Equipped with a long interference tube for enhanced directionality and greater off-axis rejection, the Saramonic SoundBird T3L is an XLR shotgun microphone designed to easily capture clear and natural speech, dialogue, foley, and sound effects indoors or outside. It is outfitted with a set of built-in controls for adapting to the challenges that inevitably arise when recording audio on set. It includes a suite of accessories to ensure that you have all the tools necessary to start shooting right away for your next indie film, documentary, or sound gathering project.

The SoundBird T3L features an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which provides up to 150 hours of run time. It can also be powered via +48V phantom power supplied from an XLR-equipped camera or recorder. At 15.5", the SoundBird T3L is well suited for use on a boompole or stand, and it can even be mounted on a camera shoe. The included shockmount and mic clip offer a variety of thread sizes as well as shoe mounts, allowing the mic to accommodate virtually any common mounting configuration. The mic comes with a protective foam windscreen and can benefit from a furry windshield (available separately) when recording in high-wind environments.
