Saramonic Large Diaphragm Dynamic Broadcast And Podcast Microphone With Xlr Output, Swing Mount And Foam Windscreen (sr-bv1)

Saramonic SR-BV1 – Professional Shotgun Broadcast Microphone

The Saramonic SR-BV1 is a professional broadcast-standard condenser shotgun microphone designed for demanding video production, broadcast journalism, film production, and professional content creation applications. Engineered to Saramonic’s broadcast specifications with a supercardioid polar pattern and high-rejection off-axis response, the SR-BV1 delivers the focused, natural, and detailed vocal capture that broadcasters and documentary filmmakers rely on to separate a subject’s voice cleanly from background noise and ambient sound. Whether mounted on a camera, boom pole, or desk stand, the SR-BV1 produces a signal that requires minimal processing to achieve a professional broadcast sound quality.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern for Maximum Rejection

The SR-BV1’s supercardioid polar pattern is tighter than a standard cardioid microphone, picking up audio primarily from the front and rejecting sounds from the sides and rear far more effectively. This directional behaviour is essential in professional video and broadcast scenarios where the microphone must capture a presenter or subject’s voice clearly while minimising the pickup of off-axis environmental noise, room reflections, and competing sound sources. The rejection of rear-incident sound is particularly effective, allowing the SR-BV1 to be used in environments with live audio or music playing without significant bleed into the microphone signal.

Wide Frequency Response and Low Noise

The SR-BV1 employs a large condenser capsule that delivers a wide frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz, capturing the full range of the human voice from the deepest chest resonances to the highest consonant detail, as well as the full audio spectrum required for music and ambient sound recording. The equivalent noise level (EIN) is kept low to preserve the clarity and definition of the captured signal even when recording at long distances or in quiet environments. The high SPL handling capability of 135dB allows the SR-BV1 to be used for loud sources including musical instruments and stage amplifiers without capsule overload.

XLR Output and Phantom Power

The SR-BV1 is a professional condenser microphone that operates on 48V phantom power supplied via the standard XLR connection. This makes it compatible with all professional audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and professional camera bodies and preamp systems that provide phantom power on their XLR microphone inputs. The gold-plated XLR connector ensures reliable signal contact, and the microphone is supplied with a shock mount that isolates the capsule from mechanical vibration transmitted through the stand or boom pole – a critical accessory for preventing handling noise from reaching the recording.

Build Quality and Accessories

The SR-BV1 is constructed with a metal body that provides acoustic shielding from electromagnetic interference while withstanding the physical demands of professional field production. The included accessories reflect the SR-BV1’s professional positioning, with a high-quality shock mount, a windscreen for outdoor use, a protective carry pouch, and a stand adapter for desk mounting included in the package. The microphone is designed for daily professional use and is built to a standard that reflects Saramonic’s position as a supplier to professional broadcast and film production teams worldwide.
