Item number
C 568B 2168Z0003
• Compact, short shotgun microphone
• Integrated, switchable bass rolloff filter minimizes
mechanical noise
• Ideal for theater, sound reinforcement, film, and
TV applications
• Suitable for camera-mounted use
High directivity and wide frequency response in a rela-
tively short shotgun make this microphone a perfect tool
for theater, sound reinforcement, and film/TV applica-
tions. Due to its compact and lightweight design, the
C 568B is ideal for camera mount applications.
Below 500 Hz it functions as a hypercardioid microphone;
above 500 Hz the acoustic interference tube introduces
increasing directivity. A switchable 12 dB/octave 120 Hz
bass rolloff filter effectively suppresses impact and wind
noise. The rugged, all-metal body contains the built-in
preamp. Phantom powering (9–52 V) required; foam wind-
screen and stand adapter included.
