Saramonic Blink500 Ultracompact 2.4GHz Dual-Channel Wireless Microphone

System

General Introduction

The Saramonic Blink500 is an incredibly lightweight, ultracompact and easy-to- use 2-person wireless microphone system for DSLR, Mirrorless and Video cameras, or mobile devices that delivers detailed, broadcast-quality sound.
The system series is comprised of three different receivers. The RX receiver has a 3.5mm output and includes TRS and TRRS output cables, allowing it to work with any device with a 3.5mm audio input. The RXDi receiver has a MFi Certified Lightning output and is designed for Apple iOS devices. And the RXUC receiver has a USB-C output and is designed for devices with a USB-C port, including Android smartphones and tablets.
The clip-on transmitter has a great sounding built-in mic and it is small and light enough to clip to shirts and clothing, or you can use it as a traditional beltpack transmitter with the included SR-M1 professional lavalier microphone.
No technical knowledge of audio is required to operate. The Blink500 system operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically hops to free channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts.

There are six kits available in the Blink500 series:

Note: If using an Android phone, please set the “OTG Connection” to “ON.” The OTG connection menu is usually in the “Additional Settings” in your phone setting menu.
