The VPH100 is a compact short shotgun microphone featuring a back electret condenser element with cardioid polar pattern. Designed for long-distance pickup in location film, TV production, and spot news coverage, it delivers a wide frequency response of 30Hz-20kHz for accurate signal reproduction. Requiring 48V phantom power, it offers -38dB ±3dB sensitivity (0dB=1V/Pa, 1kHz), 200Ω impedance, and 74dB signal-to-noise ratio. With 134dB maximum SPL handling at 1% THD, the aluminum-bodied microphone weighs 140g and measures 21mm diameter × 231mm length, making it ideal for professional video recording applications requiring precise directional audio capture.
