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:
