Synco 21-10042 D2 Hypercardioid XLR Shotgun Mic (2110042)

Synco 21-10042 D2 Hypercardioid XLR Shotgun Mic (2110042)

The Synco 21-10042 D2 Hypercardioid XLR microphone delivers professional video and audio recording with accurate, natural sound from the source. It pairs a hypercardioid polar pattern with an ultra-flat frequency response to help capture the sound you want while reducing off-axis noise.

Directional pickup that reduces off-axis sound

The D2 adopts a hypercardioid polar pattern and sound wave interference technology. It stays highly sensitive to certain directional sound and effectively attenuates off-axis sound to achieve the best sound pickup effect.

• Hypercardioid polar pattern
• Sound wave interference technology
• -32dB±3dB sensitivity to directional sound
• -18dB off-axis sound attenuation

Accurate capture with an ultra-flat frequency response

The shotgun mic range runs from 20Hz to 20KHz. The ultra-flat frequency response lets it output all the frequencies we can hear at once and produce accurate natural sound from the source.

• 20Hz–20KHz frequency response
• Ultra-flat frequency response

Low-noise performance for broadcast audio

The D2 features an ultra low noise floor at 12dB (A-weighted) and 24dB (CCIR 268-3). Its 80dB SNR means it can maximally transfer the desired signal while reducing background noise.

• 12dB (A-weighted) ultra low noise floor
• 80dB signal-to-noise ratio

Durable brass construction with outdoor-ready finish

The CNC machined brass metal body guarantees solid construction and high anti-interference, which supports outdoor audio recording and crisp sound pickup. A black speckle finish allows it to work normally even in the rain and reflect no light when filming on formal occasions.

• Solid brass body
• CNC machined brass metal construction
• Black speckle finish

Reliable XLR connection with included cable

The universal gold-plated shielded 3-pin XLR connector supports interference-free signal transfer. SYNCO includes a standard 19.7-inch XLRM-XLRF cable, and it can connect to camcorders easily with a XLRM-XLRF cable.

• Gold-plated shielded 3-pin XLR connector
• 19.7-inch XLRM-XLRF cable included

Mounting options for boom poles and tripods

You can mount it on boom poles and tripods. SYNCO recommends using a boom pole with a shotgun mic holder that fits D2 (Diameter: 19mm), and you can use the holder that comes with D2 if a holder does not fit.

• Compatible with boom poles and tripods
• Recommended holder fit: 19mm diameter
• Shotgun mic holder included

Power and compatibility notes

The D2 needs a 48V phantom power supply and only applies to portable sound card or mixer. It cannot connect directly to cameras.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the built-in bass function do on the SYNCO D2? It adds built-in low frequency gain to enhance the low frequency and retain more bass details, which contributes to flat frequency response.
2. Can the D2 connect directly to a camera as an on-camera shotgun mic? No. It needs 48V phantom power and only applies to a portable sound card or mixer.
3. What power does the SYNCO D2 require? It needs 48V phantom power.
4. What boom pole works with the D2? Use a boom pole with a shotgun mic holder that fits D2 (Diameter: 19mm). If a holder does not fit, you can use the holder that comes with D2, which is universal with a 3/8 screw.
5. Why might the D2 not work with other XLR cables? Make sure it is powered by 48V phantom power.
6. Can the SYNCO D2 be used with ZCAM? No. The D2 only works with 48V phantom power devices such as a mixer and sound card.
7. Do I need an adapter to use the D2 with a Canon 5D4? The D2 cannot connect directly to cameras and needs 48V phantom power, so it only applies to a portable sound card or mixer.
