Sanken CSS-5

World's First Stereo Shotgun ---- with Three Modes of Operation

MONO, Normal STEREO and Wide STEREO 3 MODE switchable Superb rear rejection at 180 degrees even in low frequencies MONO-STEREO compatibility. Mono and phantom center have the same sound characteristics

MONO In the MONO mode, sharp directivity is maintained over a wide frequency range for the aimed frontal sound sources, using the combination of a second gradient microphone and a line microphone. It is significant that the CSS-5 picks up the chosen sound source very clearly even in a noisy ambient situation or in a long reverberation space.

NORMAL In the NORMAL mode, the CSS-5 clearly picks up the targeted sound as well as extremely accurate stereo localization. STEREO angle is 120.

WIDE The WIDE mode is designed for stereo recording of sound effects and environmentalinformation where dialogue will be dubbed in at a later date. This mode allows a wider 140 degree stereo width.

Mono-Stereo Compatibility In stereo recordings, the frequency response of the MONO summed output often exhibits interference, or comb filtering. This phenomenon is caused by phase differences between the Left and Right signals. This does not occur in single point recording

• Mono - For sharp shotgun directivity and excellent low frequency definition

• Normal - For precise directional hyper-cardioid focus with accurate stereo localization

• Wide - Expanded 140 degree stereo image for cinematic ambiance and stereo sound effects

• Unique 5 capsule design

• Wide 100Hz-15kHz frequenzy response

• Standard XLR5 connector

• Uses standard accessories

• Included accessories: instruction manual,vinyl case
