Very Versatile Use

Ergonomic switches located on the rear of the housing allow you to quickly and conveniently activate additional microphone functions to improve the quality of your recordings. If necessary, you can use a higher input level (+10 dB), as well as activate a high-pass filter (150 Hz), which will effectively suppress unwanted frequencies interfering with sound recording.

On the housing of the Saramonic Vmic5 condenser microphone, there is a 3.5mm mini jack socket to which you can easily connect them. Monitoring is done in real-time, so it is not accompanied by any delays and unpleasant echo.
