The slim, handheld form factor and plug-and-play connection provide clear voice capture for interviews, vox pops and mobile journalism.

Advantages

The Interview GO offers a compact, ergonomic handheld design that simplifies on-location interviewing. Its wired connection ensures consistent audio capture without the need for battery management or wireless pairing. The microphone's slim profile and lightweight construction make it easy to hold during extended interviews, and the included windscreen helps reduce wind noise and plosive sounds for clearer speech recording.

• Field reporting and street interviews (vox pops)
• Broadcast and news gathering

• Mobile journalism and event coverage

Key specifications

• Form factor: compact handheld interview microphone
• Connection: wired, plug-and-play operation
• Included accessory: removable windscreen to reduce wind noise and plosives
• Color: pink
• Intended use: speech and vocal capture for interviews and reporting

How to use

Connect the Interview GO to a compatible recording device or camera using the appropriate cable. Hold the microphone at a steady distance from the speaker’s mouth—typically 5–15 cm—to capture clear speech without distortion. Use the removable windscreen when recording outdoors or in conditions with air movement to reduce wind noise and plosive consonants. The wired design requires no pairing; simply plug in and begin recording.

Recommendations

For best results, position the microphone slightly off-axis to the speaker’s mouth to minimize plosives, and use the windscreen in windy environments. Monitor levels on your recorder or camera to avoid clipping when speakers raise their voice.
