Saramonic has announced the launch of the Blink500 ProX B2R, an update to the popular Blink500 wireless microphone system for the diverse needs of content creators, journalists, vloggers, and musicians.
The Blink500 ProX B2R builds on the features of previous models. Still, it retains much of what made the Blink500 series so desirable as a portable audio recording technology solution that offers broadcast-quality sound in an ultra-compact and easy-to-use form. This dual-channel system, operating on a reliable 2.4GHz frequency, helps to ensure stable and interference-free communication for up to two people, making it ideal for interviews and most content creators.
One of the standout features of the Blink500 ProX B2R is its built-in recorder. The TXR transmitter is equipped with 8GB of onboard memory, which can store up to 24 hours of high-quality audio. This built-in recorder enables you to capture audio directly on the transmitter, providing a backup in case of signal dropouts or some other issue during live recording.
Another notable feature is the system’s exceptional range. With an operating range of up to 100 meters without obstacles, it is ideal for various recording scenarios, from on-the-go interviews to dynamic musical performances. This range ensures that you can move freely without worrying about losing connection or audio quality.
The RX receiver features an intuitive OLED display, making it easy to monitor audio levels, battery status, and signal strength. This interface enables quick adjustments on the fly, ensuring that your recordings are always clear and free from technical issues. The OLED screen’s high visibility also means that users can easily read the display in various lighting conditions.
Another major advantage of the Blink500 ProX B2R is its compact design. Weighing just 29.5g for the transmitter and 30.5g for the receiver, the system is incredibly lightweight and portable. This makes it easy to carry around and use in different environments, whether recording in a studio or out in the field.
Battery life is another crucial aspect where the Blink500 ProX B2R excels. The built-in Li-ion battery provides approximately 10 hours of continuous use, ensuring that you can record for extended periods without needing to recharge frequently. The system also supports convenient USB-C charging, allowing for quick and easy recharges between recording sessions. “We’re thrilled to introduce the Blink500 ProX B2R to the market,” said Giles House, Product Marketing Manager for Saramonic. “This system represents the brand’s commitment to providing professional-grade audio solutions that are accessible to creators at all levels. Its portability, ease of use, and superior sound quality make it a game-changer in the indu”try.”
The Blink500 ProX B2R is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, DSLRs, and camcorders. Each package includes a lavalier microphone, USB-C charging cable, and a protective case with additional charging capacity.
