Azden SMX-30 Stereo and Mono Microphone

The Azden SMX-30 Stereo and Mono Microphone offers improved audio recording, better sound control, and is engineered specifically for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and camcorders. It is perfect for video shooters and bloggers who want to enhance the audio of their productions

Versatile Two-in-One Microphone

The innovative design of the SMX-30 features two microphones packaged in a single casing. The option to switch between stereo & mono modes offers greater audio flexibility without having to carry two separate mics. Recording can be switched easily between mono and stereo recording modes on the fly.

Stereo Cardioid Recording

The stereo microphone is positioned at the top and consists of 2 cardioid polar pattern microphone elements spaced apart at a 120° angle for capturing immersive and natural sounding stereo sound.

Mono Option

The mono microphone uses a super-cardioid pattern to focus on sound in front of the camera and minimises the capture of extra noise from the surrounding environment. The mono microphone of the Azden SMX-30 can record broadcast quality sound.

Gain Enhancement

A gain booster lets you increase your recorded signal by +20dB to provide strong and clean audio, which prevents your cameras low quality audio preamp from trying to boost the signal which often results in a loud hiss and degraded audio quality .

Distortion Control

For recording in loud noisy situations, such as in a music concert or sporting event, the mic features a -10 dB pad to protect against overload distortion.

Wide Frequency Response

The SMX-30 has a wide frequency response ranging from 40Hz to 20kHz allowing you to capture sounds that are full and natural.

Low-Cut Filter

A low-cut switch allows the reduction of low frequencies below 120 Hz to unwanted noise caused by air conditioners, light wind and distant traffic.

Auto Power Mode

The “Auto” power setting is a fail safe way to ensure the battery does not drain if you forget to turn-off the microphone. When set to the Auto mode*, the microphone can detect when a camera is on and will automatically power on and off with the camera.

Integrated Shock Absorber

An integrated shock absorbing shoe mount effectively isolates the microphone from camera auto focus motor sounds and handling noise. The mount fits a standard camera shoe and can also be mounted to boom poles and other camera accessories using a 1/4” thread on the bottom.

Power by AA Batteries

The Azden SMX 30 Stereo/Mono Microphone is powered by readily available and affordable AA batteries. A single set of 2 AA batteries can provide up to 24 hours of operation with no sound quality degradation. A convenient LED indicator lets you know when battery change is required.
