Designed to help vloggers, content creators, mobile journalists, and run-and-gun videographers achieve realistic, immersive stereo audio capture for their video shoots, the compact and lightweight Saramonic Vmic Stereo Mark II camera-mount stereo condenser microphone combines dual cardioid capsules in an X/Y array, onboard controls for level and tone adjustments, and convenient headphone monitoring. Its integrated shockmount allows easy mounting on a camera shoe or tripod while inhibiting vibrations and handling noise, and a coiled TRS cable is supplied for orderly wiring between the mic and your camera or portable recorder.
By operating on AA batteries (available separately), the Vmic Stereo Mark II is able to work with cameras that don't supply plug-in power or phantom power. Plus, you can just swap batteries and skip the time needed to recharge internal batteries. The rear of the mic features onboard controls for the 3-stage gain adjustment, high-pass filter, and treble boost—helpful functions that let you optimize the signal quality at the mic instead of during postproduction. The mic comes with a foam windscreen, which reduces noise from mild breezes, fans, and more.
It features two high-quality cardioid capsules in a stereo X/Y configuration to allow the mic to reproduce a true stereo image in a compact camera-mount form. It also features ultralow noise electronics and versatile features that make it easy to optimize your sound for any scenario.
A 150 Hz high-pass filter eliminates low-frequency noise and rumble caused by HVAC systems, wind, or footsteps that can ruin a recording. A +6 dB high-frequency boost enhances vocal intelligibility and compensates for lost frequencies when using a furry windscreen, like the VMIC-WS-S (available separately). All the controls are easy to use and easy to see, even in low-light conditions.
