Pairing the transmitters to the receiver is straightforward, and all of the complicated components of using wireless mics happen in the background, allowing you to focus on narrative and capturing a fantastic shot.

Perfect levels and power

Controlling the audio levels is one of the most difficult components of capturing sound for video. Some people speak loudly, while others speak gently. That's why Blink 500 transmitters include simple gain buttons that allow you to raise or drop the levels with the push of a button, and an intelligent LED display displays you where they're set. The internal Lithium batteries have a 5-hour charge life, and the USB-C charging connectors can be used to power or recharge the transmitter in the field using portable USB battery packs. The transmitter's 10-milliwatt output provides an outstanding range of 30 metres with obstructions and 50 metres in free space.
