The SMX-15 is a powered shotgun microphone designed for superior audio capture in video settings, compatible with DSLR and compact cameras. Utilizing the same technology as Azden's professional models, it delivers broadcast-quality sound through its super-cardioid polar pattern.
Featuring a built-in +20dB gain booster, the SMX-15 enhances audio clarity while minimizing unwanted noise from the surrounding environment. For dynamic recording situations, it includes a -10dB pad to prevent distortion in loud settings.
The microphone offers a frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz, ensuring rich, full sound reproduction. With a low-cut filter switch, it effectively reduces lower frequencies below 120Hz to eliminate unwanted background noise.
The SMX-15 operates on two AA batteries, providing up to 24 hours of use without sacrificing sound quality. An LED battery indicator alerts users when it's time for a change, while the unique 'Auto' power setting allows the microphone to turn on and off automatically with the camera.
Additionally, it features an integrated shock-absorbing shoe mount that reduces handling noise and isolates the microphone from camera vibrations. This mount fits standard camera shoes and includes a ¼â€-20 thread for versatile mounting options.
