The CSS-50 from Sanken is a three-diaphragm, electret condenser short shotgun microphone that uses pressure gradient technology and supercardioid diaphragms to offer three distinct operational modes. The microphone is suitable for capturing audio in video, broadcast TV, and film applications.

The shotgun mic is small and lightweight with three switchable modes, mono, normal (stereo), and wide (stereo) to satisfy the various needs of location and studio recording solutions. In normal mode, the stereo angle is approximately 115�, and the microphone picks up the targeted sound as well as extremely accurate stereo localization.

Other modes include mono, which provides sharp directivity and is maintained over a wide frequency range for the aimed frontal sound sources. It picks up the chosen sound source clearly in noisy ambient situations or in a long reverberation space.

Finally, wide mode is designed for stereo recording of sound effects where dialogue will be dubbed in at a later date. This mode allows for a wider 140� pickup pattern compared to conventional M-S microphones, which have a maximum of 127�.

The CSS-50 is Sanken's easy-to-operate and flexible stereo shotgun for use in broadcasting and film. It is a 3-diaphragm electret condenser mic that offers innovative technology in a short, practical form factor
The CSS-50 offers three distinct operation modes. Mono mode offers sharp shotgun directivity, normal (stereo) mode provides precise stereo localization, and wide (stereo) mode allows for expanded 140� stereo, which is ideal for cinematic ambience and sound effects
Thanks to Sanken's original thin square capsule design, the capsules can be stacked in the short sound tube, providing performance equivalent to the CSS-5 in a more compact body. The high-performance electret condenser capsules are equivalent in response to DC-biased capsules

Wonderful Face Wipes
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I use Amazon's brand face cleaners every day.And they are wonderful! I also have rosacea , and these never bother it. I buy the lavender scent which is very soothing and smells wonderful. It is not overpowering, but just a light scent.

Best facial mist perfect in every way!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this! I tried it and took a chance and it’s literally the best face spray I’ve used. The Mr. is perfect, it makes you feel refreshed, it smells great. It doesn’t burn and it makes your complexion look Dewey and feels like it tightens your skin a little, but in the right way. It’s a nice sized bottle and the price point is perfect. I’ll probably never stop buying it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just for make up. It’s for anybody that wants their skin to be healthy and hydrated. Try it. You won’t regret it.

Refreshing, gentle and soothing
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
The Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Mist is amazing! It feels incredibly refreshing on the skin and provides instant hydration without any stinging or dryness. I love that it’s alcohol-free, so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin while still helping to tone and soothe. The mist is fine and evenly distributed, making it perfect for a quick pick-me-up during the day or as part of a skincare routine. My skin feels soft, calm, and revitalized after each use. Overall, this facial mist is a must-have for anyone looking to refresh, hydrate, and care for their skin naturally. Highly recommend!
