The Saramonic Vlink2 is a versatile and easy-to-use 2.4 GHz wireless microphone system designed for news broadcast, interviews and field recording. It works with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and all types of cameras, as well as portable audio recorders and smartphones that have a 3.5mm microphone input. The kit offers a straightforward setup for run-and-gun production and location work.
Vlink2 supports real-time talkback and monitoring between the transmitters and the receiver. Both the transmitter and the receiver can communicate with each other, allowing users to listen and speak simultaneously. Importantly, the system records only the sound from the transmitter while maintaining two-way communication, and the real-time monitoring function helps ensure the security and quality of recorded audio during takes.
The Vlink2 RX is a camera-mountable dual-channel 2.4 GHz wireless receiver. It features a high-contrast OLED display for clear status information and a talkback function to the transmitters. The receiver includes two detachable antennas that can be rotated 360° to improve reception in different shooting setups. You can switch the receiver’s output between mono and stereo modes depending on your recording needs. Additionally, the talkback and monitoring functions on the receiver allow camera operators to enable or disable these functions individually, and communication can be controlled with a mute button on the receiver.
The Vlink2 TX is a compact body-pack transmitter designed for wearable use. It features an easy-to-read OLED display and a detachable antenna. The transmitter uses a built-in rechargeable battery and provides both a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 3.5mm mic input jack. It accepts audio from the included 3.5mm locking lavalier microphone and supports efficient two-way communication with the receiver. For quick control during shoots, a short press of the power button mutes the microphone between takes.
Use Vlink2 for on-camera interviews, ENG news gathering and field recording where simple, reliable wireless audio is required. Because the system records the transmitter audio while allowing two-way communication, it suits situations where a producer or camera operator needs to talk to on-screen talent without affecting the recorded track. The detachable antennas and mono/stereo output options add flexibility for different camera and recorder setups.
