Compact Stereo XY Microphone for DSLR

The Vidpro XM-CS is a condenser microphone built with dual track left and right capsule elements in an X/Y configuration. It captures stereo audio directly to a camera or recorder microphone input. The design provides strong stereo separation while avoiding phase problems. It suits field recording, live music, concerts, events and video production.

Power and Signal Management

A single AA battery powers the unit, which is not included in the package. An on/off switch with a power LED indicator shows operating status at a glance. The selectable -10dB level attenuation handles loud sources without distortion. The dual capsule layout keeps the signal clean in typical indoor and outdoor environments.

Aluminium Build with Hot Shoe Mount and Windscreens

Durable aluminium construction withstands regular indoor and outdoor shooting. The included suspension shock mount attaches directly to a camera hot shoe to reduce handling noise. A furry windscreen and foam wind shield are supplied for wind protection. A soft carrying case stores the microphone and accessories together.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Vidpro XM-CS on my camera's hot shoe and power it up?

Slide the supplied suspension shock mount onto the hot shoe, tighten its locking wheel firmly, insert one AA battery, flip the power switch on, the LED lights, then select the -10dB pad if the source is loud.

What ongoing upkeep does the XM-CS require besides changing the AA battery?

Keep the foam wind shield and furry windscreen clean and free of tears, check the shock-mount elastic bands for stretch, and store the unit in its soft case to protect the X/Y capsules from dust and impact.

At what sound-pressure level does the -10dB attenuation become necessary to avoid clipping?

Engage the -10dB switch whenever the source exceeds the microphone's maximum SPL handling; the pad extends headroom by 10 dB so loud concerts or close-miked instruments stay clean.
