The SSH-6 mid-side stereo shotgun capsule includes a superdirectional microphone for picking up sound in the center as well as a bidirectional side mic for picking up sounds from the left and right. This allows you to record a fully mono-compatible stereo image - deal for film, video, and television projects. For example, you can capture dialogue with the center mic, and then mix in the desired amount of environmental sound captured by the side mic, directly on your Zoom recorder or in post-production. A hairy windscreen is included for wind noise reduction.
