Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Mic & Furry Windshield Cover Kit 




The Azden SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Mic & Furry Windshield Cover Kit from B&H includes a battery-powered Azden SMX-30 shotgun-style microphone with a 1/8" stereo mini jack, a foam windscreen, and an Azden SWS-30 furry windshield cover. It can be used on DSLRs and other compact cameras for capturing audio in outdoor and indoor environments.

Housed inside an innovative casing, the SMX-30 is actually two microphones packaged into one. It consists of two cardioid-polar-pattern mic elements spaced apart at a 120° angle for capturing a natural-sounding stereo image. The mono microphone uses a supercardioid polar pattern to focus on sound in front of the camera and has the same element as Azden's SGM-250 shotgun microphone to record broadcast-quality sound.

Furthermore, the furry windshield cover was designed to provide maximum protection against wind noise and is made to slip over the included SMX-30's foam windscreen. It delivers acoustically transparent results.

SMX-30 Stereo/Mono Switchable Video Mic & Furry Windshield Cover Kit is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trying to survive with modern hardware from Nice mic for DSLR I purchased this for use on a new Pentax K3. I did some field testing with 2 sopranos, at about 15 foot distance, using the stereo xy mics vs the mono shotgun mic, and even with two singers closely positioned, the greater ambience of the xy mic is apparent. The mono mic had the same quality of sound, just located in the center of the sound field and without depth. The +20db boost feature at that distance with 2 voices was almost too much for the camera input, setting the camera record level at 3 to prevent saturation (the upper range is 20), and setting the mic to +0db allowed me to raise the camera input to 8 and the sound quality was indistinguishable. For other settings, the +20db output of the mic will be an excellent feature.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pastor Vic from +20dB gives great clean recordings WOW, what a great, versitile mic. I love that you can switch from stereo to shotgun on the fly. Turn off your in camera recording gain and set the Azden SMX30 to +20dB for amazing, clean recordings. Investing in the furry wind screen gives great quality even on on a windy day.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michaeld from ok for the money stereo mic too wide.............says 120 degrees, but wider. picks up ambient sounds. mono mic not powerful enough
