Ideal for content creators, videographers, journalists, vloggers, podcasters, and live streaming, the black Saramonic Blink 500 ProX B2R 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, or other 3.5mm-input devices. The Blink 500 ProX B2R is the next generation of the popular Blink 500 Pro system. It serves up some notable improvements, including upgraded transmitter units with onboard lossless .WAV recording capabilities.

System Configuration

The Blink 500 ProX B2R consists of two compact clip-on transmitters, each with its own built-in omnidirectional microphone and 8GB internal memory, 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. Recharging the batteries can be done via USB or by simply dropping the transmitters and receiver into the supplied fast-charging case.

Onboard Transmitter Recording

The TXR features 8GB of internal memory capable of storing up to 14.8 hours of 16- or 24-bit audio at 48 kHz in lossless .WAV formats. An inset, tactile switch can toggle recording on and off and ensures accidental jostling will not affect the transmitter. The transmitter's internal battery can run for up to 11 hours when not in recording mode. When onboard recording is toggled, the battery life is reduced to 8.5 hours.

Unpacking the Blink 500 ProX B2R

• Use each ultracompact clip-on transmitter as a true wireless microphone with its built-in mic element or as a bodypack transmitter with its supplied lavalier microphone.
• The ultracompact dual-channel receiver features an integrated clip with a shoe mount for flexible placement on you or your camera. Both a 3.5mm TRS audio cable and a 3.5mm TRS to TRRS cable are provided to ensure proper hookup to a camera, recorder, or mobile device.
• Simply power on the receiver and transmitters and use one-click pairing to access reliable wireless audio functionality in an instant.
• Drop the receiver and transmitters in the supplied fast-charging case to conveniently recharge their internal batteries and view real-time charging status on their OLED screens.

Connect, Power, and Go

• With the receiver and transmitters easily paired at the click of a button, the Blink 500 ProX system is comfortably easy to use by anyone, anywhere. Videographers, vloggers, YouTubers, and mobile journalists will benefit from the Blink 500 ProX's power-and-go operating style.
• The transmitter's 3.5mm input can accept mic- or line-level signals, making it fully capable of accommodating a variety of external sources such as a lavalier microphone or an audio feed from a mixer or receiver.
• Advanced technology invisibly handles complicated tasks, such as switching channels to avoid dropouts, leaving you with a streamlined and simple system that requires no tedious manual configuration.

Quality Sound

• Blink 500 ProX systems utilize 16-bit / 48 kHz digital audio resolution to give you quality sound at a budget-friendly price point.
• Compared to the built-in microphones on cameras and mobile devices, Blink 500 ProX systems offer considerably improved fidelity and clarity with less noise.
• Utilize the tactile mute function to cut the signal in a hurry without having to adjust the volume.
• Knowing that camera preamps are often noisy, the Blink 500 ProX RX's main 3.5mm output sends an adjustable mic-level signal, so you won't have to crank the gain at your camera.
• With a separate 3.5mm headphone port, the Blink 500 ProX RX can simultaneously drive headphones for quick monitor checks and troubleshooting.
• The receiver features a selectable mono/stereo output mode, allowing it to appropriately feed signal from one transmitter into both input channels of your device (via mono mode) or from two transmitters into separate input channels of your device (via stereo mode).

Stable and Simple 2.4 GHz Digital Wireless

• Whereas typical analog wireless systems are susceptible to interference from TV and radio waves, the Blink 500 ProX digital system avoids that by operating in the 2.4 GHz band, which occupies frequencies beyond those of television, radio transmissions, and UHF wireless microphone systems.
• Within the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the Blink 500 ProX boasts automatic channel hopping to mitigate noise and dropouts at a line-of-sight distance of up to 328 feet, double the maximum distance of the standard Blink 500. For optimal performance, environments with limited Wi-Fi / 2.4 GHz traffic and minimal physical obstructions are recommended.

Bright OLED Screens

Each Blink 500 ProX transmitter and receiver is outfitted with a high-contrast OLED screen, ensuring consistent visibility of import settings indoors and outside. The transmitter screen displays real-time input monitoring, input-gain level, mute icon, wireless strength, and battery life. The receiver screen displays battery life, mono/stereo icon, headphone level as well as the transmitters' real-time level meter, mute, battery life, and wireless connection strength.
