I was really looking forward to this purchase, but somewhat disappointed in using this device. My suggestion is buyer be where! This device is not either grounded or properly insulated. If you need to make any adjustments while shooting you can hear every touch, and as you know went shooting video that’s not good. I would also ask for better volume control. It is well design in terms of what is is made of!!!

Really great gear!!!

Went through a number of other products that were not compatible with applications where we were needing external audio. This was the first device we came across that worked as we had hoped. It works very well, provides clean audio, appropriate levels both to and return. Allows for phantom power and is small enough not to be too cumbersome. We are using this mainly for Comrex Field Tap but also for Facebook Live and Skype. Some other devices we tried only worked with proprietary recording apps.

Excellent Mixer

Well-built, well-designed, solid mixer. The battery is long-lasting, and the headphone output & pan pots are excellent. ONE NOTE: I discovered that the supplied carrying case is a snug fit, and can change your switch settings. I lost audio for 1 take, and that was my fault for not double-checking. Two thumbs up.

Lots of uses for such a small size

I am using this Saramonic to broadcast my church's Bible Study and Sunday Service on Facebook. I have used it a couple of times for family video on my Samsung Note 10, it is very easy to use. The sound quality is quite exceptional, I have not had the opportunity to use it with multiple microphones so I can't comment on that portion of it. to use it with my Samsung I also use the USB-C adapter. Very Happy with my purchase

Works but problematic

Couldn't get it to work off a mixer or tracks out of a Mac. Tone off the mixer didn't transfer well. No bass or mid tones; just very high treble. finally got it to work but not by following the instructions.

Does the headphone out need a cell phone app or does it work without a cell phone?
Asked by: Michael
Per Saramonic's manual, the output on this is for audio from the phone only. Most audio recording apps support monitoring, but many video recording apps do not. http://www.saramonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/SmartRig-user-manual.pdf For video, I would recommend considering filmic pro.

Will this work with a electret mic and a camcorder without plug-in power?
Asked by: Kay Heem
I&rsquo;m not sure what you mean by an electret mic. You need a mic with either a 1/4 inch plug or xlr. Your camcorder needs to have a trrs jack. If not it will not work.

question

How long is battery life with this unit?
Asked by: Marcelo
Well, I have been using it for more than 8 hours, and the battery is still working. But I dont use the 48v phantom power from the Saramonic, cause I have an electret Sennheiser with its own battery.

Is this a preamp?
Asked by: Carlos
I would define it as an audio interface. I use it to plug guitar and/or microphone. It will work with audio apps on a phone or other device by plugging it into the headphone jack. It also will work with cameras that have the compatible input jack (headphone size jack that can support a microphone.) It does have phantom power for condenser mic. I hope that answers your question. I am very happy with mine and use it often to record anywhere I want without the need of a power source as long as my phone or device is charged up. It captures whatever you plug into it cleanly and perfectly.
