HC-15
MICROPHONE
The Rycote HC-15 is a hyper cardioid short shotgun microphone designed for a wide range of applications
in cinema, TV, ENG, live broadcast, sound design, studio and eld recording.
The HC-15 combines a moderately directional polar pattern with extremely low self-noise. This provides
some level of o-axis rejection and isolation with a crisp sound quality to match, making the HC-15 a great
all around mic for many recording environments.
