Description

Canon, a leading brand in the world of photography and videography, has introduced the Canon DM-E100 microphone. This microphone is designed for DSLR cameras and addresses the challenges faced by many videographers when it comes to recording high-quality audio that matches the excellence of their visual content.

The Canon DM-E100 microphone is perfect for content creators who record interviews, run-and-gun shoots or live performances. This microphone offers high sensitivity and raises the quality of the audio recorded with a DSLR camera. This can be particularly important for recording interviews or capturing live performances, where the quality of the audio is key to the success of the project.

The DM-E100 microphone detects and records sounds up to 120 degrees, thanks to the super-cardioid polar pattern. This enables users to record sound from two distinguishable directions in front of the mic. This feature, coupled with the DM-E100’s ability to reduce unwanted sounds, such as wind and background noise, makes it an outstanding choice for recording high-quality audio in busy environments.

The Canon DM-E100 microphone also comes with a range of features that are designed to improve the recording experience for videographers. It has an attached shock mount, which helps to minimise unwanted vibrations or handling noise, and a low-cut filter which eliminates low-frequency sounds, such as traffic or hum from lighting.

The DM-E100 microphone is a condenser mic and requires power to operate. However, because it has been designed with DSLR cameras in mind, it does not require an external power source. Instead, it is powered directly from the camera, which simplifies the shooting process, especially when it comes to outdoor shoots.

Finally, one of the most noteworthy features of the Canon DM-E100 microphone is its sleek and stylish design. It fits perfectly with the design of Canon DSLR cameras and offers a professional look to those using it. Weighing in at just 64g, the DM-E100 is lightweight and unobtrusive, making it an ideal choice for videographers who need to remain discreet while recording.

Overall, the Canon DM-E100 microphone is a fantastic addition to the range of accessories available to Canon DSLR users. The mic is designed to improve the quality of audio recordings and offers a range of features that make it simpler and easier for content creators to capture high-quality audio alongside their visual content. With its sleek and professional design, it is an excellent investment for videographers and content creators looking to enhance their work.

  1. Perus

    In this price range – definitely a reasonable microphone. The quality of the recordings is pretty decent. A very good choice to start with.
    There are good quality accessories, a pop filter, a strong basket and quite a long cable. Very good value for money. I think in the $ 50 range there is no better mic. It is perfect for home recordings due to its sensitivity and very low noise level.
    In a word, an excellent purchase.

  2. Ancanas

    The microphone is solidly made and has quite decent parameters compared to the competition from the same price range. For now, I use it briefly, but I can say that it does a pretty good job both for vocals and for speeches. I can say with a clear conscience that I am satisfied with my purchase.

    I am very pleased with the operation of this microphone in stage conditions – even with deeper, characteristic voices, tinted with blues or jazz, it is doing beautifully – I recommend it more than the well-known Shure SM58.
