Panasonic Digital directional microphone DMW-DMS1E

Panasonic DMW-DMS1E digital directional microphone

The DMS1 is an all-in-one microphone for every recording situation. It was developed for creators and professionals who want uncompromising audio quality with simple operation. Whether it's a travel vlog in a city, an interview in a studio or the atmosphere of a live event, the DMS1 adapts to the requirements so you can focus on your story*1.

The DMS1 features a newly developed microphone array with a large 10mm diameter that delivers clear and focused sound even in demanding environments. For flexible run-and-gun workflows, an internal shock mount minimizes noise from movement. Wind noise reduction uses float recording technology to reduce wind noise without compressing the desired signal, preserving an open, natural vocal sound even in adverse weather conditions.

To cover a wide range of situations, the DMS1 offers six directional modes, avoiding complex setups. It supports 32-bit float recording2to record audio without distortion even at sound pressure levels of up to approx. 120 dB.To ensure that no recording is lost or to capture additional ambient noise, the device offers two backup modes2. When recording in 4-channel mode, channels 3 and 4 can be used as a backup to reliably secure important audio signals
