SARAMONIC VMIC Broadcast Quality Condenser Microphone On-Camera Shotgun Microphone Camera & Audio Recorders

Saramonic Vmic Broadcast quality condenser microphone

The Saramonic Vmic is a broadcast quality condenser microphone that provides professional audio with DSLR cameras and camcorders. The Vmic allows you to adjust level control (-10dB, 0dB, +20dB), high-pass filter(150 Hz), and high-frequency boost(+6dB) to increase intelligibility of dialogue. The detachable 3.5mm cable connects the Vmic to the audio input of the camera, while the stereo headphone output allows you to monitor the incoming audio. The shock mount system provides isolation from vibration and mechanical noise.

All of the controls on the Vmic are easy to use and easy to access. It has a +20dB boost setting that lets you to turn down your camera’s noisy preamp in order to achieve an ultra-clean sound as well as letting you pick up subjects from further away. The -10dB setting lowers the sensitivity of the Vmic so you can cleanly capture audio in loud environments. A low-cut switch makes dialog more intelligible and eliminates unwanted deep bass sounds, like distracting vibration noises from footsteps. A high-frequency boost setting enhances the sharpness and clarity of the sounds you capture.

A short, coiled output cable is included to connect to your camera or recorder. This cable is easily removable which allows you to use any 1/8“ (3.5mm) cable in its place. When you need more length than the included 8-inch cable provides, you can easily swap it out for a longer one. A foam windscreen is included for indoor use, and for outdoor recording in higher winds you can use the VMIC-WS fitted furry windscreen that was designed for the Vmic (sold separately). The Vmic is an excellent sounding shotgun microphone that outperforms competing products that are considerably more expensive and doesn’t have the compromises of microphones that are similarly priced.
