AZDEN Stereo monaural mix microphone SMX-30V

A new microphone that can match video and sound images The SMX-30V is a microphone that combines two microphones, stereo and monaural, and can further adjust the ratio of the two sounds. With a single volume knob, you can finely adjust the ratio of the two sounds from stereo to monaural or from monaural to stereo at a constant volume, allowing you to create sounds that match your visual and auditory senses by controlling the audio while watching the video. It will be possible. While accurately capturing the subject's voice in monaural, it also picks up the background sounds in the video in stereo to enhance the sense of presence. Even in shooting scenes suitable for stereo recording, when too much surrounding sound is being picked up, adding monaural sound can tighten up the sound image. In today's video production sites, where there are many constraints such as the number of people filming and the time available, the SMX-30V is a new microphone that allows you to create creative sound without compromise, allowing you to improve the matching of video and sound without the need for a mixer or editing work. .

When the subject or musical instrument is at the edge of the screen, the oscillating mechanism allows the microphone body to move approximately 30 degrees to the left or right, ensuring that the microphone is directed toward the center of the subject to capture more focused sound. can do.

By improving the circuit configuration during the development process of the stereo monaural mix function, continuous operation with two batteries has been dramatically improved from 24 hours of the previous model to approximately 100 hours. Also, the LED light will turn off when the remaining battery power is less than 1 hour.

Low-cut switch Attenuates low frequency levels below 60Hz to reduce noise such as air conditioning, wind, and traffic noise.

Uniquely developed power supply "Auto" mode By connecting to a camera, it automatically detects whether the camera is turned on or off, and the microphone is also linked to switch battery power on and off, preventing battery consumption due to forgetting to turn off the power.

3-stage gain control Gain is 3-stage switchable: +20dB/0dB/-10dB. In quiet environments such as indoor interviews, reduce the gain on the camera side and select +20dB to minimize noise from the camera's preamplifier. Distortion can be suppressed by selecting -10dB when collecting sound in a lively environment such as a concert or sporting event.

Shock mount with excellent vibration isolation A shock mount with a unique structure reliably reduces vibrations and noise that occur during shooting. You can attach it to a tripod or boom pole using the 1/4 inch female thread on the bottom of the camera mounting shoe mount. By firmly fixing the cable to the cable stop on the shock mount, you can reduce the noise generated when contact occurs.

Detachable cable Newly adopted detachable curl cord type cable. Corrected when the microphone and camera microphone terminal are separated from each other when using a rig, etc.
