It features plug-and-play operation, allowing you to just plug it in to your device and start recording.

Focused Sound and Extra Reach in a Micro Form-Factor The SmartMic5 Di features a 2.36 x 0.43” (6 x 1.1cm) interference tube and a unidirectional polar-pattern. Designed to focus on the sound in front of the microphone, while attenuating sounds from the sides and rear. Letting your video viewers and social media followers focus on your message and not the background noise. Because of its longer interference tube, it also allows you to move farther away from the microphone and still get a detailed and full-frequency sound.
