Aputure V-Mic D2 Directional Shotgun Microphone

The Aputure V-Mic D2 shotgun microphone is a sophisticated directional condenser with first of its kind technology. The stepless sensitivity adjustment is the first in the world which can be applied to variable recording situations. You can adjust its sensitivity ranging 40dB steplessly from 1 to 10 levels for a more precise control. The V-Mic D2 also has flat frequency response that lets you record voice details in detail. The flat frequency response also used to restore pure audio which records natural sounds with ease. Additionally, its low-cut filter, low self-noise and low power consumption makes it a great recording gear especially when you’re doing interviews.

Product Features in Detail

Stepless sensitivity adjustment
As a first in the world, the stepless sensitivity adjustment of the Aputure V-Mic D2 can be applied to variable recording situations. You can adjust sensitivity ranging 40dB steplessly from 1 to 10 levels to realise more precise control.

AF-Peak calibration
The V-Mic D2 uses pioneering AF-Peak synchronisation technology enables you to precisely sync with any devices which can adjust sensitivity manually. The shotgun microphone can easily show AF-Peak on itself via -12dB and over-indicators after synchronising with your recording device. It displays an instant sensitivity adjustment and ensures a qualified sound.

Flat frequency response
The Aputure V-Mic D2 lets you record voice details in depth with its extremely flat frequency response. Any sound frequency can be recognised by the V-Mic D2 to ensure hi-fi sound. The flat frequency response makes a more ideal sound when the original recording is personalised in post-processing. The output is the exact original sound when used in a professional sound recording environment.

Flat frequency response to restore pure audio
True response is a flat frequency response that results in a pure, untransformed audio signal. This means that what you record is clear and untouched. This shotgun microphone captures natural sounds with so much ease. The V-Mic D2 ensures that it keeps sensitive audio like familiar voices just as they are. It is perfect for capturing ADR in the studio or creating Foley.

Low-cut filter
With the V-Mic D2, the low-cut filter is easily accessible on the face of the microphone operation panel. It can filter any sound lower than 100hz preventing low-end noises such as air conditioners, traffic or even the sound of the camera’s native system from being recorded. Needless to say, it can control the levels when recording in a noisy environment.

Low self-noise
A huge consideration when purchasing microphones is to make sure that it’s a quiet one. The V-Mic D2 has a low noise level which is desirable when you’re working with low sound-pressure levels. This means that the sound will not drown in noise from the microphone itself. The V-Mic D2 utilises an optimised circuit with an output transformer which minimises the entire electronig stage of noise.

Low power consumption
The developers of Aputure minimised the power consumption of the V-Mic D2 for maximum battery life efficiency. By needing less power, the device increases its signal speed in critical parts of the circuit and lowers power on its non-critical paths. The shotgun microphone even uses different transistors in each of its circuit paths to further reduce power consumption without losing any performance quality. Two AAA batteries can power the V-Mic D2 for over 100 hours.
