Truly Professional, Next Generation 2.4 GHz Wireless System

The Tiny, but Mighty TX Transmitter

The Blink 500 Pro TX transmitter is ridiculously compact and lightweight, yet it delivers high-quality professional sound, anyway you want to use it. It features a built-in omnidirectional microphone with an impressive sensitivity of -39dB. Giving you dynamic, crystal-clear sound quality on a transmitter that you can easily clip to a shirt, collar or slide into a pocket, yet versatile enough to set on a table or podium. The TX transmitter also operates as a traditional bodypack transmitter with the included SR-M1 professional omnidirectional lavalier microphone, providing an even more visually discreet miking solution. It can also be used handheld, by itself or with the optional Blink500 Pro HM Handheld Mic Holder (sold separately).

Mic or Line, It's All Fine

As an added unique and amazing feature, the Blink 500 Pro TX transmitter also allows you to transmit microphone-level or line-level signal wirelessly and provides plug-in power to microphones. This makes the system tremendously versatile allowing you to connect it to virtually any audio source. You can use the included SR-M1 lavalier or plug in a mini-shotgun microphone, you can add a headset microphone, or a higher-end lavalier. Just about any 3.5mm microphone wired for standard TRS pin-out will work, and the adjustable mic gain lets you get perfect levels every time. Switch the TX transmitter to line-level and connect it to mixers, music players, or any line-level device output you want to transmit wirelessly to the receiver.

For Cameras, Mobile Devices, Computers and More

The Blink 500 Pro B1 system's RX dual-channel receiver includes both TRS and TRRS output cables. Allowing the system to work perfectly with DSLR, mirrorless, and other kinds of cameras, recorders, mixers, modern computers and so much more. As well as smartphones and tablets that have headphone jacks. Easily pair with a Lightning or USB-C dongle (not included) for mobile devices with no 3.5mm input. A 3.5mm headphone output with level control lets you monitor the sound in real-time, even if your camera or device lacks a headphone output. The RX features a much-desired selectable Mono / Stereo output setting, giving you the ability record each mic to separate channels of camera's and recorder's mic inputs, when using an additional TX transmitter (sold separately). It also features a vivid OLED display that lets you see vital information and battery life of the receiver and transmitters at a glance, without having to access the menu.

Unmatched Power and Range, Paired with Sophisticated Simplicity

With an expanded range of up to 328-feet (100m) and the expanded battery life of up to 8-hours, users now have the freedom for wider, more expansive shots without fear of dropouts and have the ability to shoot for an entire day on one charge. The included charging carry case provides vital protection for storage and transit, but also provides a rechargeable 1200mAh internal battery allowing you to charge your system anywhere.

I am a vocal coach and produce a ton of video training for the voice so the quality and richness of the microphone I use is of paramount importance. Switching from Sennheiser which has good sound quality to the Saramonic Blink 500 PRO B1 I was concerned that my voice might sound muffled, thin or weak and having to use EQ or filters to produce optimum sound. This was definitely not the case with the Saramonic Blink 500 Pro. I especially love that I no longer have to replace batteries, and that I also don't need to allocate separate desk space to set a wireless receiver upon. The receiver is so small that it fits right atop the video camera in the hot shoe. So, if you're on the fence in regards to which wireless mic setup to use for a very professional situation, this is a great option to consider.
