Crystal clear sound without distortion

The Saramonic SR-MTV500 condenser microphone with USB connector for podcasting guarantees professional recordings that you can quickly and conveniently save to your Windows or Mac computer, without having to invest in external audio interfaces. Thanks to the pop filter integrated in the housing, you’ll minimize the risk of distortion and crackling that explosive voices (that’s all the “p’s”, “b’s”, “t’s” that cause uncontrollable air ejections) can cause – whether you’re speaking or singing.

Two modes for different applications

A dedicated button allows you to quickly and conveniently switch between two different frequency responses. This allows you to perfectly match the recording parameters to your needs. The Saramonic SR-MTV500 can act as a typical omnidirectional microphone that evenly picks up sound from all sides, naturally mixing your voice and everything else going on around it. However, a button marked with a green LED allows you to switch to cardioid mode. When pressed, the device will act completely like a directional microphone, suppressing background noise and providing the highest quality voice capture in the foreground.

Create your own podcasts

Get the most out of your cardioid microphone by recording speech, commentary and custom dialogue tracks to create professional podcasts or broadcasts. Thanks to modern technological solutions, any background noise will be suppressed to the maximum, and your voice will be clear and loud enough. Simply connect the microphone to your computer and your room or office will turn into a professional recording studio!

Recording as in a real studio

Singing songs or playing guitar? The Saramonic SR-MTV500 microphone lets you quickly and conveniently record vocal samples, ideas for new riffs, or fleeting melodies that will become the basis for your future songs. Whether you record in cardioid or omnidirectional mode, the convenient access to the appropriate knobs and switches, as well as child’s play operation, will allow you to focus on what matters most – the spontaneous enjoyment of music.

Professional listening always at hand

On the microphone body you will find a 3.5 mm mini jack socket, which will allow you to conveniently connect headphones. Real-time monitoring of recorded speech or vocal parts will allow you to easily catch any mistakes, errors or slips of the tongue. You don’t need any additional mixer to hear your voice in the headphones and have full control over the recorded audio!

Folding tripod

The ergonomic housing of the Saramonic SR-MTV500 microphone combines modernity with immortal retro style. The unique design will quickly make the unit a highlight of your room, office or home studio. Thanks to the articulated design of the integrated tripod, you will not only ensure the perfect angle of the microphone during recordings, but also the compact size when folded, making it easy to conveniently transport in your bag or backpack.

Convenient handling

When using the Saramonic SR-MTV500 microphone, you don’t need to run any additional applications or virtual mixers to set the optimal signal gain and listening volume. There are ergonomic buttons and knobs on the chassis that allow you to quickly and conveniently adjust the recording parameters to suit your needs.

Mute microphone with one button

Anyone who has ever forgotten to turn off the microphone during a video conference knows that an innocent mistake can lead to awkward situations and misunderstandings. For the sake of your privacy, the Saramonic SR-MTV500 features a special button on the body of the microphone, allowing you to mute the recording in a second. A flashing light informs you that the “mute” mode has been activated. By using this solution, you gain full control over the recorded sound and a convenient way to quickly mute the microphone.

No drivers or additional configuration required

Out of the box, you only need a few seconds to plug the microphone into your computer and start recording. You won’t need any additional drivers or configuration software. Just plug it into a USB port, set the Saramonic SR-MTV500 microphone as an input audio device… and that’s it! With this simple plug & play solution, you don’t need anyone’s help to professionally record your podcasts, providing you with crystal-clear audio quality while videoconferencing, producing your own broadcasts, or playing online games.
