Well done! Thanks for the tips
Glad you enjoyed them.
While recording my video, voice volume is getting lower as moving away from a receiver. what setting do I have to adjust? it is a phone setting or Blink setting?
Hello, what likely happening is you do not have the receiver, plugged in with the mics on BEFORE you start the camera app. Most camera apps, including the ones that are bundled with the iPhone or Android phones do not have audio settings. So, what you need to do is plug in the receiver with the microphones on and then launch the camera or recording app, this way the camera app knows you're using an external microphone. If you have the camera app on before you plug in the microphone, it does not automatically change to external microphone when you plug that in. Please give that a try and let us know if you have any other problems. I would bet this is your issue and that would fix your problem.
@@SaramonicUSA Still not working, voice recording is working. but only video voice is not working on my two smart phones. It may be a Camera Setting? I tried all of them, but not working. What else can I try?
Please contact our support team via email and we will help you fast. [email protected]
@@SaramonicUSA I figured out. I should have used Saramonic APP. I thought I could use a phone camera. No issue.
Are these waterproof?
No, they are not. I don't know of a 2.4GHz system that is. There are a few UHF systems that are waterproof, but they are $2000 just for the transmitter. We do have a waterproof lavalier that would work with this system, the Saramonic DK5A.
@SaramonicUSA thank you for the reply.
The mic and receiver is connected but wen i record with my phone i dont here my voice wen i play back the video why is that ? Wat am i doin wrong?
Make sure that you have speaker enable on the receiver set up in order to hear playback when the receiver is connected to your phone. See this to show you how: pulse.ly/3u0gemlpop Also, you want to connnect the receiver to your mobile device BEFORE you launch the video or audio recording app. This way your app knows you are using an external mic.
Me too 😢
Does it have a mute switch?
It does not have a mute switch, but you can use the device switch as a mute.
The Left Bluelight on the Transmitter is still blinking and the output is in Mono, not stereo. I'm using it with my Iphone IOS 17.5.1. I can't figure out how to fix it. Thx in Advance!
The blue light on the receiver will blink if the transmitter is not on or not paired. So if you are only using one transmitter and have the other off or in the case, this is normal. You can turn on, or remove the transmitter from the case and the light will go solid. If you have both transmitters out of the case and on and the left side is still blinking, you need to re-pair the system. If you need to re-pair, watch the video linked here, it is cued up for you: pulse.ly/et8cxhumkx
How do you activate pass thru? I can’t hear it until playback
Real-time monitoring is app dependant. Android and iOS bundled video apps do not have that feature, but it is available on a lot of 3rd party apps. FilmicPro for Android and iOS, or CameraMX for Android, and ProMovie for iOS allow real-time monitoring. I wish that Apple and Android would get with the program and integrate real-time monitoring in to their video apps, but they still don't offer it. For just playback, all apps will allow playback thru the headphone out.
@@SaramonicUSAI actually figured out an easy work around using the output port on my ssd hub as an aggregate device with my studio interface
How do i adjust the input gain on these microphones? The volume is too low when recorded. I have searched through the instructions PDF (which is also not CMD + F searchable) and I couldn't find it. Please help.
Please watch the video here: pulse.ly/zlqm86vwrv It will show you how to adjust the levels.
I'm having an issue, it's probably a simple fix. When I record on my iphone 10 with 1 receiver, the video playback is only producing sound in my right ear, nothing in the left. If i turn on both receivers I hear sound in both ears but I obviously don't want to hang two receivers on my shirt during recording. Can you contact me here with a fix if you know of one please.
You go to the setting in the receiver, select Mono in Output mode and it works.
You are in stereo mode, that puts 1 mic to left and 1 mic to the right. Which is ideal for mixing later in post-production. If you are recording 1 person, or just want 2 people mixed to both left and right you want mono mode. It is easy to change, please see this part of the video to show you how: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoJpq8h-fpPAZ5s.htmlsi=8BaI-ccAH9bt4ki8&t=212
@@SaramonicUSA I ended up figuring that out but I really appreciate the quick response. If I have any other questions I’ll let you know. Thank you again.
Merhaba bende saramonic 500 pro var ara kabloyla iphome 15 pro maxe bağlıyorum fakat kulaklık olarak görüyor. Sebebi nedir yardımcı olabilir misiniz çözemedim.
Bu doğru. Adaptör kablosunu kullanarak iPhone'a harici bir mikrofon bağladığınızda, harici mikrofon özelliklerini kullanmak için onu bir kulaklık olarak görecektir. Alıcının mono modda olduğundan emin olun ve iPhone'da kulaklığı seçerek kayıt yapabilirsiniz.
Can i use this with Go Pro 10 camera
Yes, but you wll need either the GoPro Mic Adapter or the MediaMod. No 3rd party mic can be used with a GoPro without either of these adapters.
can i use these with headphones ?
Yes. You can plug wired headphones into the receiver and monitor in real-time.
Can I connect the Saramonic Blink500 B2+ microphone to the DJI Action 4 action camera?
YES! Just use the USB-C adapter of the system.

Can the receiver pass thru charge to my phone while using it?
Absolutely. That is one great feature that allows you to film for hours.
Hey guys, I was really enjoying using this microphone with my phone. Unfortunately it's not working at the moment, so I tried connecting the microphones to my camera (sony a7iii) instead, but the receiver will not connect to the camera. I wasn't having any issues when connecting the receiver to iphone, but it won't work with my camera, is there anything you'd reccomend?
to clarify, my iphone isn't working, and my transmitter which was working with iphone isn't connecting to my camera

@@SaramonicUSA Sounds good. Will do now. Thanks guys
I am having the same issue, how did you fix it
What are the maximum bit rate and sample rate this can do?
16-Bit / 48kHz
Can I use it with dji pocket 3 ?
Yes. Just use the USB-C adapter from the Blink 500 B2+ and that will connect with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3's USB-C input.
help! Me compre unos y el recepto se ha quedado congelado, no me permite hacer ninguna función, alguien le paso igual?
Si el receptor está congelado, intente conectarlo a una alimentación USB-C y apagarlo. Luego, vuelva a encenderlo y vea si el receptor todavía está atascado. De lo contrario, realice una restauración a los valores predeterminados. Si esto no funciona, contáctenos y le conseguiremos un sistema de reemplazo rápidamente. [email protected] si está en los EE. UU., o [email protected] si está fuera de los EE. UU.
Insted of iphone lighting give us 3.5mm jack.
can you write best adjustment levels for one person recording on quite room ? because in video is a little hard which is the best adjustment
There is no perfect setting for everyone because it will vary by recording device. I like to start with +4 for the microphones, and level 5 for the receiver output. This works great for my iPhone 14 in a quite room, and on the street. It will work similarly on an Android phone with USB-C. When connecting to camera I would use the same settings and adjust the camera's gain so I am averaging about -12dB on the camera's meter. If you have a particularly noisy camera preamp, I'd go to +5 on the microphones and maybe 6 on the receiver, this way I can turn the camera's gain down a bit to get the cleanest signal. I hope that helps. 😀
Is the sound produced from B2 + as same as the B2 version? I saw some reviews between B2 vs Q20 which in my opinion B2, somehow, sounds better. Thanks
If you are asking about the original Blink 500 B2 system that we released in 2018, the B2+'s internal mic definitely sounds better in my opinion. If you are comparing it to the Blink 500 ProX B2, I would say the ProX's internal mic sounds better, but that is almost twice the price and has lavaliers. The B2+ does have a killer microphone and when compared to some popular wireless systems' internal mics that are $250 and even $350, many reviewers had mentioned that the B2+'s mics cound better, and I agree. I also prefer the B2+'s mic sound to the Q20. It is a great system for the money.
@@SaramonicUSA Thanks for your reply. I used to use B2 old version. I make vlog outside and I need a noise canceling mode mic. I think I'll go get myself the B2+ since the ProX is still out of my budget 😄
I want to use stereo mode to record stereo space, like background sounds or a car driving by left to right. Is the stereo mode true stereo do this or is it just dual mono?
You could use these for stereo, but your set-up and placement has to be precise. Please see "Setups for stereo: AB" in this article: pulse.ly/nlpb2ucf4iYou could also construct a mannequin head that would hold the transmitter in the ears of the head. This might be more complicated that you want. Primarily, the stereo setting is to be used for dual mono, recording one subject to the left, and the other subject to the right. For a stereo recording, it is much easier to use a stereo recorder or mic with an XY microphone pattern, a stereo binaural microphone or head mic, or 2x cardioid lavalier mics (positioned correctly) into a wireless system. For simplicties sake, I suggest a good recorder with a stereo XY mic, they can be had for $79 and above. I hope that helps.
@@SaramonicUSA It's not hard to record in stereo space if you have a true stereo recorder. I've done it easily many times with my condensers and tascam DR mkiii. I also used the first DJI Mic, 30 ft apart in my yard, as well as holding them in my hands and got a stereo image. I've since sold them looking for a new mic set. Sadly, this set sounds like it's simply dual mono which is not what I'm looking for. Thanks for clarifying, though!
The transmitter and the reciver just charge for 25 seconds, then I have to take out one of the untis and put it back in the chargin box then both charge for another 25 seconds. Another problem is that the displays are black all the time. Besids from that they work great.

@@SaramonicUSA Thanks for a fast reply. I bought the product in Sweden and now I'm Thailand. If I had been at home, I could have gone to the store with it.
Does it have bluetooth conection features?
This does not connect via Bluetooth. Bluetooth would have a much lower audio resolution than the digital connections this system has via USB-C or Lightning. This system has a digital resolution of 24-Bit/48kHz, while Bluetooth would be much much lower.
Just picked one up. Very nice, good feel in the hand and light weight. Even comes with one Mic Flag and clip.
Yes, only one mic flag is included. The image and mention of 2x flags in the video is not accurate. Unfortunately, the video was completed before the mass production was finalized, and the included accessories had changed. Please accept our apologies.
please help! if I buy a usb-c mic will it work with iphone 15 pro? (15 pro is also a usb - c btw)
Hi, yes! The Blink 100 B5 and B6 will work with the iPhone 15.
Any idea if this mic will work with a DJI Osmo Action 3 cam? The Action 3 cam has a USB-C connection for which I have a Boya BY-K4 3.5mm TRS adapter, so I'm guessing that this mic will plug into the BY-K4 adapter, then the adapter into the Osmo Action 3, and all should be ok, but I've seen other mic's with the same connection that state they won't work with the Osmo Action 3 cam so wanted to ask before purchasing from my local electronics store. Thanks in advance.
It will work with your Boya adapter for sure, and it will work with the DJI Osmo 3 with the Boya adapter. I hope you like it.
Awesome! For $129 that is a killer set-up.
Your support means a lot! I appreciate your kind words.
I was surpriced when I've found that my reciever is fully discharged but case still has 3 of 4 chargind dots. For some reason, the reciever didn't go sleep when I put it to the case and didn't start charging.
This may be beause of 2x things. #1) The receiver was not pushed down far enough into the case. (this is most likely) #2) The receiver might have had a protective sticker covering the connection points on the bottom of the reciever that needs to be removed. Please check the connectors on the receiver to see that this was removed.
Waiting in nepal 🇳🇵. ❤

Nice but so bulky
Nice!

I enjoyed working on this video and loved how well these mics worked. The Noise cancelation surprised everyone.
Too slim. I wish it had a wider diameter like the pros.
Dope
The input gain on the SR-ULM10L sounds too overblown in my laptop, maybe the motherboard's internal components aren't great
It could very well be your laptop. The SR-ULM10L has a tailored output voltage and sensitivity level, designed get a great sound without needing gain and overloading. Is it possible you can test It on another computer? If it has the same problem, there might be a defect, and we will swap it out for a new one if that is the case.
it does not work with my osmo action 3, is that normal?
This was designed for the Osmo Action 1 and 2, because their microphone input was proprietary. The Osmo Action 3 and 4 use standard USB-C microphones like the Saramonic LavMicroU3A or LavMicro-U. pulse.ly/zdrgrsros2 or pulse.ly/mywtt9qcoq But the Osmo Action 3 & 4 will also work with any of Saramonic's USB-C microphones, like these too: pulse.ly/0tt55mpmyz & pulse.ly/lruwrusdzq The page might say for iPhone 15, but the USB-C out will be perfect for you Osmo Action 3
Thank you so much! @@SaramonicUSA
What is the difference between this and the Pocket version?
This is for the DJI Osmo Action 1 and 2 cameras, the LavMicroU3-OP is for the DJI Osmo Pocket 1 and 2.
Does this work with the Blink 500 Pro, minus the X?
No, for that you want the Blink 500 Pro HM: saramonicusa.com/blink-500-pro-hm-handheld-transmitter-holder-for-blink-500-pro-tx-transmitters-with-foam-windscreen-and-built-in-1100mah-battery-charger/
What do I do if I tightened my mic on too hard accidentally ??
You can use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip the shoe mount's nut and gently turn counterclockwise. Do not grip the fastener to tightly, and make sure you're going counterclockwise to not tighten it even further.
Can I used B4, and later use lightning to type-C cable to record? I want to use iPhone 13 now, but later may Android or iP15.
This adapter will allow you to use it with the iPhone 15: The Apple USB-C to Lightning adapter: pulse.ly/yfhqe6vlg3 The Apple adapter is the ONLY adapter that will work, do not purchase a 3rd party adapter because they are designed for charging only and the above adapter allows full Lightning compatability. I don't know of any Lightning to USB-C adapters that will work with Android. You could always buy a Blink 100 B5 and use that receiver for 2x transmitters, but unfortunately the receiver is not sold seperately. Luckliy the B5 is not that much more than the Apple adapter I mentioned above. I hope that helps.
