Field Mic – PAIR – Panasonic WM-34BZ

Description

FIELD MIC – Stereo Pair – Designed for HIGH QUALITY RECORDING 

From field recording to sound reinforcement, my POTAR Design FIELD MIC pair is an affordable way to capture amazing HD stereo recordings on any budget. An amazing starter setup!

The deceptively simple electronics allow for powering the Panasonic WM-34BZ capsules from any phantom powered/P48 field recorder, or desktop mixer, enabling you to capture the lowest lows and the highest highs. The end results are spectacular- clean crisp sound reproduction, at a fraction of the cost of comparable microphones.

The 10mm diameter Panasonic WM-34BZ is designed for high quality audio in even the quietest settings from 20 Hz to 16 kHz.

Not quite as sensitive as the POTAR 5024L-HD Field Mic Pair, but that can be better in noisy city or road adjacent cases.
