Emissive sound quality

Choose the Saramonic Vmic5 condenser microphone and conveniently connect it to devices equipped with a 3.5mm mini jack (TRS), including cameras, camcorders and external recorders. Get broadcast quality audio in your video productions! Thanks to its directional super-cardioid characteristic, you’ll effectively reduce unwanted ambient sounds, capturing primarily what you hear in the foreground, but also picking up audio from the area behind the microphone.

Very versatile use

Ergonomic switches located on the rear of the housing allow you to quickly and conveniently activate additional microphone functions to improve the quality of your recordings. If necessary, we can use a higher input level (+10 dB), as well as activate a high-pass filter (150 Hz), which will effectively suppress unwanted frequencies interfering with sound recording.

Professional monitoring

Audio recording often requires the quality control that headphones provide. On the housing of the Saramonic Vmic5 condenser microphone, there is no shortage of a 3.5mm mini jack socket to which you can easily connect them. Monitoring is done in real time, so it is not accompanied by any delays and unpleasant echo.

Unique shock reduction system

The Saramonic Vmic5 condenser microphone features the revolutionary “Robust Shock” shock reduction system. The ergonomic design of the unit’s housing helps to isolate the capsule from unwanted movements, clicks or knocks that could interfere with sound quality during recording.

Long runtime on a single charge

Comfortable operation with the Saramonic Vmic5 microphone is ensured by the built-in 2000 mAh battery. Fully charged, it will provide up to 150 hours of continuous use. And if you happen to forget to replenish the power in the microphone, simply reach for the power bank and use the USB-C port, which is not missing on the housing of the device!
