Saramonic Blink 500 B3 Ultracompact Wireless System – For iPhone and iPad
The Saramonic Blink 500 B3 is a superb Ultracompact Wireless System, that grants you the freedom to record & broadcast quality sound to your Apple devices, in addition to offering unrivalled versatility.
This kit comes with a single Blink 500 TX wireless transmitter which features a built-in mic. It’s small enough to be clipped onto a shirt or hidden inside your pocket, or it can even be used as a handheld or set on a desk. It also doubles up as a traditional bodypack transmitter when used with the included SR-M1 omnidirectional clip-on lavalier microphone, so no matter what the requirement you’ll be able to record crystal-clear professional audio.
One of the issues faced when recording sound for video is controlling the audio levels. Depending on the person speaking, you may need to raise or lower the levels based on how loudly they talk. That’s why the Blink 500 TX transmitter has easy to use gain buttons to raise or lower the levels as required, and the LED display lets you know just where they’re set.
The Blink 500 TX is simple to use; you turn it on, and it works. But in the background, the Blink 500 is doing a lot to ensure excellent performance. It transmits on the interference free 2.4GHz spectrum, and it automatically switches channels to avoid static interference and audio dropouts. The 10-milliwatt power of the transmitter gives an impressive range of 98ft (30 meters) with obstacles, and up to 164ft (50 meters) in unrestricted open spaces.
The Blink 500 RXDi receiver connects directly to the Lightning connector of your Apple device and it’s even a dual channel receiver, so if you ever need to record two people at once you can add a second Blink 500 TX (sold separately) and you’ll be ready to go.
The Blink 500 B3 is ideal for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTube creators, corporate video producers or any content creator in need of a portable, compact and easy to use wireless system that will still deliver professional quality sound. It’s small enough to fit into any camera bag or backpack, and you can even put it in your pocket so transporting the system is effortless.
