Product Information
Full details
The PULSE NPM702 is a professional-grade line and gradient shotgun microphone designed for videographers, filmmakers, and stage technicians who need precise, directional audio capture from a distance. Its robust aluminium construction and high SPL handling make it a reliable tool for high-pressure production environments; however, users should note that it requires an external source of 9-52V phantom power to function, making it less suitable for basic consumer devices without XLR inputs.

FAQs
Does the NPM702 come with a battery compartment?
No, the NPM702 operates exclusively on external 9-52V phantom power supplied via the XLR connection.
Can I use this with a standard DSLR camera?
You can only use this with a DSLR if it features a professional XLR input with phantom power support; otherwise, you will require an external XLR pre-amplifier or adapter.
What is the purpose of the 180Hz roll-off?
The 180Hz roll-off is used to filter out low-frequency noise like stage vibrations, wind rumble, or air conditioning hum.
Is the microphone body weather-sealed?
The microphone is made of durable aluminium, but it is not weather-sealed; always protect it from direct exposure to rain or liquid.
Can I mount this on a standard camera shoe?
The included rubber holder is designed for stands and boom poles; you may need a separate shoe-mount adapter to attach it to a camera cold-shoe.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal detected.
Verify that your recording device or mixer has phantom power (9-52V) turned on.
Audio sounds thin or lacks body.
Check if the bass roll-off switch is engaged and set to the 180Hz position; move it to the flat position if full low-frequency capture is desired.
Excessive noise or buzzing in the recording.
Ensure all XLR connections are secure and use a balanced cable to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent feedback rejection for live environments
- Sturdy aluminium build quality for field durability
- Wide 30Hz to 20kHz frequency response
- Effective low-frequency noise control via bass roll-off
Cons
- Requires external phantom power (9-52V)
- Not compatible with 3.5mm plug-in power inputs
- Limited to XLR connection environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the NPM702, connect a high-quality 3-pin XLR cable from the base of the microphone to your mixer, audio interface, or camera's XLR input. Ensure that phantom power (48V is the industry standard) is enabled on your recording device.
Care instructions:
- Always store the microphone in a dry environment when not in use.
- Use the provided rubber holder to decouple the mic from camera mounts or stands to prevent mechanical handling noise.
- Clean the foam windshield by gently washing it in warm water with mild soap and allowing it to air dry completely before reattachment.
- Avoid exposing the capsule to direct moisture or extreme humidity to preserve the internal condenser elements.
