1 Product Introduction
1.1 General Introductions
The Saramonic Vmic Pro is a super directional video condenser
microphone that provides professional audio for DSLR cameras and
camcorders. The Vmic Pro allows you to adjust level control (-10dB,
0dB, +20dB), high-pass filter (150 Hz) and high-frequency boost
(+6dB) to increase intelligibility of dialogue. The detachable 3.5mm
cable connects the Vmic Pro to your camera's audio input, while the
stereo headphone output allows you to monitor the incoming audio.
The Saramonic special designed shock mount system provides
isolation from vibration and mechanical noise.

2.2 Attach the Vmic Pro to the hot shoe of your camera or camcorder.
Connect the supplied audio transmission line from the audio output of Vmic
Pro to the MIC input of the camera or camcorder.
2.3 Turn on your camera and long press the power button to turn
the Vmic Pro on, the LED indicator will turn green. When the battery
power is low, the LED indicator will turn red.
2.4 Adjust the level control according to your needs.
The -10dB level: ideal for recording loud sound sources, such as live
music, motorsport, or interviews where the subject is very close to
the camera.
The +20dB level boost: For use with DSLR cameras, allowing the
user to reduce the camera's preamp level (or mic-input level),
effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's
comparatively low quality audio circuitry.
2.5 Plug a headphone to the headphone output of the Vmic Pro, then
you can monitor the audio.
We suggest you could do a test recording and playback the audio to
see if it is acceptable.
