Bring hands-free and hassle-free wireless audio to your videos and content with the Saramonic Blink 500 B2+, an ultracompact and extraordinarily easy-to-use true wireless microphone system offering a cost-effective, all-inclusive solution for recording two subjects to cameras, computers, and mobile devices.
The system includes everything necessary for recording crisp, clear speech in any location with a wireless operating range up to 492 feet. You get two clip-on transmitters each with a built-in microphone, a dual-channel receiver that attaches to your camera's shoe mount or plugs directly into your device via the included USB-C and Lightning adapters, and all the necessary accessories to ensure your productions sound broadcast-ready.
An Ultraportable, Lightweight, and Easy-to-Use 2-Person Wireless Microphone Solution
- The Blink 500 B2+ is incredibly compact and featherweight, but don't let the size fool you it delivers high-quality sound and impressive performance. It is also truly simple to operate, just remove the transmitters and receiver from the charging case, plug in the receiver to your device, clip the mics to your talent, and start recording. It's just that simple.
- The system turns on automatically and finds a clean wireless channel, so you can spend your time getting the best shot for your video and not worrying about getting great sound.
Tiny and Discrete Microphone Transmitters with Ultraclean Built-In Mics
- The two B2+ transmitters are super-compact and lightweight, allowing you to easily clip them to a shirt's collar or discretely mount them anywhere using the included magnetic mounts. They are also versatile, allowing you to capture great audio handheld or placed on a table or podium.
- They feature a built-in omnidirectional microphone with 17-step remote mic gain control and one-touch muting, while the included furry windscreens eliminate wind noise during outdoor shoots.
- The transmitters also feature 2-stage Active Noise Canceling, allowing you to choose the level of noise canceling you need. " High" eliminates all distracting background noise, like noisy street sounds and humming HVAC systems. " Low" allows you to still record a lower level of atmospheric sounds and room tone, but keep the focus on your subjects' voices.
Dual-Channel Receiver, Ready to Record on Any Device You Choose
- The Blink 500 B2+ receiver is super compact and only weighs about an ounce, but it packs some serious features in its small size. It mounts on a camera shoe or directly to a device with the included USB-C and Lighting adapters.
- It features Mono, Stereo, or Safety output settings, a selectable low-cut 75 or 150 Hz filter, and a 3.5mm headphone output to ensure you always get the best recording. Use the Mobile Device Speaker Enable to playback recordings on your smartphone or tablet's speaker without removing the receiver it also lets you hear others during virtual meetings.
Power, Simplicity, and Convenience for Creators on the Move
- The Blink 500 B2+ features an extended battery runtime, with up to 20 hours for the transmitters and 16 hours for the receiver. That's over twice the runtime of other micro-wireless systems, giving users the ability to shoot for an entire day on one charge.
- It also includes a 1250mAh charging carry case that provides an additional 1.6x full system charges anywhere. That gives you up to 41.6-hours of filming on a full system and case charge. Taking the system out of the charging case turns the system on and returning it to the case turns the system off automatically.
- The transmitters and receiver can be powered while in use or charged outside of the case using USB battery packs or a power supply for even more powering versatility.
