# 9 Rode VideoMic Directional Video Condenser Microphone
Audio is more than half of your New Media presentations. Even if the video is a bit jerky or grainy, most viewers are willing to struggle through if the content is good. On the other hand, bad audio can cause your viewers to “change the channel” without hesitation. Step up your new media production with this shotgun directional microphone. This type of microphone helps to knock out extraneous noise and allow you to place your camera further from your subject without sacrificing audio quality.
