Atomos is dipping their toes deeper into the audio game with the launch of the StudioSonic Shotgun Mic, a compact, directional microphone built for video professionals, solo shooters, and mobile creators. Known primarily for their video monitor-recorders, Atomos is now expanding into sound with a mic that feels practical and straightforward for field use. The StudioSonic can be used either wirelessly over 2.4GHz or as a wired mic via USB-C or 3.5mm analog output. The USB-C port features Atomos’s proprietary locking connector, the same type used across devices like the Ninja Phone and Shinobi II. This setup gives users a more secure connection that holds up better in active shooting conditions. Audio is captured using a supercardioid condenser capsule at 48kHz/24-bit. A built-in OLED screen provides quick feedback on gain levels, filter status, and battery life, all directly on the mic. Atomos StudioSonic Shotgun Mic.
