Saramonic Blink 500 RX

The Saramonic Blink 500 RX is an ultracompact and lightweight camera-mountable wireless microphone dual-receiver that delivers broadcast-quality sound and works with two Blink 500 TX wireless transmitters at the same time (sold separately). The integrated clip can be used as a shoe mount for your camera, and it features a built-in Lithium battery and a USB-C port for charging and powering and recharging in the field with external USB battery packs. Its 3.5mm output is powerful enough for headphone monitoring, and this also means that you don’t need to use the noisy preamp in your camera to achieve pristine sound quality. Two output cables are included, TRS for cameras and TRRS for smartphones and tablets that have headphone jacks.

So advanced, it’s effortless.
Some wireless microphone receivers are complicated to operate, but the Blink 500 RX is so technically advanced that it couldn’t be easier to use. Even though there are very few controls to adjust, it does a lot behind the scenes to ensure excellent performance.

Pairing transmitters is simple, and all of the complicated aspects of using wireless microphones happen seamlessly in the background, letting you concentrate on storytelling and getting a great shot.
