The Deity S-Mic 3S is a short shotgun microphone, one of the lightest available at just 44g and 148mm long, yet it delivers broadcast-grade audio with a supercardioid pattern and a low 12dB A-weighted self-noise floor. Powered by 24V or 48V phantom power and built around a rugged aluminium body, it is the ideal boom mic for ENG operators, run-and-gun crews and any situation where a full-length shotgun is impractical.
Key Features
- Ultra-compact and light: just 44g and 148mm long, easy to mount on a camera or carry on a boom all day.

- Low self-noise: a 12dB A-weighted noise floor keeps recordings clean and detailed.
- Flexible powering: runs on 24V or 48V phantom power through a standard 3-pin XLR output.
- High headroom: handles up to 130dB SPL with total harmonic distortion under 0.5 percent.
