Merging the ultracompact, extraordinary, and easy-to-use nature of the standard Blink 500 with high-end luxuries such as crisp OLED screens, mono/stereo output modes, 60% longer battery life, and double the operating range, the SARAMONIC BLINK500 PRO B2 : IPHONE LIGHTNING CONNECTION true wireless microphone system gives budget-conscious content creators, run-and-gun videographers, and mobile journalists a pro-level, all-inclusive solution for recording two subjects to your camera, camcorder, smartphone, or tablet.
Not only does the Blink 500 Pro B2 deliver considerably improved sound quality compared to the built-in mics on cameras and mobile devices, but it elevates the sound quality of the original Blink 500 with its higher signal-to-noise ratio and more sensitive integrated microphone. The Pro transmitter now sports a tactile function for immediate mute/unmute operations without having to touch the volume. Plus, the receiver boasts separate line and headphone outputs to allow real-time audio monitoring without breaking the connection to your recording device.
The Blink 500 Pro B2 digital system provides out-of-the-box operability for anyone; thanks to quick one-click pairing and internal 8-hour batteries, your focus can stay on your content instead of time-consuming configuration. Power the transmitters and receiver with their internal batteries or through USB for extralong shoots. Recharging the batteries can be done via USB or by simply dropping the transmitters and receiver into the supplied fast-charging case.
Equally straightforward, small, and versatile, the Blink 500 Pro B2 gives you everything necessary for recording present and clear speech in any location. You get two clip-on transmitters (each with a built-in microphone and a clip-on omni lavalier mic), a dual-channel receiver with an integrated clip and shoe mount, multiple charging and audio cables, foam and furry windscreens, and that special charging case. Whether you're a run-and-gun videographer, a YouTube content creator, or an avid vlogger, the Blink 500 Pro B2 can get your wireless audio going pro in no time.
With a slew of pro-level features, the Blink 500 Pro appeals to the needs of power users around the globe. Though it shares the same 2.4 GHz operating frequency and miniscule physicality as standard Blink 500, the Blink 500 Pro is packed with surprising enhancements.
Each Blink 500 Pro transmitter and receiver is outfitted with a high-contrast 128 x 64 pixel OLED screen, ensuring consistent visibility of import settings indoors and outside.
