Deity S-Mic 3

This professional shotgun microphone is engineered to deliver true broadcast-quality sound, making it an ideal choice for film, television, streaming and high-end content production. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, it provides clear, natural audio reproduction even in demanding recording environments.

Built with advanced shielding and internal circuitry, the microphone is highly resistant to radio frequency interference (RFI). This protection minimises unwanted noise from wireless devices, transmitters and surrounding electronics, ensuring clean and stable recordings on set, in the studio or on location.

The microphone features an ultra-lightweight aluminium alloy housing weighing just 80 grams. This durable yet lightweight construction makes it easy to mount on boom poles or rigs without adding unnecessary strain, while still providing the ruggedness required for professional use. Its weather-resistant design further enhances reliability in outdoor and challenging conditions.

Operating on 48V phantom power, the microphone integrates seamlessly with professional mixers, audio recorders and XLR-equipped cameras. The internal electronics are built around an extremely low-noise circuit, delivering just 12dB self-noise (A-weighted). This low noise floor ensures exceptional clarity, even when capturing subtle dialogue or quiet ambient detail.

Thanks to its high sensitivity, the microphone requires less gain from your preamp, reducing the risk of introducing additional noise into the signal chain. The result is a cleaner, more dynamic recording with excellent headroom.

Sonically it offers a smooth, natural tonal character with minimal off-axis colouration. Voices remain consistent and intelligible even when the subject moves slightly off centre, a crucial advantage in dialogue recording and fast-paced production environments.
