Recording Audio Doesn’t Have to Be a Pain With This New Panasonic Shotgun Microphone

When you have the right gear, capturing audio for your film and video projects can actually be fun. We know that might sound insane if you’re used to the anxiety surrounding audio capture (and that sinking feeling of starting an edit and noticing your poor audio quality for the first time).

But trust us, there are great audio recording options out there these days that don’t cost high-end dollars. The new Panasonic DMW-DMS1 Multi-Pattern Shotgun Microphone could perhaps be one of those solutions as a digital shotgun mic option featuring 32-bit float recording and a ton of helpful features.

It’s also not prohibitively expensive. Here’s what you need to know.

The Panasonic DMW-DMS1 Multi-Pattern Shotgun Microphone

Designed by Panasonic to be an option for the modern, do-it-all content creator, the DMW-DMS1 Multi-Pattern Shotgun Microphone aims to deliver crisp, focused audio in a lightweight, cable-free body.

The mic is highlighted by many helpful features, including a newly engineered 0.4-inch large-diameter microphone array, six selectable directional modes, advanced wind-noise cancellation, and professional 32-bit float recording.

The goal is to give you, the content creator, flexible, distortion-free sound capture in environments ranging from quiet studios to high-intensity live events, making it a true “do-it-all” option that can serve you for pretty much any shooting opportunity that comes your way.
