General Introduction

The Saramonic BlinkS00 Pro is an incredibly lightweight, ultracompact and easy-to-use 2-person wireless microphone system, and delivers an exceptional, broadcast-quality sound for DSLR, Mirrorless and Video cameras, mobile devices, and much more.

The supplied charging case allows you to charge devices anywhere needed. They deliver 8 hours of recording time on a single charge, the case can be recharged via Type-C DC Sv port.
3.5mm headphone output, selectable M/S switch, quick-charging, OLEO display features make the BlinkS00 Pro meets various recording demands.

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.

No technical knowledge of audio is required to operate. The BlinkS00 Pro system operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically hops to free channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts.
