Saramonic SR-TM7 Broadcast XLR Shotgun Microphone

The Saramonic sr-tm7 is a super cardioid broadcast XLR shotgun condenser microphone that delivers professional, broadcast-quality sound to video cameras, audio recorders, and DSLR and mirrorless cameras with XLR adapters. With its long-shotgun design, the sr-tm7 excels at capturing clear audio in wide shots and scenarios where you can't get too close to the sound source.

Equipped with a range of useful features, the sr-tm7 includes a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to 150 hours of power. The microphone features 5 illuminated buttons that are easily adjustable even in low-light conditions. The -10 dB pad button allows for clean recording of loud sounds, while the +6 dB high frequency boost button enhances sharpness and clarity. Additionally, there are two low-cut buttons (75 and 150 Hz) that help make dialog more intelligible and eliminate distracting deep bass noises such as rumbling vehicles and air conditioners.

The sr-tm7's durable metal construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of video production. Its all-metal design, with a built-in battery, saves weight and allows for digital control of on-board filters, preserving settings when the microphone is powered off. The microphone can be powered either by its built-in lithium battery or via phantom power, with the power button changing color to indicate the energy source and battery life.

Included in the box with the sr-tm7 are a Micro-USB charging port discreetly integrated into the XLR connector, a charging cable, a short XLR cable, a mic clip with a camera shoe mount, and a foam windscreen. For shooting in windy conditions, a high-wind furry windscreen designed specifically for the sr-tm7, called the tm-ws7, is available for purchase separately.

In summary, the Saramonic sr-tm7 offers professional-grade audio recording capabilities in a durable and versatile package, making it an ideal choice for video production. Its array of features, including a low-cut button for enhanced dialog clarity, built-in lithium battery, and high-wind furry windscreen option, make it a valuable tool for capturing high-quality sound in a variety of shooting situations.
