Shure VP89M Medium Shotgun Microphone
The Shure VP89M is a medium shotgun microphone, an end-address condenser with a hypercardioid/lobar pattern for focused pickup in audio and video production.
The capsule unscrews from the preamplifier, so the same body takes the long and short VP89 capsules for a tighter or wider pickup. Capsules and preamplifiers also interchange with the Shure SM89.
A class A discrete preamplifier gives a fast transient response, and the design keeps hum, GSM, and RF interference out of the signal. A two-position switch adds a 12 dB per octave rolloff below 200 Hz for floor rumble and HVAC noise.
The aircraft-grade aluminum body weighs 138 g, light enough for long days on a boom. A foam windscreen and a protective case come with it.
