As the wireless microphone market gets increasingly crowded, it’s harder and harder for new products to stand out. But leave it to Godox, the accessory specialist trusted by photographers and videographers the world over, to conjure up something special.
The new Godox Magic XT1 has plenty of tricks to with which to wow audiences – starting with the revolutionary two-in-one receiver, which breaks away from the familiar charging case design.
Instead, what we have here is a transmitter-in-receiver structure that offers charging and storage for both transmitters (weighing just 8g each) within the receiver body – now you see them, now you don’t!
Portable audio for interviews, streams or shoots has never been more compact and convenient – and the receiver features a customizable OLED touchscreen interface, with additional buttons and a 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time monitoring.
The Magic XT1 isn’t just about portability, though – it also boasts professional performance, thanks to carefully crafted audio technology. Its 2.4GHz frequency hopping ensures a stable wireless connection, with a maximum range of 200m providing extensive coverage.
The microphone boasts an omnidirectional pickup pattern, to record sound from every direction, and delivers premium audio quality thanks to its 48kHz / 24-bit high-resolution sampling rate.
With a frequency range of 20Hz-20KHz for detailed audio capture, an impressive SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 70db, and an amazing SPL (sound pressure level) of 115dB for high-noise environments, this is a system that can handle anything from casual use to dedicated professional work.
Enabling you to customize your recording setup, each microphone can be individually set using a 10-level volume adjustment. And you also have powerful tools at your disposal, including 1-click dynamic noise reduction and a 150Hz low-cut filter to remove unwanted frequencies.
The system features enough battery life to get you through even the most demanding shoot.
Each transmitter delivers 8 hours of performance, with the receiver unit capable of powering up to 16 hours of recording – so you can call cut when you’re finished, not when your equipment cuts out!
Best of all, in addition to mono and stereo recording modes, the Godox Magic XT1 also offers a high-quality -6dB safety track for added security and peace of mind when capturing crucial audio.
The Godox Magic XT1 is on sale now, priced at $109 for the Standard Kit and $129 for the All-purpose Kit.
