Saramonic SmartRig+

SmartRig + is a compact 2-channel audio interface that allows you to connect any combination of microphones, guitars, or professional instruments to DSLR and video cameras, as well as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices with a headphone jack.

It is an ultra-portable and lightweight device that greatly improves the sound quality of the videos you record. It also allows you to create broadcast-quality audio recordings on your mobile device for podcasting and news gathering. In addition, you can fully utilize powerful music creation apps by connecting real instruments and professional microphones to your mobile device.

The SmartRig + features three different types of inputs, with two of each: XLR, 1/4” (6.35 mm), and 3.5 mm. All inputs remain active, and you can even use 4 of them at the same time. The XLR inputs can power condenser microphones with +48 volts of phantom power, and the 3.5 mm inputs provide plug-in power, allowing you to use almost any type of microphone.

The 1/4” (6.35 mm) inputs are impedance-matched to provide the best sound quality for electric guitars, bass guitars, and acoustic instruments with pickups.

If you record videos on your smartphone, you can connect and mix professional shotgun and lavalier microphones to greatly improve the sound quality. The built-in preamplifiers provide clean sound, and if your camera lacks a headphone jack, you can use the SmartRig + connector. Two large gain control knobs allow you to easily set perfect levels.

The SmartRig + is an affordable and ultra-portable device with impeccable sound quality that provides an impressive amount of functionality for a wide range of uses.
