The Saramonic Vmic Mark II is a battery-powered directional on-camera shotgun microphone that delivers detailed, broadcast-quality sound to DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, video cameras, recorders and more. Ideal for content creators, filmmakers, journalists and vloggers looking to take a big step up in quality from internal camera microphones. It features a directional cardioid polar pattern that focuses on sound in front of it while attenuating sound from the sides and rear and ultra-low noise electronics delivering detailed high-quality sound. It also includes a versatile array of thoughtful features that make it easy to optimise your sound for a wide range of shooting scenarios and outperforms competing products that are considerably more expensive. High-Quality Sound and Enhanced Control The Vmic Mark II features an array of selectable audio controls allowing users to tailor the mic’s sound and performance to always get optimum sound. It features a 3-stage gain control with a +20dB boost switch for achieving ultra-clean gain on cameras with noisy preamps, 0dB for high-quality preamps, and -10dB pad for cleanly capturing loud sounds without distortion. A 150Hz high-pass filter eliminates low-frequency noise and rumble caused by HVAC systems, wind or footsteps that can ruin a recording. A +6dB high-frequency boost enhances vocal intelligibility and compensates for lost frequencies when using a furry windscreen, like the VMIC-WS (sold separately). All of the controls are easy to use and easy to see, even in low light conditions.
