Description: Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video MicrophoneSKU: AZSMX30Mfr. Part: SMX-30 Item IncludesAzden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Microphone - Foam Windscreen - Azden 10 Year Limited Warranty with Registration DescriptionExperience the ultimate in video audio capture with the SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Microphone. This top-tier, camera-mounted microphone has been meticulously engineered to deliver superior audio quality, with an appealing design and ergonomic form factor. The SMX-30 is equipped with both stereo and mono recording modes, offering flexibility and versatility in a single device. The stereo microphone features two cardioid polar pattern microphone elements, spaced apart at a 120-degree angle, ensuring a natural-sounding stereo image. The mono microphone, on the other hand, employs a super-cardioid polar pattern to focus on sound in front of the camera, capturing broadcast-quality sound with the same high-quality element as Azden's SGM-250 shotgun microphone. The SMX-30 microphone offers level adjustments of -10dB, 0dB, and +20dB. The +20dB gain booster is designed to alleviate noise produced by low-quality camera preamps, ensuring a strong, clean audio signal. The -10dB pad is perfect for loud sound environments, protecting against distortion when recording at live concerts or motorsport events. This microphone boasts a wide frequency response, ranging from 40Hz to 20kHz, capturing audio that sounds full and natural. A selectable low-cut filter at 120Hz, 3dB/octave is included, which is ideal for reducing low-frequency noise caused by air conditioners, wind, and traffic. The SMX-30 operates on two AA batteries, offering a cost-effective power solution. It can achieve 24 hours of operation with a single set of batteries without any degradation of sound quality. An integrated battery indicator LED light provides up to a 1-hour warning before battery replacement is needed. The SMX-30 also features an innovative "Auto" power setting. When set to Auto, the microphone can detect when a camera is on and will automatically power on and off with the camera, maximizing battery life and eliminating the risk of dead batteries due to accidental left-on situations. The microphone comes with a custom, detachable foam windscreen and an integrated shock-absorbing shoe-mount with a 1/4"-20 thread. This design isolates the microphone from camera motor and handling noise and allows for mounting to boom poles and other camera accessories. In summary, the SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Microphone is a versatile, high-quality audio solution for any videographer, offering superior sound capture, flexible recording modes, and convenient features for optimal operation.FeaturesStereo/Mono switchable video microphone for versatile audio captureFeatures +20dB gain booster and -10dB pad for optimal sound quality in various environmentsWide frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz for full and natural sound captureLow-cut filter selectable at 120Hz for reducing low-frequency noisePowered by two AA batteries with an innovative "Auto" power setting for energy efficiencyIntegrated shock-absorbing shoe-mount for reduced handling noise and easy mounting to camera accessoriesSpecificationsPolar PatternMono: Super-Cardioid Stereo: Cardioid (120 deg.)Freq Resp40Hz - 20kHzSensitivity-36dB at 1kHzDyn Range118dBS/N Ratio82dB, 1kHz at 1PaMax Input Level130dB SPL (1kHz at 1% T.H.D.)Max Output Level+6.2dBuOutput Impedance50OhmsPower Requirements2x AA batteriesOutput Connectors3.5mm Stereo Mini PlugPower SwitchOff, Battery, AutoGain Control-10dB, 0dB, +20dBLCF120Hz, 3dB/octaveDimensions (L x W x H)45 x 107 x 145mm / 1.77 x 4.21 x 5.71"Weight145g / 5oz WHO WE ARE Adorama is one of the nation's largest Photographic retail and mail order suppliers.
