Saramonic Blink 500 ProX Overview

Perfect for podcasters, journalists, videographers, vloggers, live streaming, and content creators, the black Saramonic Blink 500 ProX B1 is a digital, true-wireless microphone system providing a full, budget-friendly solution to capture high-quality-sounding dialogue, speech, and interviews straight to a 3.5mm-input camera, mixer, recorder, or other device. The Blink 500 ProX is an advanced version of the highly sought-after Blink 500 Pro system. It dishes out some significant upgrades, such as improved digital-audio quality, a lighter and compact new design, reduced latency/voice delay, greater wireless reliability, better OLED displays with real-time metering, greater battery life, and more.

Quality Sound

Blink 500 ProX systems feature 16-bit / 48 kHz digital audio resolution to provide you with quality sound at an affordable price. 

In contrast to the integrated microphones in cameras and smartphones, Blink 500 ProX systems provide much better fidelity and clarity with reduced noise.

As your subjects can talk at very disparate levels, Saramonic equipped the Blink 500 ProX TX with gain buttons specifically for quick and easy adjustment of the signal level.

Use the tactile mute feature to kill the signal in a rush without having to fiddle with the volume.

Since we know camera preamps tend to be noisy, the Blink 500 ProX RX's primary 3.5mm output is a variable mic-level signal that you won't need to max out at the camera.

Equipped with its own 3.5mm headphone jack, the Blink 500 ProX RX can power headphones for a fast monitor check and troubleshooting in addition to plugging into the camera.

The receiver has a selectable mono/stereo output mode that enables it to feed signal from a single transmitter into both your device's input channels (through mono mode) or from two transmitters into different input channels of your device (through stereo mode).

Ideal for 1- or 2-Person Shoots

As the Blink 500 ProX receiver is a dual-channel receiver, it can receive two Blink 500 ProX wireless transmitters (second transmitter/mic sold separately) at the same time for 2-person recordings.

If you have to increase beyond that, you can use a maximum of 18 Blink 500 ProX mics simultaneously at the same location.

Stable and Easy-to-Use 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless

Whereas standard analog wireless systems are vulnerable to interference from TV and radio signals, the Blink 500 ProX digital system circumvents that by functioning in the 2.4 GHz band, which takes up frequencies above television, radio broadcast, and UHF wireless mic systems.

Under 2.4 GHz, Blink 500 ProX features automated channel hopping for protection against noise and dropouts up to 328 feet of line-of-sight range, twice the operating distance of standard Blink 500. For the best performance, spaces with minimum Wi-Fi / 2.4 GHz activity and little to no physical hindrances are preferable.

In comparison to camera and mobile device built-in microphones, Blink 500 ProX systems provide significantly higher fidelity and clarity with reduced noise.

As your subjects will likely be speaking at very disparate volumes, Saramonic equipped the Blink 500 ProX TX with individual gain buttons for easy and rapid adjustment of the signal level.

Use the tactile mute feature to kill the signal in a rush without having to adjust the volume.

Since you know preamps on cameras tend to be noisy, the Blink 500 ProX RX's primary 3.5mm output outputs an adjustable mic-level signal, meaning you won't need to turn the gain all the way up at your camera.

Having a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, the Blink 500 ProX RX can drive headphones for rapid monitor checks and troubleshooting at the same time.

The receiver includes a mono/stereo output selection mode, meaning it can send signal from one transmitter to both input channels on your device (through mono mode) or signal from two transmitters to multiple input channels of your device (through stereo mode).

Ideal for 1- or 2-Person Productions

Because the Blink 500 ProX receiver is a dual-receiver, it can receive two Blink 500 ProX mics at the same time for 2-person recordings (second transmitter/mic sold separately).

If more is required than that, you can use up to 18 Blink 500 ProX mics together at the same location.

Built-In Microphone for True Wireless Operation

The Blink 500 ProX transmitter includes a built-in miniature condenser microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern that records clear, natural voice tone.

Due to the transmitter's extremely compact housing, you can attach it to clothing, slip it into a shirt pocket, position it on a podium, or hold it in hand.

A furry, press-on windscreen is also included to shield the built-in mic from blowing air when filming outside.
