Atomos expands with unique shotgun mic

Posted on May 29, 2025 by Adam Duckworth

The StudioSonic Shotgun Mic is new from Atomos and can be used wired or wirelessly

Atomos continues to expanding its creator ecosystem with the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, a compact yet powerful wireless and wired shotgun microphone. It works with cameras or recording devices.

The dual-mode design operates wirelessly over 2.4GHz or via a direct USB-C digital audio connection with the Atomos’ locking USB-C connector, ensuring a secure, professional-grade link to cameras, monitors and computers.

It has a high quality 48kHz/24-bit super cardioid design to isolates voices, even in noisy environments.

Internal power is rechargeable

Unusually for a shotgun mic, it has an internal, USB-C rechargeable battery, capable of powering the device for around 7-8 hours in wireless mode and up to 50 hours in wired mode. The mic has analog and digital outputs, and the USB-C output is perfect for content creators who want to connect the mic directly to a computer, for podcasts or live streaming.

The microphone incorporates a 75Hz low-cut filter and a 150Hz high-cut filter to minimize unwanted noise, a high frequency boost to improve clarity and manual gain control for precise adjustments. The integrated OLED screen provides real-time monitoring. The mic is supplied with a 2.4GHz receiver. Latency is less than 20ms and the working range is up to 100m with line of sight. It costs $249 but no UK price has yet been set.
