The DMW-DMS1 is a multidirectional digital microphone for select Lumix cameras. Key features include:
Six pickup patterns
Mic array with built-in shock absorption
32-bit float & linear PCM formats
Distortion-free up to 120 dB
For Panasonic Lumix Cameras. This hot shoe mic pairs with the S1RII, S1II, S1IIE, S5II, and S5IIX cameras. Support is slated for the GH7 and GH9II in a future firmware update.
Portable Pro-Grade Sound. Take this tiny mic everywhere you go and cover a large variety of situations thanks to the intuitive six-button layout covering forward directional (cardioid and supercardioid), stereo, wide stereo, rear directional, and bidirectional pickup patterns.
Unique Noise-Reducing Structure. With a cable-free hot shoe connection, the DMS1 offers a lightweight and clean setup. It comes with a windscreen that goes over a round 0.4" large‑diameter mic array that sits above an internal floating shock mount to reduce handling and vibration noise.
Wide Dynamic Range and Reliable. Record in 32-bit float up to levels as high as 120 dB with low-to-no distortion. This makes the DMS1 suitable even for concerts and sporting events. It also offers dual recording: one for the main, all-directional audio and the other at -20 dB to use if the main audio exhibits clipping at any point.
Other Notable Features. Despite its small size, this mic is still equipped with physical switches for Wind Cut, Noise Cut, and Gain, in addition to the six physical mode buttons with handy directionality icons. It also offers adjustable brightness so that you can see everything easily during low-light events. Please be aware that this is a digital microphone that draws power and transfers signal via the hot shoe of select Lumix cameras.
