The XYH-5 is a shock-mounted X/Y stereo capsule with two matched unidirectional condenser mics set at 90 degrees. Its standout feature is the advanced shock mount, which uses rubberized construction and external mic wires to minimize vibration and handling noise. That makes it especially well-suited for handheld video work and live broadcasting where movement is unavoidable.

It handles up to 140 dB SPL, so loud concerts and close-miked drums won't be a problem. Compatible with the H5, H6, H8, Q8, F4, F8, and ECM-3 extension cable. If you need clean stereo capture in noisy, active environments, the XYH-5 is the capsule to reach for.
