If you’re looking to get a better sound out of your DSLR or mirrorless camera, consider the Saramonic SR-XM1, an unobtrusive unidirectional microphone that plugs directly into your device’s 3.5mm TRS jack and secures a crystal clear broadcast sound. With its tiny form factor and integrated swivel for easy positioning, the mic is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including mobile journalism and run-and-gun filming. 

The unidirectional polar pattern provides a focused audio capture, greatly diminishing unwanted ambiance while focusing intently on whatever is in front of the mic. The built-in shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted handling noise. The SR-XM1 is compatible with a wide array of Saramonic gear, including UWMIC9, UWMIC10, and UWMIC15 transmitters as well as the SmartRig+ Series and LavMic.  A foam windscreen is included.

The SR-XM1 features an integrated swivel, so it can easily be pointed directly at the sound you want to capture. Its unidirectional pickup pattern provides smooth and even sounding audio, and its built-in shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted vibration and handling noise. Not only is this microphone ultracompact and lightweight, it also never needs batteries or charging.

This mic is easy to use: plug it into your equipment, and it's good to go. A built-in swivel allows you to point it at the sound you want to capture.

In addition to its uses with Saramonic gear and compatible cameras, the SR-XM1 can also connect to microphone inputs on a wide variety of equipment. You can attach it to portable audio recorders, mixers, and it can even be used as a high-quality microphone for the GoPro Hero5, Hero5 Session, Hero6, and Hero7 action cameras when you use it with the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (available separately).

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I want to be able to conduct a traditional two person interview, but have the audio recorded on separate tracks/ channels. With that being said. would this work well with the Saramonic Blink 500 B2 2-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System?

A: Since the Blink 500 B2 sums the 2 mics into a dual mono mix, adding a SR-AX100 will not split it for you. You could purchase 2x Blink 500 B1 systems and the SR-AX100 and get each person on seperate tracks. You could even do that with a simple wire adapter instead of the SR-AX100, but the SR-AX100 will give you individual level control. If you already own the Blink 500 B2, you can add a Blink 500 RX to the system and get the same result. I hope that helps and isn't too confusing.

Q: 2. Does this work with the Rode VideoMic GO Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone?

A: This will not work with mics that require plug-in power such as the VideoMic Go. A mic with a battery power option would be recommended, such as the Rode VideoMic B&H # ROVMR.

Q: 8. Does this come with a stereo mini cable?

Q: 9. Can I plug a stereo plug into the mono input? I have two Saramonic UwMic9s receivers, and want to connect one to each of the mono inputs.

A: As the Saramonic UwMic9s is outputting a true stereo signal, and the L/R inputs on the Saramonic SR-AX100 Passive 2-Channel Audio Adapter for DSLR Cameras are mono, there is a strong chance that each mono input of the SR-AX100 will only pass one side of the signal received by the UwMic9s through the device to the camera, eliminating one of the transmitter signals at this stage.

Q: 10. How would this work with the Comica Audio BoomX-D D2 being that it seperates the audio to left and right anyway?

A: If you wanted separate level control over the left and right out of the Boom XD, you would set the receiver to stereo out and plug it into the stereo input of this mixer. Then you could use the separate volume controls to adjust each level individually.
