Review: Smart V2M mobile audio interface with 2 lav mics for USB and Lightning

The Smart V2M audio interface kit from Saramonic connects where the RØDE SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit can’t, but how does it sound?

Here is my review of the new Smart V2M mobile audio interface kit from Saramonic, with 2 included lavalier microphones. The Smart V2M mobile audio interface kit immediately reminds me of RØDE’s SC6-L Mobile Interview Kit, but the Smart V2M continues where the SC6-L stops. Both can connect two lavalier microphones to iOS or iPadOS via Lightning and record either combined (for live or live-to-drive production) or separate tracks (for more control in post). That’s where the RØDE SC6-L stops, since it is only compatible with Lightning for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. On the other hand, the Smart V2M can also due the same via USB-A or USB-C, which means that it is equally compatible with Android and conventional computers, as well as iOS and iPadOS. There are other differences which I’ll cover ahead. And how does it sound? Ahead I’ll share some test recordings. READ MORE and LISTEN…
