Lectrosonics expanded its product lineup with the introduction of the S1 Shotgun Microphone, a lightweight RF-bias design unveiled at the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The microphone is engineered for location sound, studio production for film and TV, and sports broadcasting, offering a compact form factor without compromising audio quality.
According to the company, the S1 utilizes RF-bias technology, which provides consistent performance in humid environments and reduces handling noise. The microphone features a supercardioid polar pattern, delivering focused front pickup and rejection of off-axis sounds. It operates on standard 48V phantom power and includes a low-cut filter switch to minimize low-frequency rumble.
Lectrosonics emphasized the S1's lightweight construction, making it suitable for boom pole use in field recording. The microphone is compatible with the company's existing wireless systems and accessories. Pricing and availability details were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.
