About Saramonic Vmic5

A professional-grade tool for audio capture, the Saramonic Vmic5 Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone stands out with its exceptional broadcast-quality sound and supercardioid polar pattern. Designed for discerning vloggers, filmmakers, journalists, and content creators, this durable and versatile microphone offers a full-frequency response and focused directionality, ensuring that your recordings are crystal clear, even in noisy environments.

Crafted with a robust ABS construction, the Vmic5 is not only lightweight and compact but also rugged enough to withstand the rigors of video production. Its full-sized 5 x 0.9" interference tube enhances the microphone's ability to capture a wider frequency response and reject off-axis sounds, rivaling the performance of professional XLR shotguns in a more portable form-factor.

Equipped with a 2-stage gain control (0dB/+10dB) and a 150Hz high-pass filter, the Vmic5 allows for precise sonic adjustments, effectively eliminating low-frequency noise and tailoring the audio capture to your specific needs. The supercardioid pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while minimizing distractions from the sides and rear, making it an ideal choice for recording dialogues and interviews.

For added convenience, the Vmic5 includes a 3.5mm headphone output, enabling real-time audio monitoring - a crucial feature for cameras without their own headphone jacks. The side-mounted 3.5mm microphone output comes with a detachable, coiled cable for easy connection to cameras, mixers, and recorders, and can be replaced with any standard 3.5mm TRS output cable or adapter.

The internal 2000mAh lithium-ion battery provides an impressive runtime of up to 150 hours, ensuring that you're always ready to capture high-quality audio. Additionally, the USB-C charging connector allows for external power, giving you the flexibility to keep recording without interruption.

Ready for any filming scenario, the Vmic5 comes with both a foam windscreen and a furry windshield, offering reliable wind protection for both indoor and outdoor shoots. The advanced integrated shock mount reduces vibration noise, and the camera-shoe mount with a metal 1/4"-20 thread offers versatile mounting options on cameras, boom poles, stands, camera cages, and tripods.

In summary, the Saramonic Vmic5 Super-Cardioid Shotgun Microphone is a reliable, high-quality audio solution that provides professional features and premium sound for creators who demand the best from their equipment.
