The Saramonic Blink Me U2 is a true-wireless, digital microphone system made for content creators, videographers, journalists, and vloggers who record directly to USB-C and Lightning mobile devices. It records clear dialog and interviews for two people simultaneously and provides plug-in receivers, onboard recording, and a compact, ready-to-use kit.
Use the Blink Me U2 when you need fast setup and reliable two-person audio capture. It fits run-and-gun shoots, interviews, live streaming, and vlogging where you plug the receivers directly into a mobile device and record speech or interviews with minimal hassle.
The Blink Me U2 provides out-of-the-box operability with quick, one-click pairing. It uses a 2.4 GHz digital transmission system and automatic frequency hopping to maintain a stable audio stream, even in RF-congested areas. Saramonic specifies a line-of-sight range of up to 328' (100 m), allowing you to record subjects at a significant distance from the receivers when conditions permit.
Each transmitter is a compact clip-on unit with a built-in omnidirectional microphone and a furry windscreen supplied in the box. The transmitters include digital gain control, a mute function, and a TFT touchscreen for quick changes to settings. They support onboard multi-mode recording with a resolution up to 24-bit / 48 kHz, enabling you to record directly to the transmitter without the receiver if desired. Saramonic also lists an HD Active Noise-Cancellation function to reduce background noise and focus on the subject's voice.
The product text includes several battery- and recording-related points. Transmitters can record onboard for extended periods—Saramonic states up to 22 hours of multi-mode onboard recording. The system also notes built-in rechargeable batteries that provide up to 8 hours of transmitter operation in one description, while the specification section lists approximate battery life as 10 hours for both transmitters and receivers. You can recharge components in the supplied charging case; the text states the case can recharge the units in about 2.5 hours. The kit also mentions an “Internal 8-Hour & 24-Hour Batteries” point among the key features.
The kit includes two dual-channel plug-in receivers: one Lightning and one USB-C. Each plugs directly into a compatible mobile device and draws plug-in power from that device. Receivers offer two output settings: Mono (mixed mics) and Stereo (left/right separation). The package includes a USB-C device input that can power a mobile device while a receiver is plugged in, and a headphone and power input Y-cable enables real-time monitoring and simultaneous charging.
The transmitters' touchscreen interface gives quick access to settings and performance controls. Via the Saramonic App you can customize the transmitter UI wallpaper—perfect for adding a company logo, social handle, or custom artwork—and change transmitter button functions to suit your workflow. The app also includes the Saramonic SmartRecorder, a video and audio recording app with gain control, low-cut filters, noise reduction, voice enhance, and other controls to improve capture quality.
