The Saramonic Vmic vs. the Saramonic Vmic Pro
The Pro version of the Vmic can handle bass better; sound is recorded from 20 Hz compared to 35 Hz of the non-pro version. Sensitivity has also been improved, from -40dB compared to -30dB +/- 1dB / 0dB = 1V / Pa, 1kHz.
Application
The Vmic Pro is indispensable for general sound recording in your studio and on location. With the included windshield, the Vmic Pro can also be used outdoors. Optionally, you can adjust the level to -10 dB or +20 dB with a switch. There is also a low-cut filter to filter out sounds with a frequency lower than 150 Hz. With the high frequency boost you improve the audibility of the voice. To assess the sound quality live, you can connect headphones directly to the Vmic.
