The Saramonic BLINK 500 PROX B8 is a compact, factory-paired wireless microphone kit built for recording up to four people at once. It targets content creators, videographers, vloggers, journalists, podcasters, and streamers who need an easy-to-use solution that connects directly to cameras, computers, recorders, or smartphones/tablets with a headphone jack. The kit combines four clip-on transmitters with a single clip-on receiver and includes accessories to get you recording quickly.
This kit contains four Blink500 Pro TXS clip-on transmitters with built-in microphones and one Blink500 Pro 4RX clip-on receiver. Because the components are paired at the factory, you can start recording right away without manual pairing. The system targets speech, interviews, and dialog capture for small crews and multi-speaker scenarios.
The receiver’s easy-to-read OLED screen makes adjustments quick and intuitive. The system automatically hops to free channels to avoid static noise and dropouts. In general use the kit notes reliable wireless audio at distances up to 164'. The system specification also lists a maximum operating range of 328' / 100 m line-of-sight. The receiver provides real-time metering and monitoring through a 3.5mm headphone output.
The kit uses built-in rechargeable batteries in both transmitters and receiver. The product overview states transmitters run up to 4 hours and the receiver up to 8 hours in typical use. The transmitter specification lists an approximate battery life of 10 hours. Both transmitter and receiver charge via USB-C. The package includes a USB-A to USB-C charging cable and a charging case for the transmitters.
The kit ships with a 3.5mm TRRS cable for connecting to smartphones and tablets, plus a 3.5mm TRS cable for cameras and other devices with 3.5mm inputs. For multitrack capture, the receiver supports four-channel audio output when used with an optional cable; the Saramonic SR-C2020 dual 3.5mm TRS male to quad XLR male output cable is included in the box to support quad outputs on compatible recorders or mixers.
