B5 is an incredibly lightweight, ultra-compact, and easy-to-use wireless
microphone system, and delivers exceptional, broadcast-quality sound for
DSLR, Mirrorless and Video cameras, mobile devices, and more. The Blink500
system operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically hops

Blink500 meet various recording demands. The RXUC receiver has a USB-C output
and is designed for devices with a USB-C port, including Android smartphones

a traditional belt-pack transmitter with the included SR-M1 professional
lavalier microphone. The Saramonic Blink500 B5 comes with a 1-year warranty.

Unpacking
the Blink 500 B5
- Use 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.
- The
ultra-compact 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 no batteries, cables,
or clips are required.
- Simply plug in
the receiver and power on the transmitter to access reliable wireless
audio functionality in an instant.
Connect, Power, and Go
- With 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.
- Advanced
technology invisibly handles 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.
Quality Sound
- Blink 500
systems utilize 24-bit / 48 kHz resolution the same audio standard used
worldwide by sound engineers in the film industry—to give you quality
sound at a budget-friendly price point.
- Compared to
the built-in microphones on cameras and mobile devices, Blink 500 systems
offer considerably improved fidelity and clarity with less noise.
- Since 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.
- By 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.
Perfect for 1- or 2-person Shoots
- Since the
Blink 500 RXUC is a dual-channel receiver, it can simultaneously handle
two Blink 500 TX wireless transmitters (the second transmitter is 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.
- Each 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.
Built-in microphone for True Wireless Operation
- The 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.
Lavalier
Microphone Included
- For maximum
visual discretion, use the Blink 500 TX as a traditional bodypack
transmitter with the supplied Lavalier microphone. Just clip the Omnilav
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.
- The 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.
Stable and
Simple 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless
- Whereas
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.
- Within 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.
Ready for
Anywhere:
- Don’t 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.
