All about the product

Blink 500 Pro B8 2.4 GHz 4-channel wireless microphone system with case and integrated recording

The "Saramonic Blink500 Pro B8," ideally suited for content creators, videographers, journalists, video producers, podcasters, and broadcasters, is a lightweight, ultra-compact, and easy-to-use digital wireless microphone system offering a comprehensive, cost-effective solution to record up to four people speaking simultaneously. The kit includes four Blink500 Pro TXS clip-on transmitters with built-in microphones and one Blink500 Pro 4RX clip-on receiver. The microphones transmit clear dialogue, interviews, and speech directly to a mirrorless/DSLR camera, computer, recording device, or smartphone/tablet with a headphone jack.

The "Blink500 Pro B8" provides content creators with direct control. The components are factory-paired, so you can start working right away. The easily readable OLED display on the receiver allows for quick and intuitive adjustments. The system automatically switches to free channels to avoid static noise and dropouts, ensuring reliable wireless audio up to 164 feet away. The integrated rechargeable batteries provide up to 4 hours of operation for the transmitters and up to 8 hours for the receiver. A 3.5 mm TRRS cable is included for connecting to a smartphone/tablet, and a 3.5 mm TRS cable is provided for use with cameras and other 3.5 mm input devices. 4-channel audio output is supported with an optional cable (available separately).

Four Blink500 Pro TXS Clip-On transmitters

• Each transmitter has a built-in microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern that evenly captures speech.
• The transmitters are small and light enough to clip onto shirts and clothing, featuring gain and mute controls that allow for complete control of recording at any time.
• A furry windscreen is included to protect the built-in microphone from wind noise when shooting outdoors.

Four microphones in one Blink500 Pro TXS Clip-On receiver

• The clip-on receiver has a belt clip that also serves as your camera's shoe mount adapter.
• If there is no smartphone holder, the receiver can also be attached to a smartphone using the belt clip.
• It features a bright OLED display with real-time measurement
• The output mode can be set to mono or stereo. When in mono mode, the sound from the transmitter or all transmitters is mixed equally on both left and right sides. When in stereo mode, two transmitters are mixed separately on the left and two on the right.
• The receiver has a 3.5 mm headphone output for real-time monitoring and two 3.5 mm audio output jacks that can output up to four separate signals simultaneously.
