Chinese manufacturer Saramonic has launched the Blink500 ProX wireless microphone system for videographers and conferencing applications.
The Blink500 ProX uses advanced 2.4GHz transmission and frequency-hopping technology to allow use over distances of up to 100m with extremely stable operation even in areas with high RF activity. Each transmitter features a high-quality built-in omnidirectional condenser capsule, plus a 3.5mm TRS input for plugging in a lavalier microphone. Boasting up to 84dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio, 48KHz sampling rate, and 20-20KHz frequency response, it is capable of recording clear sound with barely any background noise. Thanks to 8ms ultra-low latency, users can also use it for online meetings or online teaching.
With a 3.5mm headphone jack, the Blink500 ProX receiver supports both real-time and playback monitoring. Not only the audio you record but also the background sound from the phone is presented at the same time. 0-6 level gain control allows you precisely tailor the output to your devices. Additionally, it can handle two transmitters at once, with selectable mono or stereo modes for easy audio editing in post-production. A large OLED screen displays operational information.
The system can run for ten hours, and the charging case can support another 20-30 hours supporting a full day of recording. Additionally, opening the charging case will automatically turn on the TX and RX. Using the included TRS/TRRS, USB Type-C or lightning cables, the Blink500 ProX can connect to DSLRs, mixers, laptop computers, smartphones and tablets.
The Blink500 ProX kit ships with two transmitters, a receiver, the ProX B2Box Charging Case, an omnidirectional lavalier microphone (with two foam windscreens and mic clips), two fur windshields for the built-in microphone, a 3.5mm TRS-to-3.5mm cable for cameras, and a 3.5mm TRS-to-TRRS cable for smartphones.
