THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING 
POLSEN.

The Polsen MVP-6 Directional Shotgun Microphone 
is a great addition to mobile journalists’ and vloggers’ 
rigs. It vastly improves the audio over the built-in 
mics on smartphones, DSLRs, point-and-shoots, and 
video cameras, for professional-sounding interviews, 
documentaries, and run-and-gun productions.

The MVP-6 can be mounted on a camera’s shoe 
mount or onto a tripod, and it plugs into a DSLR, 
smartphone, or portable recorder’s 1/8-inch audio 
input jack. The supercardioid polar pattern and 
shotgun design focus on the sound directly in front 
of the microphone while rejecting off-axis sound and 
noise. To minimize handling noise and any vibrations 
that might affect your recording, the MVP-6 comes 
with its own shock mount. Anti-interference design 
and low-noise electronics assure an audio signal 
that’s free of noise and interference.
