The Saramonic Blink 500 ProX B1 is a compact wireless microphone system designed for content creators. It delivers easy out-of-the-box operation, reliable 2.4GHz transmission, and a convenient charging case. Use it for vlogging, livestreaming, podcasting, broadcasting, YouTube production, or filmmaking.
Content creators who need a simple, portable wireless microphone will appreciate the Blink 500 ProX B1. It suits broadcasters, podcasters, vloggers, livestreamers, YouTube creators and filmmakers who want straightforward setup and dependable audio capture for single-person shoots. If you need to mic a second person, you can add a second Blink 500 ProX TX transmitter (sold separately) and record two sources.
The Blink 500 ProX uses advanced 2.4GHz transmission with frequency-hopping technology to reduce interference. This enables stable operation and crisp audio capture even in areas with high RF activity. The system supports transmission distances of up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet), providing flexibility for many shooting scenarios.
Each transmitter features a high-quality built-in omnidirectional condenser capsule plus a 3.5mm TRS input for connecting an external lavalier microphone. The system offers a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 84 dB, a 48 kHz sampling rate, and a 20–20 kHz frequency response. These specifications help the Blink 500 ProX capture clear, natural-sounding audio with minimal background noise.
With an ultra-low latency of 8 ms, the system also supports real-time applications such as online meetings and remote teaching, where low delay between source and monitoring is important.
The receiver includes a 3.5mm headphone jack for both real-time and playback monitoring. You can listen to the recorded audio and the device’s background sound simultaneously. The Blink 500 ProX provides 0–6 level gain control so you can precisely tailor the output to your camera, recorder, or mobile device.
The receiver also offers a selectable Mono/Stereo output mode. When you add an extra TX transmitter (sold separately), this selectable mode allows you to record each microphone to separate channels on compatible cameras and recorders.
The system runs for up to 10 hours on the internal transmitter/receiver batteries, giving you a full day of portable recording for many shoots. The included charging case provides an additional 20–30 hours of charging capacity, extending overall runtime between mains charges.
For fast workflow, opening the charging case automatically turns on both the TX and RX units. The receiver supports USB-C charging (DC 5V). Use the included Type-C cable to charge the case and onboard batteries.
The Blink 500 ProX connects to a wide range of devices. Using the supplied 3.5mm TRS to TRS, 3.5mm TRS to TRRS cables, a Type-C connector, or a lightning connector on the receiver, you can hook the system to DSLRs, mixers, modern computers, smartphones, tablets and other recording devices.

Question: How long will the system run on battery, and how does the charging case work?
Answer: The TX and RX can run for up to 10 hours on their internal batteries. The included charging case provides an additional 20–30 hours of charging capacity. Opening the charging case automatically powers on the TX and RX for fast setup.
Question: Is there monitoring and gain control on the receiver?
Answer: Yes. The receiver features a 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time and playback monitoring and offers 0–6 level gain control to tailor the output level to your recording device.
Question: Does the system work in RF-congested environments and for live online use?
Answer: The Blink 500 ProX uses 2.4GHz frequency-hopping transmission for stable operation in high RF activity. With an 8 ms latency, it is suitable for low-delay scenarios such as online meetings and remote teaching where responsiveness matters.
