Saramonic SG-MS1 Stereo/Mid-Side Shotgun Microphone with XLR, USB-C, and 3.5mm Outputs

The Saramonic SG-MS1 is an ultracompact, lightweight mid-side stereo shotgun microphone designed for film, television, nature, music, environmental, and sound effects recording. Its cardioid and figure-8 capsules work together to produce a realistic stereo image with adjustable width. Suitable for boompole and on-camera use, the SG-MS1 weighs just 3.17 oz and measures 6.9 inches long, making it easy to manage during long shoots and compact enough to avoid interfering with short camera lenses.

A 5-pin XLR output and included dual 3-pin XLR cable connect the microphone to professional cameras, mixers, and recorders, allowing stereo width to be adjusted in real time or during postproduction. The SG-MS1 also provides a USB-C digital output for smartphones and tablets and a 3.5mm output for cameras and portable recorders. When recording to a mobile device through USB-C, the 3.5mm jack doubles as a headphone output for real-time monitoring. Stereo width can also be adjusted using the Saramonic System app.

The three-mode audio control dial adapts the SG-MS1 to different recording situations. Raw M-S captures unprocessed audio from both capsules for maximum flexibility when mixing stereo fields, ambience, music, and sound effects. M/S Mono separates the capsules across the two XLR outputs, with the M-XLR carrying the cardioid capsule for dialogue and directional recording and the S-XLR carrying the figure-8 capsule for two-person interviews. Decoded L/R converts the Mid-Side signal into standard left and right stereo channels in real time for immediate stereo recording.

The included shockmount uses Rycote Lyre microphone mounts and offers a cold-shoe mount plus 5/8", 3/8", and 1/4"-20 thread options for mounting on cameras, boom poles, pistol grips, and microphone stands. The kit also includes foam and high-wind furry windscreens, a 5-pin XLR to dual 3-pin XLR cable, USB-C charging and output cable, USB-C to Lightning output cable, 3.5mm TRS output cable, 3.5mm TRRS output cable, stand-mount adapters, and a custom hard case.
