Ideal for content creators, videographers, journalists, vloggers, podcasters, and live streaming, the black Saramonic Blink 500 ProX B2 is a true-wireless, digital microphone system that offers a complete, cost-effective solution for recording clear-sounding dialog, interviews, and speech with two people talking simultaneously—directly to a mirrorless/DSLR camera, recorder, mixer, and other 3.5mm-input devices. The Blink 500 ProX is the next generation of the popular Blink 500 Pro system. It serves up some notable improvements, including higher digital-audio quality, smaller and lighter, updated design, lower latency/voice delay, more wireless reliability, upgraded OLED displays with real-time metering, longer battery life, and more.
The Blink 500 ProX B2 consists of two compact clip-on transmitters, each with its own built-in omnidirectional microphone, allowing you to quickly attach them to subjects for fast, run-and-gun-style shoots. For a more discreet look, you can plug the two included omni lavalier microphones with windshields into the transmitters' 3.5mm input jacks. The tiny two-channel receiver features a 3.5mm output connection for camera use and a headphone jack to monitor your audio in real time. Camera mounting is made easy by the receiver's clip, which easily attaches to your camera shoe.
The system provides out-of-the-box operability for anyone (thanks to quick, one-click pairing) and delivers reliable transmission with a clear sound at a distance up to 328'. Built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 10 hours of operation on the transmitters and receiver. Recharging the batteries can be done via USB or by simply dropping the transmitters and receiver into the supplied fast-charging case.
