The range runs 'good, better, best', moving from the entry level AX100, through the AX101 and then on to the AX107. The 'better' option in the Saramonic SR-AX101 Passive 2-channel XLR Audio Adaptor features two balanced XLR inputs and one 3.5mm auxiliary mini jack input. It also features one stereo 3.5mm mini jack output. It's camera/camcorder mountable and is constructed from a plastic chassis with a tripod socket. No batteries are required.
The third and top-level adaptor from Saramonic is the SR-AX107 2-channel Active XLR Audio Adaptor. This is a two-channel XLR audio adaptor with preamplifiers and phantom power, ideal for use with any DSLR with a built-in microphone jack.
A further alternative, for anyone recording interviews, is the Saramonic SR-LMX1 Lavalier Microphone for smartphones.
This is a clip-on omnidirectional microphone for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices. A mic clip is included for securing the microphone to clothing as well as a pop-up shield and 'dead cat' to avoid wind noise.
Further products include the SR-WM4C Wireless Microphone system, with detachable and flexible antenna, which can be rotated 360 degrees for best sound. Prices start from £39.96 for the entry level SR-AX100. The AX101 is just under £80 and the top of the range SR-AX107 is £159.
