Supercardioid Condenser Microphone Kit
The Panasonic AG-MC200G is a supercardioid condenser microphone designed for camera mounting. It targets videographers and broadcast professionals who need focused, directional audio capture. The kit includes a foam windscreen for basic wind protection during field recording. It connects to professional audio inputs via a standard 3-pin XLR output connector.
Phantom Power Requirements and Frequency Range
This microphone requires 48V phantom power to operate, so it must be paired with a compatible camera, mixer, or recorder that supplies it. The frequency response spans 160 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the essential range for clear dialogue and ambient sound reproduction. Low-frequency roll-off begins at 160 Hz, which naturally reduces handling noise and wind rumble. Users without phantom power capability cannot use this microphone.
Super-Directional Pickup Pattern
The supercardioid polar pattern provides narrow, forward-focused pickup with strong side rejection. This makes it suitable for isolating a subject's voice in noisy or crowded environments. It is not suited for capturing wide stereo soundscapes, ambient room tone, or multiple speakers spread across a broad area. Buyers needing omnidirectional or wide-cardioid coverage should consider a different microphone type.

Questions about this item
Will the AG-MC200G work with my camera that only supplies plug-in power instead of 48 V phantom power?
No, this microphone requires 48 V phantom power from the recorder or mixer; plug-in power is not sufficient.
How can I confirm the supercardioid pattern is rejecting off-axis sound after I mount it?
Record a test while speaking from the side and rear; the level should drop noticeably compared with on-axis speech.
Does the kit include an XLR cable or shock mount, or must I buy them separately?
The box contains the microphone and a foam windscreen only; an XLR cable and any shock mount are sold separately.
