Product ReviewsAzden SMX-30 Stereo Mono Swichable video Microphone

A most practical option, quality without hassle

superb, almost perfect. At a lower price, this does everything, sounds great. It's much more practical than some multiple-part approach like separate stereo vs mono mics or a separate preamp etc. It's not perfect but it's very good and very *practical*.

I only wish to ever get an SMX-30V which has a blend knob instead of toggle between stereo and mono. But that's less widely found for a good price, and I can't justify the expense until the day I upgrade to a camera with a headphone jack to actually hear how much blend I'd want.Read full review...

Wrong Purchase

Great mic for a DSLR or consumer video Cam. I got it for its features: Mono-Stereo; Low Cut Filter; dB gain/loss and the auto battery Fantastic for it's price range, You have to go up to a Rode NT4+ and still not get all that.

But I had to send it back. I have a Canon XA 30 pro video cam and the 3.5mm jack/input wasn't totally compatible. I thought it was a bad mic but the culprit was me. I'm taking a close look at the Rode NT4+.Read full review...

Really liking it so far

I love the Auto feature.
The +20db is almost too loud for the GH5 even at -12 in the camera so i just keep both at 0 and that seems to work so far.

Отличное качество звука и среднее качество изготовления

Выполняет свою основную функцию - отлично пишет звук! Но вот качество самого корпуса не порадовало... хлипкие переключатели с люфтом, пластиковое крепление-башмак.
