My name is Anthony Burokas, with Joe in the Saramonic booth, and I have to say, I am a Saramonic user, we're using Saramonic microphones right now that I purchased for myself. I'm actually really interested in some of the things that you've got going on, especially like this little mixer, which is not just a mixer, but it's a receiver, so it does exactly what we're doing here in receiving two wireless microphones, but it does more?
Joe Nassar: Yeah, Besides being, as you mentioned, a dual receiver, which is in itself revolutionary, I know there are some other dual receivers on the market, but a lot of them are wi-fi. This is a UHF system, and the difference between Wi-Fi and UHF is distance and reliability. You can mount your phone right here, and it can fit larger phones as well. On the top we have a little shoe mount. That's perfect for LED lights.
Joe Nassar: Or mounting your shotgun microphone. Well, that's great, but how do you get that on the phone? Well, we have two microphone inputs on the sides. if you want to use a professional shotgun microphone, this also provides phantom power, which is really awesome. So notch your mic up there, you have phantom power, you have all the flexibility you need. So it's four channels total. If you were to pair this with, say, two UW Mic 9 systems, you could have six wireless microphones going into your phone at once.
Anthony Burokas: That is unheard of. Now, What is the power on this?
Joe Nassar: It's a lithium-ion battery.
Anthony Burokas: What's the runtime?
Joe Nassar: Actually we haven't got a total runtime, because we never had a point where it ran out of power. One of my shoots at least, I've gone at least six hours with this. I really need to put it through its paces, so I apologize about not having that information right off the bat.
Anthony Burokas: I have the beltpack receiver, but, being able to clip it to a phone, being able to have those other accessories, that third mic even, it's like wow, this gives you that capability to add the third thing. Or even more.
Anthony Burokas: Now you've got a couple new vlogging direct plug-in mics, I see.
Joe Nassar: This is the SmartMic Plus, the new on-device microphone for smartphones and tablets ... it exceeds the sound of the internal microphone as well as it being directional. It's a huge advantage for you. We have a Lightning version as I have here, a USB-C, and also a TRRS for people who do not have either Lightning or USB-C.
Anthony Burokas: Okay, cool. For people who don't want to go wireless, but want to have multiple microphones, I saw that this thing, and I don't quite understand what I'm looking at here.
Joe Nassar: Well, this is the Smart V2M, and what you have here is, it's a portable audio interface, with two wired lavaliers. It also goes USB-A to your computer as well, so I can literally put this in a pouch, put it in my back pocket, and go anywhere to have interviews.
Anthony Burokas: So, technically, like what we're doing here, this would be perfect for if wireless was just really crazy. Can you adjust the levels independently of the two channels?
Joe Nassar: You can adjust the levels of each of the microphones, as well as you have a headphone output and the volume adjustments for that. This is a great little piece for the money.
Anthony Burokas: Wow, so there's a lot of really cool things going on here at the Saramonic booth for NAB 2019.
