The sound of the person filmed, not of the room
The condenser capsule is cardioid: it first picks up what is in front of it, along the axis of the lens. That is what a vlog, a street interview or a commentary on a shoot needs. Mackie builds it with professional-grade components, for clearer, more defined sound: 35 Hz to 20 kHz response, -42 dB sensitivity, 680 ohm output impedance.
A black plug, a green plug
The microphone has a 3.5 mm mini-jack socket at the back. The TRS cable with the black plug goes to the mic input of a DSLR camera, a camcorder or a recorder; the TRRS cable with the green plug connects to a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop. A label on each cable shows its use, and the microphone works as soon as it is plugged in.

A shock mount against hand noise
The supplied shoe adapter includes a shock mount. The microphone snaps into it without forcing, then the assembly is hand-tightened onto the device's accessory shoe. The shock mount reduces handling noise.
Foam indoors, fur outdoors
The foam windscreen is for indoor and everyday use. To film outside, the furry windscreen slides over the capsule and greatly reduces wind noise.

Frequently asked questions about this product
Which devices can the EM-93M be connected to?
A camera, a camcorder, a recorder or a smartphone. Two cables are included: the TRS cable with a black plug goes to the mic input of a camera, a camcorder or a recorder; the TRRS cable with a green plug goes to a smartphone, a tablet or a laptop. The other end plugs into the 3.5 mm socket on the microphone.
How is the microphone mounted on a camera?
With the supplied shoe adapter, which includes a shock mount. First snap the microphone into the shock mount without forcing it, then hand-tighten the adapter onto the camera's accessory shoe. If it does not fit at first, loosen the ring before sliding it on. The shock mount reduces handling noise.
Which windscreen should be used outdoors?
The furry windscreen. Slid over the microphone, it greatly reduces wind noise when filming outside, during a report or a walking vlog. The more discreet foam windscreen is for indoor and everyday use. Both are supplied with the microphone and fit in a few seconds.
What is the polar pattern of the EM-93M?
Cardioid. The microphone mainly picks up sound arriving in front of it, along the axis of the camera or phone, which suits a person filmed facing the lens, an interview or a commentary while shooting. The capsule is a condenser, with a 35 Hz to 20 kHz response and a 68 dB signal-to-noise ratio.
What are the audio specifications of the microphone?
The EM-93M is a cardioid condenser microphone covering 35 Hz to 20 kHz. Its sensitivity is -42 dB, its signal-to-noise ratio 68 dB and its output impedance 680 ohms. Mackie builds it with professional-grade components to give clearer sound than the built-in microphone of a smartphone or a camera.
What are the size and weight of the microphone?
It measures 79 × 23 mm and weighs 40 g. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it mounts on a camera or a smartphone holder without unbalancing it, and packs into a bag pocket with its windscreens and cables. Mackie intends it for vlogging, mobile journalism and budget video production.
