The Harmonai EM-678 is a professional interview microphone designed specifically for video production and broadcast audio capture (EFP/ENG). Its length is precisely optimized for diverse applications—including indoor and outdoor recording. Utilizing acoustic interference principles, it achieves exceptional hypercardioid directivity, paired with a high-quality back-electret condenser capsule to deliver clean, pure audio signals for long-distance, narrow-angle pickup.

Key Advantages

  • Hypercardioid polar pattern: Effectively suppresses off-axis and rear noise, capturing target sound sources with precision—even in noisy interview environments, delivering clean vocal recordings.
  • Full-copper metal body: Lightweight at 204g, robust and durable; comfortable for extended handheld use—ideal for journalists working on location.
  • Professional XLR output: Standard XLRM 3-pin male connector ensures seamless integration with mixers, recorders, camcorders, and other pro audio equipment.
  • Flexible low-frequency control: Built-in low-cut high-pass filter allows on-the-fly adjustment to reduce wind noise and low-frequency environmental rumble.
  • 48V phantom power: Complies with industry-standard 48V DC phantom power supply, drawing only 2mA—compatible with most professional recording devices.

Ideal Applications

The EM-678 excels in news interviews, documentary field recording, film & TV ENG/EFP production, outdoor person-on-the-street interviews, and live sports reporting. Whether used in studio environments or exposed to sun, wind, and rain, it delivers consistently stable and reliable audio performance.
