The Saramonic Vmic vs. the Saramonic Vmic Pro vs. Vmic Stereo
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. The sensitivity has also been improved, from -40dB compared to -30dB +/- 1dB / 0dB = 1V / Pa, 1kHz. The Vmic Stereo, on the other hand, has two microphone capsules X / Y for recording stereo sound.
Application
The Vmic Stereo is indispensable for general sound recording in both your studio and on location. With the supplied windshield, the Vmic 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. The high frequency boost improves the audibility of the voice. To assess the sound quality live, you can connect headphones directly to the Vmic.
