Compact Stereo Camcorder Microphone

The Audio-Technica PRO 24-CM is a lightweight stereo condenser microphone built for digital recording with high-fidelity sound. Its pair of cardioid elements in an X-Y configuration captures a realistic live sound field. The rugged construction is designed to endure the rigors of field production. A permanently attached coiled cable and accessory shoe allow quick mounting on compatible camcorders.

For Video Creators Needing Portable Stereo Capture

This microphone suits videographers and field recordists who want a compact, shoe-mount stereo solution with plug-in power flexibility. It is not for users who require XLR connectivity or phantom power operation. Buyers needing independent gain control for each channel should look elsewhere. The fixed coiled cable may not suit setups requiring detachable or longer cable runs.

Dual Power Operation With Plug-In Power Support

The PRO 24-CM operates on an internal battery or draws plug-in power from camcorders that provide it at the mic input. This flexibility lets you record without battery changes when your device supplies power. The 24 model number identifies this specific stereo camcorder variant. Verify that your camcorder offers plug-in power if you plan to use the battery-free mode.

Questions about this item

How often will the battery need replacing during regular field recording?

The microphone runs on a single AA battery or draws plug-in power from compatible camcorders, so battery changes depend on recording time and whether the camera supplies power.

What limits continuous recording time when the mic is mounted on a camcorder?

Recording duration is limited by the camcorder's media capacity and battery life, not by the microphone itself, which has no internal storage or time restriction.

Does the microphone generate noticeable heat or noise during all-day shoots?

As a passive condenser with no active electronics beyond the FET preamp, it produces no audible self-noise increase and no perceptible heat during extended use.
