With its extraordinarily simple operation and interference-reducing 5.8 GHz technology, the Saramonic Blink 800 B1 offers public speakers, videographers, presenters, lecturers, and interviewers a reliable digital wireless lavalier mic system that works out of the box with no hassle and no setup required. The lightweight and miniature bodypack transmitter and camera-mount receiver, which are pre-paired at the factory, utilize locking 3.5mm TRS connectors for secure hookup to the included omni lav mic and your camera or recorder. Their internal rechargeable batteries provide up to six hours of run time to handle multiple shoots with ease.
Whereas most wireless systems work in the 2.4 GHz, UHF, and VHF frequency ranges, the Blink 800 B1 sits in the 5.8 GHz zone, effectively eliminating the most common sources of wireless interference. Boasting an operating range of up to 196.9 feet (line-of-sight), the B1 ensures dependable reception, even in large venues. In the event that several wireless setups are needed, three Blink 800 systems can be used at the same time (additional systems available separately). Since they automatically change channels to maintain optimal performance, there's no manual configuration required.
Power On for Great Sound
With no settings or menus to have to worry about, the Blink 800 B1 serves as an extremely simple wireless lavalier mic system. Pre-paired out of the box, there's nothing to do besides connect the lavalier to the TX-35 transmitter and connect the RX-35 receiver to your camera or recording device, turn them on, and starting shooting. All of the complicated aspects of using a wireless mic system happen seamlessly in the background, letting you concentrate on storytelling and getting a great shot. Together with included premium DK3A omnidirectional lavalier, the Blink 800 B1 system delivers a crisp, full-frequency response and increased vocal intelligibility to your film productions and recordings.
Advanced 5.8 GHz Technology
The Blink 800 B1 operates in the 5.8 GHz frequency range, which is much higher and much less congested than 2.4 GHz, UHF, and VHF. It automatically and intelligently changes channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts and features a strong 10mW of wireless output power, providing an impressive range of up to 196.9' / 60m, in open spaces. With up to six hours of operating time from integrated lithium-ion batteries, you won't be wasting money on disposable batteries. The transmitter and receiver can be charged with included USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables and may be powered in use or recharged in the field with portable USB battery packs.
Versatile Connectivity and Expansion Options
The Blink 800 B1 comes with a 3.5mm TRS output cable for cameras, recorders, mixers, or other devices with 3.5mm mic inputs. You can also easily pair it with Saramonic’s numerous separately available output cables or adapters to use it with pro cameras, mixers, smartphones, computers, tablets, and more.
