The Saramonic SmartMic5 Unidirectional Micro-Shotgun Mic is a high-performance microphone designed for on-the-go content creators, vloggers, and videographers who demand professional sound quality. Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, this microphone provides exceptional directional sound capture for clear, high-quality audio recordings in virtually any environment. The SmartMic5 is available in three variants: the SmartMic5 with a Lightning connector for Apple devices, SmartMic5 UC with a USB-C connector for Android and other USB-C compatible devices, and the SmartMic5S with a 3.5mm TRRS output for mobile devices.

These variants allow users to enjoy superior sound no matter their platform, whether it’s iOS, Android, or other mobile devices. The SmartMic5 series is perfect for those looking for high-quality, portable audio recording solutions.

With a sleek, minimalist design, the SmartMic5 easily clips onto your smartphone, tablet, or other portable devices without the need for complicated setups or additional equipment.

Whether you’re recording interviews, podcasts, or videos, the SmartMic5 delivers exceptional clarity and reduces background noise, ensuring your content sounds professional every time.

Both variants feature a 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring, ensuring that your recordings are free from distortion and are perfectly balanced. Powered directly through the connected device, no additional batteries are required. Compatible with iOS, Android, and other mobile devices, the SmartMic5 makes high-quality audio recording easy without compromising sound quality.

The main difference between the three models is the connector type:

• The SmartMic5 with Lightning is designed specifically for Apple devices.
