The Product

The Superlux PRA-118S is a highly directional short condenser shotgun microphone. Suited to film, video, television and theatre recordings and also live broadcast scenarios. Due to it's shorter length the PRA-118S can be mounted on a camera mount as well as on a fishpole, boom arm or handheld (with a suitable windshield suspension kit). Featuring a smooth frequency response, it provides a clear and natural sound. A carry case is included to protect the microphone when not in use. A long version of the microphone is also available (PRA-118L).

Requires phantom power to function.

The Manufacturer

Superlux is the brand name for Taiwan-based Goang-Fann Co. Limited. In 1997 the company acquired the Tenlux microphone company (who had been manufacturing microphones for Sony, Electro-Voice, Kenwood and Sharp since 1987); also at this time a research and development facility was established in Shanghai. Microphone manufacturing is within the genes of the company: co-founder Pan Chien-Yeu's father built the first condenser microphone in China after completing his studies in Germany and passed his knowledge to his son. As a primary goal Superlux aim to provide the best sound performance at a reasonable price.
