About Saramonic SmartMic MTV550

It's time to elevate your audio recording experience with the Saramonic SmartMic MTV550, a uniquely designed USB studio microphone that delivers high-quality, optimized audio across a wide range of sources and scenarios. This large-diaphragm microphone boasts a Cardioid polar pattern and five selectable recording modes, each designed to optimize the EQ curve for various recording sources and applications.

The SmartMic MTV550 is engineered to deliver a dynamic, professional sound characterized by clarity, warmth, and punch, whether it's standing out in a mix or shining on its own. This microphone is versatile, making it ideal for spoken word, vocal performances, musical instruments, ensemble music performances, and much more.

The SmartMic MTV550 is not just about superior sound quality; it's also about convenience and style.

The five optimized recording modes of the SmartMic MTV550 are designed to capture the best performance for the application and deliver a recording that is impactful, requiring minimal post-production tweaking.

The SmartMic MTV550 also makes it easy to dial in perfect levels with its tactile input level control. It features a 75Hz Low-Cut filter to eliminate excess bass frequencies from HVAC systems, external noise, or even from the recording source. It also features a 3.5mm headphone monitor output with volume control, allowing you to monitor the application, or with zero-latency direct monitoring to ensure you sound great every time.

Designed for those who want to stand out and still look professional, the SmartMic MTV550 features a sleek vintage style that looks great on camera. It also features an integrated internal pop filter that protects against pops and plosives, without the need for a bulky external pop filter. Its adjustable tabletop stand is designed to absorb bumps or impacts and allows you to quickly position the microphone's angle for optimum sound pick-up.

The SmartMic MTV550 includes three output cables; USB, Lighting, and USB-C for plug-and-play operation with computers, iPhones, iPads, and Android smartphones and tablets. Just plug it into your device, open the application, and start recording or streaming. The SmartMic MTV550 makes it easy to record optimized sound anywhere, to almost any device.
