Saramonic Vmic Pro - Super-directional video condenser microphone

Clearer dialogue takes centre stage in your video recordings with the Saramonic Vmic Pro, a super-directional video condenser microphone for DSLR cameras and camcorders. Its focused pickup suits spoken audio, while onboard controls let you adjust the signal for different recording situations. For a presenter speaking to camera, that directionality keeps attention on the voice; for interviews, the level settings give you a choice of -10 dB, 0 dB or +20 dB to match the incoming sound. A 150 Hz high-pass filter and a +6 dB high-frequency boost offer further ways to shape speech clarity. The Vmic Pro also has a stereo headphone output, so you can monitor incoming audio while recording rather than relying on the camera’s screen alone. Use it for a piece to camera, a sit-down conversation or dialogue captured on location: its camera connection is a detachable 3.5 mm cable that plugs into the camera’s audio input. The microphone has a lightweight metal body and an integrated shock mount, combining a solid-feeling construction with a built-in suspension system. It runs on two AA batteries, so those are the power source to have ready for a recording session.

Why it is useful

• Super-directional pickup: The microphone focuses on sound from in front rather than treating the whole scene equally. That makes it well suited to recording a speaker or interview subject on camera.
• Three recording levels: Choose -10 dB, 0 dB or +20 dB to suit the level of the sound being recorded. The different settings give you a useful adjustment at the microphone before the signal reaches the camera.
• 150 Hz high-pass filter: Switch on the filter to reduce low-frequency content in the recording. It’s a useful option when low, unwanted sound competes with speech.
• +6 dB high-frequency boost: This setting adds emphasis to higher frequencies, which can make spoken dialogue sound clearer. It’s available alongside the level control and filter.
• Stereo headphone output: Connect headphones to listen to the incoming audio while recording. Monitoring gives you a direct way to hear what the microphone is sending through.
• Integrated shock mount and metal body: The built-in shock mount helps isolate the microphone from movement transmitted through its support. Its lightweight metal construction keeps the overall design straightforward to handle on a camera.
