Portable 2-channel USB-C Interface

The Saramonic SmartRig+UC is a feature-packed mobile recording solution. This first-rate USB-C audio interface boasts two independent input channels that accommodate mics, guitars, and/or instruments simultaneously. You can deploy your favorite condenser mics, thanks to +48V phantom power, while two large gain thumbwheels make dialing in levels effortless. You have your choice between mono and stereo output modes, while a 3.5mm headphone output supplies real-time monitoring. Battery-powered operation makes the SmartRig+UC a true mobile recording device, while a 3/8" thread and a reusable fastening strap provide near-limitless rigging options. Saramonic’s SmartRig+UC is a smart choice for making great-sounding recordings with your USB Type-C or Android device.

Versatile inputs accommodate a wide range of sources

The SmartRig+UC boasts two independent channels. Each of these versatile inputs includes an XLR + 1/4" combo connector, plus a 1/8" connector. This enables you to connect microphones, guitars, or other instruments to the SmartRig+UC for easy recording. At Sweetwater, we’re impressed by this USB-C audio interface’s flexibility. You can connect and control gain for two microphones, guitars, or instruments — or any combination of them — simultaneously. Singer/songwriters can connect a guitar and mic at the same time. Podcasters can connect two microphones. You can also connect the stereo outputs of your digital piano or synth. And mobile content creators can connect a shotgun and a wireless mic to improve the audio quality of their videos.

A bevy of useful features to make recording easy

The Saramonic SmartRig+UC packs a lot of features into a small device. This audio interface includes +48V power for your condenser mics, while two large gain thumbwheels make dialing in your levels easy. Dual recording options enable you to toggle between mono and stereo output modes. You can also benefit from real-time monitoring, thanks to a 3.5mm headphone output.

This battery-powered device is tailor-made for mobile recording

The SmartRig+UC is tailor-made for mobile recording. It runs on a single 9-volt battery, so it doesn’t rely on your portable device for power. On top of that, it includes a 3/8” thread and a reusable fastening strap that make attaching it to a selfie stick, tripod, or mic stand a piece of cake. For remote recording with a USB-C-equipped device, it’s hard to top the SmartRig+UC.

Rated 4/5

Needs alternate Power

This would be 5 star if it had a hardwire power because battery life is not great. Overall, solid product.
Rated 2/5

Works with Samsung Note8, but not Apple iPadPro

Since our application demands support for the Apple iPadPro USB-C interface, this interface did not meet our needs.

Also doesn't with with iPhone 11 Pro when used with a USB-C to Lightning converter cable.

Gain control is too touchy at the low end. A logarithmic gain function would have been better. Lack of markings on the gain knobs makes their positions very difficult to see in low light.

Lack of gain control for headphone monitoring port is a problem.
Rated 1/5

Will not work with the Galaxy S9

Just wanted to warn everyone, this will NOT work with the Galaxy S9. Contacted Saramonic who advised me to try several other audio and camera aps and to adjust the settings in the aps. Nothing but noise. Not sure how well it runs with other androids, but if you have an S9 don't bother.
