For vloggers, livestreamers, videographers, and mobile journalists who need a space-saving microphone that provides higher-quality sound capture than their mobile device's built-in mic, the Godox Geniusmic UC offers an ultracompact and affordable solution. This miniature condenser mic connects directly to the USB Type-C port on your smartphone or tablet, no external cabling or mount required. It also features its own headphone output on the rear of the mic body, so you can conveniently monitor your input signal or playback through earbuds or studio headphones.

Since the Geniusmic UC runs on USB power (no batteries required) and has no controls to configure, it ensures easy, user-friendly operation for people of all experience levels. The aluminum housing provides durability, light weight, and effective resistance to interference from RF sources. By incorporating a directional polar pattern, the microphone reduces the pickup of off-axis sound such as ambient noise. Bundled with a foam windscreen and a furry windshield, the Geniusmic UC helps you record audio with less noise from wind whether you shoot indoors or outside.

Ultracompact and Durable

The Geniusmic UC is just 3.1" long and weighs only 1.5 ounces, making it a stealthy companion for your smartphone or tablet. The durable aluminum construction helps to fight against RF disturbance.

Directional Sound Pickup

Utilizing a hypercardioid polar pattern, the Geniusmic UC focuses on sounds in front of it while reducing distracting noises at the sides and to a lesser extent, the rear. This makes it well suited for use in noisy environments and ambience-heavy spaces.

Extended Highs and Strong Output

The Geniusmic UC has an extended frequency response (50 Hz to 20 kHz) and high sensitivity, allowing it to yield detailed audio whether you're recording dialogue, instruments, or nature sounds.

Plug-and-Play Operation

With no need to change or charge batteries, the Geniusmic UC runs on USB power for enhanced convenience. Record quickly and never miss an important moment.

Smartphone Compatibility

The Geniusmic UC features a USB Type-C male plug to enable proper connectivity with smartphones and tablets that have a USB Type-C port.

Headphone Output

With a 3.5mm headphone output on the rear of the mic, it supports monitoring of the input signal (app dependent) or playback while the mic remains connected to your mobile device.

Furry Windshield for Outdoor Shoots

The artificial fur windshield aids in reducing wind noise while protecting the mic from weather and dust. This is especially helpful when shooting outdoors.
