Saramonic SmartMic5 Di Super-long Unidirectional Microphone for Lightning iOS Devices

Record broadcast-quality sound with less background noise straight to your iPhone or iPad with the Saramonic SmartMic5 Di, a mini shotgun microphone that connects directly to the Lightning port of your iOS mobile device without the hassle of cabling. Ideal for vlogging, live streaming, and mobile video production, the SmartMic5 Di features a lightweight and durable housing, which offers 180° of adjustable positioning for optimal orientation to your sound source. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, this mic requires no batteries or charging; just plug it in, open your favorite app, and then go!

The condenser capsule delivers a tailored-for-speech frequency response of 75 Hz to 16 kHz, and utilizes a 2.36" long interference tube in combination with a unidirectional condenser element to provide focused sound pickup with reduced ambience at greater distances than allowed by your device's built-in mic. The integral shockmount isolates the mic from vibration and device handling noise. To attenuate wind noise and protect the mic from dust whether shooting indoors or outside, foam and furry windscreens are included.

Quality Sound for Online Video

The SmartMic5 Di delivers focused, broadcast-quality sound to iPhones and iPads with Lightning ports; it's perfect for vlogging, YouTube videos, live streaming, posting updates on Instagram or TikTok, and more.

Versatile Positioning

Thanks to 180° adjustable positioning, it's easy to point the mic at the sound you want to capture. The integrated shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted vibration and handling noise.

Mini Shotgun Form Factor

By utilizing a 2.36 x 0.43" interference tube and a unidirectional polar pattern, the SmartMic5 Di is able to focus on the sound in front of the microphone while attenuating sounds from the sides and rear. This lets your video viewers and social media followers focus on your message and not the background noise. The longer interference tube also allows you to move farther away from the microphone and still get a detailed and full-frequency sound.

Plug-and-Play Operation

Not only is the SmartMic5 Di ultracompact and lightweight, it also never needs batteries or charging because it is powered through the connection to your device. Just plug the mic's MFi-Certified Lightning connector into your device and start recording.

Wind Protection

The mic is supplied with two forms of wind protection—a foam windscreen for use indoors or during light-wind outdoor shoots, and a furry windshield for locations with stronger gusts.
