Ultimaxx Professional Condenser Microphone with Hot Shoe Bracket

SKU CH-K9ZV-D6Y8H

A uni-directional condenser microphone records stereo audio directly to DSLR or video cameras via a 3.5 mm plug and includes a foam windscreen plus locking hot-shoe bracket

  • Stereo recording captures immersive sound with electret condenser
  • Uni-directional pickup rejects off-axis noise for clear dialogue
  • Hot/cold shoe mount with locking knob secures to camera
  • Built-in 3.5mm cable connects instantly without extra adapters
  • Foam wind screen reduces wind noise during outdoor shoots

Compatible Camera Systems

This condenser microphone mounts on DSLR and video cameras using a hot or cold shoe bracket with a locking knob. It connects through a built-in cable ending in a 3.5 mm stereo mini plug for direct recording. The package includes a foam wind screen and an aluminium hot shoe bracket. It is designed for videographers who need better audio than built-in camera microphones provide.

Recording Constraints

The uni-directional electret condenser captures stereo sound directly, but its fixed cable length limits positioning flexibility. Audio quality depends on the camera's pre-amplifier and codec, which vary by model. Wind noise reduction relies on the supplied foam screen rather than active filtering. The microphone draws power from the camera's microphone input, so phantom power is not required.

Upgrade Path

This unit replaces on-camera microphones that lack directional pickup or stereo recording capability. The improvement is most noticeable when recording dialogue or ambient sound in controlled environments. It does not suit users who need wireless operation, interchangeable capsules, XLR connectivity, or multi-channel recording beyond stereo.

Questions about this item

Does this Ultimaxx microphone come in any other versions or capacities?

The supplier lists a single model with a 3.5 mm stereo mini plug, a unidirectional electret condenser capsule, a foam wind screen and an aluminium hot shoe bracket with locking knob.

What does "professional broadcast quality audio" mean when I plug this into my DSLR?

It records stereo sound directly through the 3.5 mm jack using a unidirectional electret condenser capsule that focuses on the subject and rejects side noise, while the foam screen reduces wind rumble.

What does the 3.5 mm stereo mini plug cap in practice?

The 3.5 mm stereo mini plug connects straight to the camera's microphone input, so audio quality is limited by the camera's own preamp and analogue-to-digital converter rather than by the microphone itself.
