With the SMX-30 you’ve always got the right microphone for the job. That’s because it is both a stereo microphone and a mono-shotgun microphone, allowing you to switch between the two on the fly.
So for the price of a single microphone you’re actually getting two. Talk about bang for your buck!
Plus with other great features like gain control, auto-on, a low cut filter, and of course awesome sound quality, the SMX-30 is sure to be a microphone you’ll always want to keep in your gear bag.
It's a Stereo Microphone
Use the stereo mode to capture rich, immersive audio that enhances the scene you're shooting. Great for nature scenes, musical performances, or any kind of action video.
Use the shotgun mic for focused dialogue capture, or the stereo mic for natural sound. Switchable on the fly.
Reduces low-frequency noise. A helpful tool for mitigating noise from HVAC systems or wind.
Add 20 dB of gain, great for overcoming noisy mic preamps. Or reduce the gain by 10 dB to protect against distortion in loud environments.
Setting to AUTO will turn the microphone on and off with your camera automatically, saving you from losing a great take and conserving battery.
