Review on Saramonic Microphone Preamplifier Compatible Mirrorless by Patrick Arnautov

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Noisy preamps and disappointing sound

I bought an older version that is no longer included with Revain. You may have set it but you can see the version I bought in the 4th photo with 2 gun mics mounted on each side and 3 control knobs + many more switches on the interface. bottom line. I never use it. The audio is really bad. The controls degrade the sound when you try to clean it up with pads and other gain/record controls. Honestly, it's a great idea and a great price, but the product just didn't deliver reliable sound quality. That's the whole reason for buying an audio interface - to improve sound quality with such a device, to give your camera access to external microphones with professional connectors like XLR inputs, etc. It just sits on my shelf collecting dust because I can't justify using it. This is to create 2 channels. It is better to use only a single video microphone mounted on the camera. I get a lot less noise and a lot less headaches trying to set this thing up. Also, it only adds bulk to your setup if you mount it on a tripod and then mount the camera on top of it. If I were you, I wouldn't risk buying it. Look for another option. Unless you have enough budget to roll the dice and hope you get lucky and get a good quality device.

Great little mixer for field audio or on-camera applications.
