The Saramonic Smartmic+ UC is a compact USB-C condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, so it focuses its recording on sound in front of the mic. It’s made for smartphones with a USB-C connection and gives you a straightforward way to capture speech for a video, a solo interview or a spoken update. The directional pickup is particularly relevant when you’re recording one person: place the phone and mic toward the speaker, rather than relying on the phone to pick up the room from a distance. A headphone socket on the mic also lets you listen to audio while recording, which is useful for checking that speech is coming through as expected. The connection is plug-and-play, and the phone supplies the microphone’s power. That keeps the setup compact, with no separate battery to manage. For phone-based recording where clear, speech-focused sound matters, the Smartmic+ UC keeps the equipment simple and adds monitoring in one small accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCardioid directional pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e The microphone is intended to favour sound from in front of it.

Its dimensions are 71.6 × 25.5 × 48.6 mm, and a windscreen is included for use over the microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a one-person phone video with the speaker addressing the camera, I’d keep the Smartmic+ UC close to the phone and aim its pickup toward the speaker. The cardioid pattern makes that front-facing placement relevant, rather than treating the mic as a room recorder. I also appreciate that the phone powers it: your recording kit stays to the phone, microphone and headphones, with no microphone battery to keep charged. The 3.5 mm headphone connection is a sensible detail for spoken clips, since you can listen while recording instead of discovering a sound issue only afterwards. It’s a focused option for creators making interviews, commentary or short video updates on a USB-C smartphone. Its main boundary is compatibility: it’s for smartphones with USB-C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaramonic Smartmic+ UC Compact USB-C Condenser Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindscreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Saramonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Smartmic+ UC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Compact USB-C condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 75 Hz–20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 75 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone connection: 3.5 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Supplied by the connected phone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 71.6 × 25.5 × 48.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saramonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57667294069076,"sku":"SMARTMICPLUS-UC","price":66.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/SMARTMICPLUS-UC_01.jpg?v=1792236083","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/it\/products\/saramonic-smartmic-uc-compact-usb-c-condenser-microphone","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
