A truly camera-friendly design.

RAY's compact and clever design makes it easier to show your face to the camera, read a script, or view a screen while using the microphone. There is no bulky pop filter or microphone covering your face or field of view.

The shock mount protects your signal from structure-borne noise. The pop filter protects your signal from plosives during vocal recordings and attaches to the shock mount magnetically.
