Saramonic SoundBird Professional Shotgun Microphones

The Saramonic SoundBird series offers three professional shotgun microphones—T3, V1, and V6—designed for exceptional audio clarity in a variety of environments. Whether you’re recording podcasts, shooting films, or working on sound design, these microphones provide highly directional sound capture to help you isolate the audio you need. Each model is built with precision engineering and includes key features like shock mounts, high-pass filters, and wind protection to minimize unwanted noise. The SoundBird series ensures clear, focused sound, whether you’re recording indoors, outdoors, or on-location in challenging conditions.

The SoundBird T3 is a versatile cardioid microphone with both lithium-ion battery power and 48V phantom power options. Offering features like a high-frequency boost, low-cut filter, and a 10dB pad, the T3 excels in providing clean, professional-grade sound with ease. The SoundBird V1 is a supercardioid shotgun microphone, offering superior isolation from background noise. It can be powered by either an AA battery or phantom power, and its compact design makes it perfect for mobile setups.

With a supercardioid polar pattern and furry windshield included, the V6 provides the ultimate in clarity for outdoor recordings or fieldwork in noisy environments.

Each model in the SoundBird series comes equipped with everything you need for a complete, professional setup. The T3 includes a rechargeable battery and a custom hard case, while the V1 and V6 come with high-quality XLR cables, shock mounts, and foam windscreens. The V6 model goes a step further with a furry windshield for wind noise protection. All microphones are lightweight and durable, ensuring that your gear stays safe and ready for any recording situation, whether you’re in the studio or on the go.

For professionals seeking top-quality sound with minimal setup, the SoundBird T3, V1, and V6 microphones offer the performance and flexibility required to get the job done.
