The Saramonic Mini Condensator Directional Microphone SR-M3 has a stated frequency range of 75 Hz to 18 kHz, and its pickup pattern is omnidirectional rather than narrowly focused. That makes it suited to recording voices and surrounding sound together, rather than isolating a single speaker from everything around them. It’s a useful match for DSLR cameras and camcorders with a hot shoe and a microphone input. Mount it on the camera for video interviews, spoken pieces to camera or location clips where the atmosphere of the surroundings matters too. The additional microphone input gives you another option for recording sound from more than one direction, while the headphone socket lets you listen as you record. A supplied windscreen cuts down wind noise outdoors. There’s also a low-cut filter and a +10 dB gain setting for adjusting the signal to the recording situation. The result is a small, self-powered microphone with useful controls and monitoring built in, rather than just a capsule mounted on the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eWhy it is useful\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOmnidirectional condenser pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e The microphone captures sound around it, which suits spoken audio recorded alongside the surrounding ambience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot-shoe mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attach it to a compatible camera’s hot shoe to keep the microphone on the camera while filming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput for a second microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect an additional microphone with a 3.5mm male cable when you want to record sound from another position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone monitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e The headphone socket lets you listen to the audio feed as you record, so you can keep track of what the camera is capturing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-cut filter and +10 dB gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the filter to reduce low-frequency rumble from wind or voice vibrations, or select the gain setting to boost the audio signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWindscreen included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fit the supplied cover to reduce wind noise during outdoor recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 grams is light enough that the SR-M3 won’t add much weight to a camera setup. I’d recommend it to someone filming interviews or short video pieces who wants to hear the surroundings as well as the speaker: its omnidirectional pickup is the important detail to keep in mind. For a breezy outdoor clip, fit the supplied windscreen and use the low-cut filter to reduce wind rumble. The +10 dB setting is there when you need to raise the signal, while the headphone socket gives you a way to monitor the recording as it happens. It runs on one AAA battery, which isn’t included, so you’ll need to provide that yourself. Remember, too, that this is not a narrowly focused microphone; it records sound from around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"extra\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone measures 140 × 58 × 41 mm, useful to factor in when packing a small camera bag.

A female 1\/4-inch thread on the base provides another mounting option, for a tripod or boom pole with a matching connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaramonic SR-M3 microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindscreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Saramonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: SR-M3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Condenser directional microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup pattern: Omnidirectional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 75 Hz–18 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: −37 dB ±1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 75 dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone connection: 3.5mm mini-jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: One AAA battery, not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: Camera hot shoe; female 1\/4-inch thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 140 × 58 × 41 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 30 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saramonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478614286676,"sku":"189446","price":37.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/189446_01.jpg?v=1791469666","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/saramonic-mini-condensator-directional-microphone-sr-m3","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
