Do you use an external microphone for smartphones?
I've always thought, "The built-in microphone of modern smartphones has quite good sound quality, and you don't have to prepare an external microphone ...", but when I actually tried using a smartphone microphone The difference is clear! The sound quality changes overwhelmingly.
Live streaming, Skype / Discord calls, online classes, online interviews, online meetings, etc ... If you use a smartphone for these scenes, why not read this blog and switch to an external microphone!
Here are 7 personally recommended smartphone microphones.
1.Saramonic / MTV11 Di
Saramonic / MTV11 UC
There is also a Type-C version that is nice for Android users.
2.Saramonic / SR-MV2000
Continue to here. It is also very popular as a PC microphone.
You can use it just by plugging it into a Type-C compatible smartphone! You can use such a full-fledged microphone on your smartphone. Since it has an LED indicator, you can see that the sound is reacting to the microphone.
It can be used not only for distribution, but also for recording web conferences, video calls, songs, etc. If this microphone is reflected in the face-to-face distribution, it will be a full-fledged atmosphere at once!
The back looks like this. The volume adjustment knob of a monitor, a gain adjustment knob, a mute button, and a headphone jack which can be monitored are carried. No adjustment is required on the device side. Also, when muted, the LED indicator that normally glows green turns red. "Can you mute? Is it alright? ] Does not happen!

The cable is as long as 200 cm, so you can use it with confidence. It also picks up the sound clearly. It is recommended for live game distribution because you do not have to worry about the position of the microphone while leaving both hands free.
A small microphone that is easy to carry.
5.BOYA / BY-VG350 Vlog, video recording microphone, lighting kit
When I saw this product, I thought I wanted to know when I was a college student (laughs) 3 sets of microphone, tripod and light! !! With this, online interviews, online lessons, and video distribution are not scary. At the time of the online interview at Sound House, I didn't have the lights, so I miss the fact that I was illuminating myself with the lights of the iPad. It comes with a microphone and a tripod rather than just buying a light, so it's a great deal!
However, please note that the smartphone and microphone must be connected with a TRRS cable.
The best set for video distribution and video recording!

How was it. After all, the microphone for smartphones cannot be underestimated. It's an era when distribution on smartphones is commonplace, so why not consider an external microphone for smartphones, smartphone distributors?
