Saramonic SmartMic+ Overview

Record broadcast-quality sound straight to your iOS smartphone or tablet with the Saramonic SmartMic+ Di; a compact directional microphone that connects directly to your mobile device's Lightning port without the hassle of cabling. Ideal for vlogging, live streaming, and mobile video production, the SmartMic+ Di features a lightweight and durable metal housing, which can be oriented to match the direction of your front- or rear-facing camera. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, this mic requires no batteries or charging; just plug it in, open your favorite recording app, and then go!

The condenser capsule delivers a tailored-for-speech frequency response of 75 Hz to 20 kHz, and utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to provide focused sound pickup with reduced ambience. To attenuate wind noise and protect the mic from dust whether shooting indoors or outside, foam and furry windscreens are included. In addition to the Lightning male plug for connecting to your recording device, the SmartMic+ Di has a 3.5mm TRS headphone port, allowing you to monitor audio without having to disconnect the mic.

Provides broadcast-quality sound to Lightning-equipped iPhones and iPads by plugging into your mobile device's Lightning port when shooting video, recording audio, live streaming, vlogging, podcasting, and more
Directional cardioid pickup pattern clearly captures sounds in front of the mic while rejecting sounds to the sides and rear
Can be positioned facing forward when using the selfie camera, or facing outward for standard shooting
Metal housing is lightweight, compact, and ultra-portable while maintaining durability
Simple plug-and-play usage; never requires batteries or charging
3.5mm headphone jack for real-time monitoring while making recordings (app dependent) and listening to playback without removing the microphone
Included snug-fitting foam windscreen for indoor use and furry windscreen for outdoor use; each reduces wind noise, and protects the capsule from dust and dirt

Saramonic SmartMic+ Reviews

Modest iPhone Shotgun Mic

By Alex
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-14

If you are looking for a simple to use shotgun mic for your iPhone look no further. Just plug in and hit record. It comes with a wind guard and a foam cover. The sound is a modest improvement over your iPhone's built in mic, and does a good job of leaving out any environmental noises. To be clear, there are better ways to get good audio on an iPhone video including a wireless lav mic or a more expensive shotgun mic. For the money, this is a nice solution that may work for some users who are not demanding a lot from an iPhone mic.

Works Great

I have an iPhone 11 Pro and an osmo mobile 3. I’m expanding my real estate photography into video. I need an easy light portable microphone to use that works with gimbal. Suggestions?
Asked by: Donald
It is well made, but for my purposes I ended up purchasing a Shure MV88 Microphone to replace this microphone. The Shure comes in two different varieties (MV88 & MV88+), both are more expensive than the Saramonic Microphone.

Saramonic SmartMic+ Di WHAT DOES "DI" MEANS?
Asked by: Gino
Saramonic does not specifically define what "Di" stands for in the name of the Saramonic SmartMic+ Di Compact Directional Microphone with Lightning Plug for iOS Mobile Devices. It could be assumed that the "Di" indicates "directional" in this case.

Can you attach the mic to an iPhone with a thin case on it?

I have an Incipio Dualpro case and the mic plugs in fine facing either front or back.
