The Saramonic SR-XM1 is an ultra-compact condenser microphone that captures crystal clear broadcast-quality sound, even though it weighs less than an ounce. It was designed to be plugged directly into the 1/8” (3.5mm) Microphone Input on DSLR, Mirrorless and Video cameras to add a low-profile yet high-quality microphone and drastically improve the sound over those camera’s included microphone. In addition, it’s compatible with the Saramonic UWMIC9, UWMIC10, and UWMIC15 transmitters as well as the SmartRig+ series and LavMic. The SR-XM1 is also the replacement microphone accessory for the CaMixer and SmartMixer.. . The SR-XM1 features an integrated swivel, so it can easily be pointed directly at the sound you want to capture. Its omnidirectional pickup pattern provides smooth and even sounding audio, and its built-in shockmount helps you avoid recording unwanted vibration and handling noise. Not only is this microphone ultra-compact and lightweight, it also never needs batteries or charging. . . In addition to being used with cameras and Saramonic gear, the SR-XM1 is also compatible with 1/8“ (3.5mm) microphone inputs on a wide variety of equipment. You can attach it to portable audio recorders, mixers, and it can even be used as a high-quality microphone for the GoPro Hero5, Hero5 Session, Hero6, and Hero7 action cameras when you use it with the GoPro Pro 3.5mm Mic Adapter (sold separately)..

Product Manuals
Q: Will this work on an LGV30 Android Phone?
A: As long as the phone has a stereo 3.5mm female mic. input jack, it should work. I use it with a 6 foot female to male patch cord plugged into the Mic. jack on my desktop PC. It works fine.
Q: does it work on a cell phone?
A: Yes! it does I highly recommended, at first I was a bit sceptical because the sound wasn't good but after I gave it a slight push into the input it worked fine., I use it on my cell phone and Sony mirrorless camera it is my go-to for video recording.
Q: Will this work on a PS4 controller
A: No, not without a 3.5mm TRRS Splitter. I would not recommend it unless you already have a proper splitter. Startech makes one, called the StarTech Headset Adapter, Microphone and Headphone Splitter
Q: Will this works with Go pro 7/8/9?
A: It work with my Hero 8 using the media mod
Q: Will this work for a pocket talker?
A: If you are asking about the Williams Sound Pocket Talker, YES. While the Pocket Talker only has a mono TRS input, the SR-XM1 will still work with its TRS connection.
Q: Is it a TRS mic compatible with the UGREEN external soundcard?
A: I cannot find the information in the spec from UGREEN, but I did find this quote from UGREEN support: "Sorry that this item cannot power mic." So will have to say no, but I would contact UGREEN support and ask them if the sound card features "plug-in power" to microphones.
Q: Will the mic work on an older iPad into the Headphone jack for live-streaming sound in Facebook live
A: There are two versions of the Saramonic microphone that look very similar. This one is designed for an iPad's headphone jack: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/saramonic-smartmic-condenser-microphone/6124844.p?skuId=6124844 Saramonic - SmartMic Condenser Microphone Model:SMARTMIC SKU:6124844 The difference is in the connection. The SmartMic has a TRRS tip (notice 3 black bands) while the the other one only has TRS (2 black bands). You can usually get a TRS plug to work in an iPad but the TRRS won't work if you plug it into a dedicated microphone input (like on a digital camera or audio recording device). TRRS allows for your headphones with a built in microphone to send data back and forth on devices with an audio port (both mic and headphone in one jack). So, if you only plan on using the microphone with your iPad, and not a digital camera or device with a mic only input, then the microphone I mention above is your best bet. If you want something that could be used on an iPad and a camera, the non"Smart" version should work on both types (I tested it with my iPad). If you get the TRRS "smart" version and eventually want to use it with another device with a mic only input, you would need to get a TRRS to TRS converter. If you search YouTube for TRRS and TRS, you'll find many videos describing the differences.
Q: will this work on ipads or iphones?
A: Yes of course.
