Simplify and expedite your entry into wireless audio with the Saramonic Blink 500 B5, an ultracompact and extraordinarily easy-to-use true wireless microphone system offering a cost-effective, all-inclusive solution for recording one subject to Android devices and Mac\/Windows computers equipped with USB Type-C ports.<\/p>\n
The Blink 500 B5 delivers considerably improved sound quality compared to the built-in mics on cameras and mobile devices while functioning as an ultracompact digital system that provides immediate out-of-the-box operability for anyone, making it ideal for video, podcast, and mobile journalism applications. Once it’s plugged in and powered on, it’s set and ready so your focus can stay on your content.
\nEqually straightforward and small, the Blink 500 B5 gives you everything necessary for recording crisp, clear speech in any location. You get a clip-on transmitter with a built-in microphone and a clip-on omni lavalier mic, a dual-channel receiver that plugs directly into your device, and the requisite charging cable for the transmitter. Whether you’re a run-and-gun videographer, a YouTube content creator, or an avid vlogger, the Blink 500 B5 can get your wireless audio going in no time.
\nUnpacking the Blink 500 B5
\nUse the ultracompact clip-on transmitter as a true wireless microphone with its built-in mic element, or as a bodypack transmitter with its supplied clip-on lavalier microphone.
\nThe ultracompact dual-channel receiver plugs directly into your device’s USB Type-C port, letting it work seamlessly with Android mobile devices and Mac\/Windows computers equipped with USB Type-C ports\u2014no batteries, cables, or clips required.
\nSimply plug in the receiver and power on the transmitter to access reliable wireless audio functionality in an instant.
\nConnect, Power, and Go
\nWith the receiver and transmitter paired at the factory, the Blink 500 system is comfortably easy to use for anyone, anywhere. Videographers, vloggers, YouTubers, and mobile journalists will benefit from the Blink 500’s power-and-go operating style.
\nAdvanced technology invisibly handles the complicated tasks such as switching channels to avoid dropouts, leaving you with a streamlined and simple system that requires no menu diving or tedious manual configuration.
\nQuality Sound
\nBlink 500 systems utilize 24-bit \/ 48 kHz resolution\u2014the same audio standard used worldwide by sound engineers in the film industry\u2014to give you quality sound at a budget-friendly price point.
\nCompared to the built-in microphones on cameras and mobile devices, Blink 500 systems offer considerably improved fidelity and clarity with less noise.
\nSince your subjects may speak at very different volumes, Saramonic outfitted the Blink 500 TX with dedicated gain buttons to allow quick and effortless adjustment of the signal level. You can even turn the volume all the way down to effectively mute the transmitter.
\nBy connecting directly to your device’s USB Type-C port, the Blink 500 RXUC avoids unnecessary D\/A and A\/D conversion to maintain the integrity of the digital signal from your transmitter all the way to your recording device.
\nPerfect for 1- or 2-Person Shoots
\nSince the Blink 500 RXUC is a dual-channel receiver, it can simultaneously handle two Blink 500 TX wireless transmitters (second transmitter available separately). If you need to expand beyond that, you can use up to 18 Blink 500 systems at once to accommodate up to 36 wireless microphones.
\nEach Blink 500 system can include one dual-channel receiver and up to two transmitters. Choose from camera-mount (Blink 500 RX), Lightning (Blink 500 RXDi), or USB Type-C (Blink 500 RXUC) receivers.
\nBuilt-In Microphone for True Wireless Operation
\nThe Blink 500 TX features a built-in miniature condenser microphone with an omni pickup pattern that captures clear and natural voice tonality. Thanks to the transmitter’s ultracompact housing, you can clip it to clothing, slide it into a shirt pocket, place it on a podium, or hold it in your hand.
\nLavalier Microphone Included
\nFor maximum visual discretion, use the Blink 500 TX as traditional bodypack transmitter with the supplied lavalier microphone. Just clip the omni lav mic to a collar or lapel, then plug it into the transmitter’s 3.5mm input; the transmitter automatically switches to the external microphone so you don’t have to bother selecting the input source.
\nThe lavalier mic includes a foam windscreen that lessens noise caused by light wind, breaths, and air conditioning systems. For enhanced reduction of stronger wind noise, a separately available furry windshield (a.k.a. windjammer) such as the Saramonic LM-WS can be fitted to the microphone.
\nStable and Simple 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless
\nWhereas typical analog wireless systems are susceptible to interference from TV and radio waves, the Blink 500 digital system avoids that by operating in the 2.4 GHz band, which occupies frequencies beyond those of television, radio transmissions, and UHF wireless microphone systems.
\nWithin the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the Blink 500 boasts automatic channel hopping to mitigate noise and dropouts at a line-of-sight distance of up to 164 feet. For optimal performance, environments with limited Wi-Fi \/ 2.4 GHz traffic and minimal physical obstructions are recommended.
\nReady for Anywhere
\nDon\u2019t be concerned about licensing or selecting frequencies; the Blink 500 system uses the license-free 2.4 GHz band, so you can go anywhere in the world and have a reliable, fully functional wireless system.
