Depends on wifi strength

It's convenient to use with the internal mic or and external mic. Problem is constantly searching for a strong wireless signal when broadcasting and the audio drops. This may be the weak wifi we have because it worked pretty good in my house and dropped audio only when I was there rooms away. So depending on how strong your WiFi is will dictate the quality of the audio.

Poorly made

Within a few months the lavalier broke, stopped transmitting sound. A week after that the transmitter stopped charging and needed tweaking the cable to get it working. I was on the go and did not even charge with my MacBook's perfectly fine USB-C cable. And finally the receiver's lightning port was stuck on my iPhone as I was trying to take it off. The sound quality is good but without durability it means nothing. extremely overpriced and low quality products. Breaks easily.

Clean descriptions and easy to use with quality reception

By SEYMOUR W.

Very easy to use (although the product literature is VERY TINY PRINT). Quality design and good fidelity. Pleasantly packaged and adequately described part diagrams. Clean literature.

Make your audio recording experience seamless and professional with the Blink 500 B2 Ultracompact 2.4 GHz 2-Person Wireless Clip-On Microphone System. This feather-light, compact system is designed to deliver broadcast-quality sound for cameras and mobile devices. It uniquely accommodates two wireless transmitters, enabling you to mic two individuals simultaneously.

The package includes two clip-on wireless transmitters with built-in microphones, two professional lavalier microphones, and a dual-channel receiver that conveniently mounts to your camera's shoe. The transmitters are versatile enough to be clipped to a shirt, slid into a pocket, or even used handheld. They can also function as traditional bodypack transmitters with the included SR-M1 professional omnidirectional clip-on lavalier microphones, offering more professional and inconspicuous miking solutions.

Despite its advanced technology, the Blink 500 B2 is incredibly user-friendly. It operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz spectrum and automatically hops channels to avoid static noise and audio dropouts. Pairing the transmitters with the receiver is straightforward, allowing you to focus on storytelling and capturing the perfect shot.

The Blink 500 B2 also addresses the challenge of controlling audio levels. Its transmitters feature easy-to-use gain buttons to adjust the levels and intelligent LED displays to monitor the settings. The internal Lithium batteries provide 5 hours of life from a single charge, and the USB-C ports allow for field charging with portable USB battery packs. The transmitters' 10-milliwatt power offers an impressive range of 98 feet (30 meters) with obstacles, and 164 feet (50 meters) in open spaces.

The system is compatible with both cameras and mobile devices, thanks to the included TRS and TRRS output cables. The receiver's output provides a strong, noise-free level, allowing you to adjust your camera's input level to its lowest setting to avoid hearing the noisy preamp.

Ideal for filmmakers, journalists, vloggers, YouTube creators, and corporate video producers, the Blink 500 B2 is one of the smallest, most lightweight systems available that still delivers professional-quality sound. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in any camera bag, backpack, or even your pocket. As part of the evolving Blink 500 series, this system offers users expanding options and versatility for their audio recording needs.
