The Saramonic SR-XLM1 is a broadcast-quality lavalier microphone designed for discreet and portable use with DSLR cameras, camcorders, recorders and Saramonic equipment. The SR-XLM1 features an alligator-style lapel clip for easy and secure attachment to your shirt or lapel, and a 20? (6 m) cable for maximum freedom of movement and accessibility. An omnidirectional pickup pattern balances recorded audio regardless of the microphone's position, making the SR-XLM1 incredibly versatile and the ideal choice for interviews, podcasts, diction and other hands-free recording. The Saramonic SR-XLM1 offers improved sensitivity and a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to other common lavalier microphones like the Rode smartLav+, while being half the price. This is currently the best price/performance ratio on the market.
