.5 mm devices.
