Share

SmallRig has been a familiar name for filmmakers and creators, known for its versatile gear ranging from LED lights to camera cages. Now, they’re stepping into the audio scene with the SmallRig S 60 Wireless Microphone, a USB-C version that promises to keep audio quality top-notch while remaining discreet.

It’s an ideal choice for vloggers, interviewers, and creators who need to blend in rather than stand out.

Designed for individuals who prioritize subtlety, this microphone is only 2.6 cm (about 1 inch) in diameter and weighs a mere 7.9 grams (0.28 oz). It’s perfect for those who want to capture high-quality audio without bulky equipment getting in the way. Just clip it onto your shirt, and you’re good to go.

Despite it having a tiny and lightweight design, the SmallRig S 60 Wireless Microphone can run for hours. It offers a solid 11-hour battery life on a single charge, which extends to an impressive 44 hours when using the included charging case. Now that’s pretty impressive if you ask us!

But that’s not all, the SmallRig S 60 Wireless Microphone has a built-in DSP chip that supports 48 kHz/24-bit recording so users can expect clear, professional-grade sound. The mic also boasts a 3-level gain adjustment to fine-tune input levels, giving creators better control over their audio.

Not to mention, the mic’s LDS antenna supports a robust transmission range of up to 300 meters (about 984 feet) with less than 20 ms of latency, ensuring smooth, real-time audio capture. The S 60 also uses digital wireless technology and can work seamlessly with Android and iOS devices.

On the topic of signal and transmission, each purchase of the SmallRig S 60 includes two clip-on transmitters, a USB-C plug-in receiver, and a charging case—plus a few extras like adhesive pads, neck straps, and back clips. Its internal antenna helps maintain stable connectivity, while the USB-C interface allows the mic to charge directly from a mobile phone during use.

Another standout feature of the S 60 is its smart controls—just a simple double-tap on the transmitter mutes the mic, while a single tap activates noise reduction. The signal-to-noise ratio clocks in at 74 dB, and the mic can handle up to 120 dB SPL, making it suitable for various recording environments. This means you can use this tiny mic in street recordings, sit-down interviews inside a studio, outdoor venues, and more! Imagine all the possibilities, especially if you’re a content creator.

Speaking of content creators, we all know that the style of your equipment, especially if you’re wearing it, is a major factor when it comes to purchasing one. So, in true SmallRig fashion, the S 60 comes with a set of handy accessories, including a magnetic cup and sticker for easy attachment to clothing, plus a windscreen that adds a touch of charm to the setup. The device operates on a straightforward Plug-and-Play basis, sparing users from complicated software installations.

Now you might think with all these features, this tiny mic might break your bank but that’s not necessarily the case. Given everything, the price point of $89.99 is actually quite reasonable and in our opinion, fairly priced. As it’s jam-packed with essential features, tech-savvy design, and high-quality performance, the SmallRig S 60 Wireless Microphone is well worth the purchase.
