The Saramonic SmartMic Di Mini is an ultra-compact omnidirectional electret condenser microphone that connects directly to the Lightning port on your iPhone or iPad. It delivers dynamic, broadcast-quality sound while remaining small and lightweight, so you can capture better audio wherever you record.
