Saramonic has launched the BlinkME U2, a progressive wireless microphone system tailored for content creators, videographers, and audio professionals. Announced on 29 November 2024, the BlinkME U2 combines superior audio quality with an intuitive, user-friendly design, meeting the demands of modern creators.
At the heart of the BlinkME U2 is its dual-channel capability, allowing users to operate two transmitters with one receiver. This makes the system particularly suited for interviews, multi-presenter projects, and collaborative content creation. Offering pristine sound capture with low latency, the BlinkME U2 ensures broadcast-quality results in a lightweight and portable form factor.
The BlinkME U2 connects effortlessly to Android and iOS smartphones via included Lightning and USB-C adapters, making it an ideal solution for vlogging, live streaming, and mobile journalism. The USB-C connection also supports laptops and desktops, offering seamless compatibility for podcasting, video conferencing, and online content creation. Real-time monitoring through a 3.5mm headphone output further enhances usability.
A key feature is the touchscreen interface, which offers intuitive access to advanced settings, enabling precise control over audio quality. The accompanying Saramonic App unlocks further customisation, including the ability to personalise the transmitters’ UI, adjust button functions, and apply enhancements like noise reduction and voice optimisation. Additionally, the app includes the Saramonic SmartRecorder for professional-grade video and audio recording.
The BlinkME U2 boasts extended battery performance, delivering up to eight hours of continuous operation, making it a reliable companion for full production days. Its compact, portable design ensures creators can achieve professional audio wherever they work.
