Shure VP89LPremium Modular Shotgun Microphone

Shure VP89 Premium Modular Shotgun Microphone

The Shure VP89 is a professional modular shotgun microphone designed for broadcast, field recording, live events, and film production. Engineered for high-performance audio capture, the VP89 series combines state-of-the-art preamplifier design, superior RF immunity, and unmatched off-axis rejection to ensure pristine sound reproduction in challenging environments.

The VP89 is modular, offering long, medium, and short cartridge/barrel housings to suit different recording scenarios:

• Long Barrel: Ideal for distant sound sources, such as sporting events, wildlife recording, and ENG applications. It provides an extremely narrow pickup angle and exceptional off-axis rejection.

• Medium Barrel: Optimized for talk shows, audience response, and live concerts. Offers a moderate pickup angle while maintaining excellent off-axis rejection.

• Short Barrel: Designed for close-range, near-field sound capture, including discreet or camera-mounted applications. Features a wide pickup angle with clear, detailed audio.

Additional features include a recessed low-cut filter switch for precise control, internal low-frequency roll-off, and a smaller, rugged footprint for roadworthy reliability. The VP89 is compatible with a comprehensive range of premium Rycote® microphone accessories, including suspension windshields, rigid blimps with fur covers, boom and pistol-grip mounts, “Softie” slide-on windshields, and various camera and side-rear mounting options.

Whether capturing distant ambience, close-up dialogue, or live audience response, the VP89 ensures professional-quality audio with minimal interference and maximum flexibility.
