If you’re looking to get a better sound out of your DSLR or mirrorless camera, consider the Saramonic SR-XM1, an unobtrusive unidirectional microphone that plugs directly into your device’s 3.5mm TRS jack and secures a crystal clear broadcast sound. With its tiny form factor and integrated swivel for easy positioning, the mic is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including mobile journalism and run-and-gun filming.
The unidirectional polar pattern provides a focused audio capture, greatly diminishing unwanted ambiance while focusing intently on whatever is in front of the mic. The built-in shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted handling noise. The SR-XM1 is compatible with a wide array of Saramonic gear, including UWMIC9, UWMIC10, and UWMIC15 transmitters as well as the SmartRig+ Series and LavMic. A foam windscreen is included.
The SR-XM1 features an integrated swivel, so it can easily be pointed directly at the sound you want to capture. Its unidirectional pickup pattern provides smooth and even sounding audio, and its built-in shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted vibration and handling noise. Not only is this microphone ultracompact and lightweight, it also never needs batteries or charging.
This mic is easy to use: plug it into your equipment, and it's good to go. A built-in swivel allows you to point it at the sound you want to capture.
In addition to its uses with Saramonic gear and compatible cameras, the SR-XM1 can also connect to microphone inputs on a wide variety of equipment. You can attach it to portable audio recorders, mixers, and it can even be used as a high-quality microphone for the GoPro Hero5, Hero5 Session, Hero6, and Hero7 action cameras when you use it with the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (available separately).
