The Blink 500 ProX TX from Saramonic is a miniature clip-on microphone/transmitter available as an individual component to expand your existing wireless setup or for use as a backup transmitter. When used with a Blink 500 ProX RX, RXDi, or RXUC receiver (all available separately), the system offers an ultracompact solution that lets you record one or two wireless mics to cameras and smartphones (depending on the receiver used).
The tiny transmitter weighs just over 1 oz and features a built-in clip and an omnidirectional microphone, making it simple to attach to a lapel or shirt for quick and easy true-wireless audio. For a more discreet look, you can plug the included SR-M1 lavalier microphone into the 3.5mm input jack and use the Blink 500 ProX TX as a beltpack transmitter. The system uses digital technology in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth to ensure reliable wireless transmission with a maximum line-of-sight range of 328`.
The transmitter is powered by an internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery that will run for up to 10 hours and is recharged through the USB Type-C port, which will also power the unit if you have access to AC. A charging cable and a furry wind cap are included. The lavalier mic includes a lapel clip and foam windscreen. The system can be expanded with additional transmitters and receivers to allow up to 18 microphones in use on set at one time.
The ProX TX is designed exclusively for use with the Blink 500 ProX receivers and systems and will not work with Blink 500 or Blink 500 Pro receivers or systems.
