Description

Overview

The Saramonic Blink 500 TX is a compact and lightweight clip-on wireless microphone transmitter that delivers broadcast quality sound and is designed to work with the Blink 500 RX, RXDi, and RXUC portable dual-receivers. The Blink 500 TX has an excellent sounding built-in microphone and the entire device is small and light enough to clip directly to clothing, slide into a pocket, or discreetly set on a table or podium.

The built-in microphone is capable of capturing voices clearly and naturally, but it also operates as a traditional bodypack transmitter with the included SR-M1 omnidirectional clip-on lavalier microphone.

Even though there are very few controls to adjust, the Blink wireless system does a lot behind the scenes to ensure excellent performance. The Blink 500 operates on the 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically hops channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing it to a receiver is simple and all of the complicated aspects of using wireless microphones happen seamlessly in the background, letting you concentrate on storytelling.

The Blink 500 TX has easy-to-use gain buttons to raise or lower the levels, and an intelligent LED display shows you where it's set. Its internal lithium battery gets 5 hours of life from a charge and its USB-C charging port can be used to power or recharge the unit in the field with a portable USB battery pack. The 10-milliwatt power of the transmitter gives you an impressive range of 98 feet (30 meters) with obstacles, and 164 feet (50 meters) in open spaces.
