That's probably the best instructional video I've seen on microphones. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Agreed its great to see someone explain in a detailed and articulate way how these shotgun mics work. Very well done.
Literally the same thing I just said outloud to myself at the end of this video.
I agree completely! Well done Shure! Perfect brandbuilding by simply and clearing explaining the product!
This is probably the best instructional video on the internet.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! A company that's actually teaching something rather than just advertising their product. Kudos to @shure
I especially loved the sound clips comparing the different lengths and the different windscreens side by side.
Clearest tutorial ever. shame you don't cover other facets of life
Hahaha, I know right? Why are 90% of tutorials given from people that have no script and go on tangents?
that leaf crunch was crisp
Incredibly well made video! Keep it up!
This continues to be one of the most useful microphone videos I've ever watched and referred others to. I cannot understate how useful and clear you make what seems at first to be a complicated topic. Thank you!
this vid is so 90s in its information delivery ,its great
Video was so good I never forgot it and just came back to refresh my old memory
Best instructional video ever made, Hands down.
A hack I picked up from a fellow youtuber is to place a cleaning sponge over the mic. I use Shure mics in my radio studio and even my cheapest one is of a great quality
Thank you, Shure. This isn't the first time your instructional pieces have helped me. I appreciate you sharing your expertise in the field.
This is the most concise tutorial on shotgun mics I've ever seen. I love the comparisons between mic models and windscreens. Nice!
I noticed quite a bit of HF roll off on the biggest windscreen. I know that's just physics though I was shocked by just how much more it was than from what I expected it to be.
VERY VEEEERY GOOD VIDEO. Thanks!
Fantastic video that really cleared things up and gave me some great tips. Coming from a beginner that just bought my first shotgun microphone.
Glad you found it helpful!
Just spent the last 30 min watching videos about boom mics and this is definitely the best.
Shure is the peak in microphones. Great information.
This was fantastic and very tangible!
I continue to be amazed at the effort and information that SHURE puts into their tutorials on their products and applications. I can say that my skills as an audio technician have been increased from the videos, and of course the products that I have purchased and continue to use.
We're glad you find our content so helpful!
This was really useful!
explains it well thx
This is the most useful video I have found yet on how a shotgun mic works. Job well done.
Super informative. Thank you!
really impressed on how length affect sound and the way you demonstrated it.
thanks! super helpfully for my rtv major
Shure is such an incredilby good brand. No nonsense and grade-A quality.
That was very informative, but no surprise really, as it's what Shure does best!!
Great video! Very informative.
The segment at 1:42 made me buy a VP89L.
What a great video !!!
I haven't seen a more "produced for education" feeling video than this since high school or the DMV test.
Great summary. Thanks!
Keith Hopkin yes right to the point great vid
lockerdogs hbv.
this should be what every streamer uses. it can be further way and have good sound quality. not blocking the table or picking up keyboard noise
Great information, great examples. Thanks for demonstrating all the differences in microphone types and placement.
Shoutout to all the boom mic operators
I'd love to know the science behind how the wind shield blocks wind but still allows for vocals to be transmitted to the microphone. That's very interesting technology.
excellent and very informative video. Although I am aware of all the setups, uses and procedures for shotgun mics, it's nice to see videos as this one as a refresher now and again. Thank you for a well presented and professional product demo video.
Thank you for the video! Really useful one. I would like to ask you to do a video demonstrating the same mic with different wind shields on a windy day on a street with some cars and people. Always been curious how would it sound. Everybody say the deadcat-type shields are best for such conditions, just no one demonstrates the difference. Thank you!
Really good video, for me as total beginner I learned something. My next shotgun mic will be one from shure
Loved the two sound comparisons with the 3 mics. They all sounded about the same, might as well get the least expensive one. :-))
works and looks wonderful
Thank you, very informative
This is really really awesome info. thanks and do some more, for whatever you like to share ;-)
Thank you.
Very useful and the best video i have seen
Very educational! Thank you!
0:38 This right here, killed me.
Haoto - Anime on Piano why?
Very good video. I just was missing the usage of a normal omnidirectional microphone as comparison.
It feels good to have a helpful tutorial.
So this is what I want for my desk setup, ty
great video. Tons of information.
I just learned what a shotgun microphone is and how it works. Thanks dudes!
Thanks for an excellent video!
A very beautiful Video good luck hopefully my friend
It was a very informative video. Thank you.
Excellent and valuable information coming from the best!!!
Always love clear and nice demos
Super informative and interesting. Well done!
great video, really informative
Great video. Concise and informative with solid examples!
thank you!
Now I can understand and explain this to another!
great video! I teach video production and used this in my classes
Great job on explaining some of the differences! Really well done!
Closure reminded me of 'Spiders of Drugs'. For more information...
Great vid!
This should be called "Applications for a shotgun microphone" or "How to use a shotgun microphone." A video about "how Shotgun microphones Work" would be about the technology that makes a shotgun microphone work and how the mic itself achieves its directionality. You think Shure themselves would at least attempt to give you a little shotgun mic history and even possibly show you inside some of their units.
Very nice and clear presentation. Thank You!
Still have one question - why people use short-guns instead of long ones ?
Very nice and trustable video. Tks a lot.
Thanks so much! Really great tutorial
Thank you for this video. Very helpful!
Thank you, a lot of great info in here I was looking for
parabéns pelo material!
Very resourceful. We plan on live streaming lectures classes. How can we eliminate background noise ?

Miss this Shure that didn’t succumb to marketing jargon to sell their mics
Thanks ... I finally learned what to do with with Shotgun Microphone ...
also .. why that Rycote furry beast costs so much and how effective it
is in cancelling wind sounds
You might have your answer already after 6 years, but, those things are probably so expensive because they most not lose their fur when exposed to severe amounts of wind, but still "brake the wind" (to explain it very crude) without causing to much pickup loss, you need to be able to dry it without the thing shrinking or altering it's wind filtering capabilities.
And they are very effective, a simple plosive filter can already save you during the summer when there is a light breeze (which will usually seperate your footage from that of people with a handycam who are simply unable to shield their microphone from any wind entering it), but they will quickly loose their effectiveness with stronger winds.
They are probably used more in professional TV applications than you might think, simply for not realizing you don't hear any wind while there actually is a microphone equipped with such a device nearby the head of the host of a program (sometimes in combination with a lavalier mic with a "dead mouse" on it).
great stuff as per usual Shure, thanks
Thank u sir for this video,I also eagerly search for the Shotgun Microphone benefits,I am very happy after watching this video.
So good. Thank you.
I love it!
I agree, nice video, but they didn't actually explain HOW it works only THAT it works and longer = narrower arc. Where is the mic cartridge positioned and why do the side slits make a difference. Why not just use a short tube with no slits? There has to be a reason, so a video explaining it a but more technically would be useful, thanks.
It's been 5 years and you may have your answer by now, but for everyone else: The microphone cancels out sounds it picks up when not coming directly from the pickup angle (this will depend on sound pressure, they are not necessarily good at like a pop concert, simply for blaring speakers creating so much moving air they will notice anything coming from anywhere, basically). There are (usually) a couple of pickup elements along the slotted tube that listen to differences in loudness for sounds coming from a specific direction, anything around a certain threshold is perceived to be coming from the left or right instead of the front (if I recall correctly there have been microhpones that could listen to time differences in the sound signal simply for a sound from the left arriving at a slightly later point in time to the right side). What it picks up because it's basically the same in loudness (and in time, maybe, techniques could have changed a little over the years) it perceives to be right in front and only outputs that to the amplification circuitry.
they should have call it flashlight mic or spotlight mic of the narrow way it captures audio like the light of a spot/flash light
Very informative. Thank you!
very helpful....thanks!
Great video! Much appreciated!
Very helpful! Thank you so much.
when you are using a short it's much more forgiving if your subject moves, the level of sound rejection a long gives you isn't required in most environments, if you are in an extremely noisy environment you will close mic not shotgun, when using a short the sound focus is similar to what your brain pays attention to when you are listening live... so it sounds more natural than other mic techniques, with a short you can camera mount and have wide enough pickup area to record two people conversing
omg that video was amazing ! thank you !
"a shotgun microphone does not let you zoom in on a conversation from 100 feet away"
gee i wonder why they said that
Great! Thank you!
depends on what you are recording,
I agree, very informative Video....
Great information, thanks a lot
Nice.
Nice job. Thanks.
Hi. Do you need a digital audio recorder, for example a Tascam or a Zoom, to use with the shotgun mic or would you still be able to get good sound without a recorder?
Most shotgun mics (and other condenser mics) will require a recording device of some kind as well as an XLR microphone input that provides phantom power. Some portable recorders have these features.
Shure’s VP83F shotgun mic integrates a recorder that writes data to a Micro SD memory card. Otherwise, both the Shure VP83F and VP83 can connect to a DSLR camera or camcorder using a stereo 3.5mm connector. Both of these mics are powered by AA batteries.
Desk mountable shotgun mic for blogging?
Explained very well sir thank you. could you please do a video about DSLR lenses what is the difference between them and how to choose would be a great effort !
but they sell microphone, not lenses
What's a good mic to record loudspeakers..the speakers have drive units that are scattered on the front of the cabinet. I wish to make a stereo recording of music through the loudspeakers. The speakers are spaced about 6ft apart and the listening position could be around 6 or 8 ft away. My ca,Cordero is a Panasonic hcx900m
Wow!
