The switch likely offers settings for attenuation, low-cut filtering, or gain boost. Contact Procure.ae to confirm the exact functions so you can optimize for your recording situation.

When would I use the 10 dB boost feature?

The boost setting increases sensitivity for distant or quiet sound sources, such as recording ambient dialogue from actors further from the camera or capturing soft environmental sounds.

Is the all-metal construction important for professional use?

Yes, rugged all-metal construction ensures durability through repeated shoots, protects against moisture and environmental stress, and maintains signal integrity over time.

Can I use this shotgun for both indoor and outdoor video production?

Yes, the directional pickup and lightweight design make it suitable for studio work, indoor filming, and outdoor location shooting. The tight focus helps control acoustic environments in any setting.
