The Deity S-Mic 3S is a professional short shotgun microphone engineered for sound mixers and creators who demand pristine audio capture in film, television, documentary, and broadcast environments. Designed to perform flawlessly in challenging conditions, it delivers exceptional clarity, ultra-low noise, and outstanding resistance to interference—setting a new benchmark for compact shotgun microphones.

At the core of the S-Mic 3S is a gold-plated condenser diaphragm paired with an advanced ultra-low noise circuit, achieving an incredibly quiet 15dB noise floor (A-weighted). Its high sensitivity output means less gain is required, keeping your recordings cleaner and minimizing the risk of distortion. With a maximum SPL of 130dB, it can withstand loud environments while maintaining smooth, natural tone and low off-axis coloration.

The supercardioid pickup pattern provides precise directionality with up to -12dB off-axis rejection, ensuring speech and dialogue remain focused even in noisy spaces. Thanks to its carefully engineered off-axis sound profile, the S-Mic 3S maintains consistent tone even when subjects move slightly off-mic, making it ideal for boom operation on dynamic sets.

Weighing just 44g, the S-Mic 3S is the world’s lightest XLR shotgun microphone—over 50% lighter than previous S-Mic models. Its ultra-light aluminum alloy body drastically reduces operator fatigue, especially during long takes, and is resistant to RF interference for clean, professional-grade audio. The chassis is moisture-resistant, allowing reliable operation in humid or unpredictable shooting environments.

The included W02 deluxe windshield is rated for winds up to 15km/h, featuring a rubber gasket that prevents slipping during takes. When paired with the Radius ASM-2 shockmount and ultra-light carbon fiber boom pole, the S-Mic 3S becomes an ideal indoor boom solution with exceptional vibration isolation and handling noise suppression. Whether on a narrative set, reality show, or remote documentary, the S-Mic 3S offers uncompromising performance in a featherweight design.
