Blink 500 B2 Snow White Ultracompact 2.4 GHz 2-Person Wireless Clip-On Microphone System
The Blink 500 B2 Snow White Wireless Clip-On Microphone System by Saramonic is a cutting-edge, ultracompact, and lightweight solution designed specifically for capturing broadcast-quality audio in a discreet manner. Its white housing makes it ideal for formal occasions like weddings, worship services, and events where white clothing is commonly worn. This system is perfect for videographers, content creators, presenters, and mobile journalists looking for an efficient wireless microphone setup.
Ultra-Compact and Discreet Design
With the Blink 500 B2 Snow White, form meets function. The two clip-on transmitters weigh just a few grams and feature built-in omnidirectional microphones. This makes them unobtrusive and easy to clip to clothing, lapels, or ties without drawing attention. The system also includes two professional SR-M1 omnidirectional lavalier microphones, offering flexibility for those who prefer a traditional bodypack-style mic option.
The signature white finish blends seamlessly into lighter colored attire, effectively making the transmitters and lavaliers almost invisible on camera. This visually discreet design helps keep the audience's focus on the speaker, not the equipment.
Advanced Wireless Technology for Clear Audio
The system operates on the interference-free 2.4GHz digital wireless spectrum with automatic channel hopping across 18 channels. This ensures a robust and reliable connection even in crowded RF environments, minimizing dropouts and interference. The Blink 500 B2 is easy to pair — simply power on and connect transmitters to the dual-channel receiver, which mounts conveniently on the camera shoe or connects to mobile devices.
Operating at a power output of 10 milliwatts, the transmitters provide an impressive range of up to 164 feet (50 meters) line-of-sight, and about 98 feet (30 meters) when obstacles are present. This gives users freedom to move without risking signal loss during recordings.
Broadcast-Quality Audio Performance
The Blink 500 B2 delivers professional-grade audio through 24-bit/48kHz digital encoding, ensuring clear, natural, and highly intelligible voice capture. Its omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound uniformly, accommodating natural movements without significant audio loss or quality changes.
Gain control buttons on each transmitter enable users to adjust input levels easily, helping balance loud and soft voices without distortion. LED indicators provide real-time visual feedback on audio levels and battery status, allowing creators to monitor performance actively.
Battery Life and Charging Flexibility
Each transmitter is powered by an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivering up to approximately 5 hours of continuous use. This battery life supports typical shooting sessions and events without interruption.
Charging is facilitated via USB-C ports, which can be powered by standard USB battery packs in the field, enhancing portability and ease of use during long shoots or on location where power sources may be limited.
Receiver and Cable Compatibility
The dual-channel receiver included with the Blink 500 B2 connects to cameras via TRS cables and to mobile devices via TRRS cables included in the package. This broad compatibility ensures the system works easily with a wide variety of DSLR, mirrorless cameras, smartphones, tablets, and more, enabling flexible use across different recording platforms.
The receiver’s compact design mounts on the accessory shoe of cameras or can be attached using a belt clip, keeping the gear convenient and accessible without added bulk.
