1 Product Introduction
1.1 General Introductions
The Saramonic Vmic Stereo is a stereo cardioid condenser
microphone that provides professional audio for DSLR cameras and
camcorders. The left and right microphone capsules record
high-quality stereo sound into your cameras and camcorders.
The Vmic Stereo allows you to adjust level control (-10dB, 0dB,
+20dB), high-pass filter (150 Hz) and high-frequency boost (+6dB) to

connects the Vmic Stereo to your camera's audio input, while the
stereo headphone output allows you to monitor the incoming audio.
The Saramonic specially designed shock mount system provides
isolation from vibration and mechanical noise.

2.2 Attach the Vmic Stereo to the hot shoe of your camera or
camcorder. Connect the supplied audio transmission cable from
the audio output of Vmic Stereo to the MIC input of the camera
or camcorder.
2.3 Turn on the Vmic Stereo, 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 Stereo,
to monitor the audio.
We suggest you could do a test recording and playback the audio
to see if it is acceptable.
