The Blink 500 ProX B2R consists of two compact clip-on transmitters, each with its own built-in omnidirectional microphone and 8 GB of internal memory, allowing you to quickly place them on subjects for quick run-and-gun style shots. For a more discreet look, you can connect the two included omnidirectional lavalier microphones with windshields to the 3.5mm input connectors on the transmitters. The small two-channel receiver features a 3.5mm output connection for camera use and a headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring.
The camera setup is straightforward thanks to the receiver clip, which easily attaches to the camera's shoe mount. The system offers immediate operability for anyone (thanks to a quick one-click pairing) and provides reliable transmission with clear sound up to a distance of 328 feet. The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 10 hours of operation. The batteries can be recharged via USB or simply by placing the transmitters and receiver in the supplied fast-charging case.
Onboard transmitter recording
The TXR has 8 GB of internal memory capable of storing up to 14.8 hours of audio at 16 or 24 bits and 48 kHz in lossless .WAV formats. An integrated touch switch can turn the recording on and off, ensuring that accidental movements do not affect the transmitter. The transmitter's internal battery can operate for up to 11 hours when not in recording mode. When internal recording is activated, the battery life is reduced to 8.5 hours.

Unboxing of the Blink 500 ProX B2R
-
Use each ultra-compact clip transmitter as a true wireless microphone with its built-in microphone element or as a bodypack transmitter with the supplied lapel microphone.
-
The ultra-compact two-channel receiver features an integrated clip with a shoe mount for flexible placement on your camera or yourself. A 3.5 mm TRS audio cable and a 3.5 mm TRS to TRRS cable are provided to ensure proper connection to a camera, recorder, or mobile device.
-
Simply turn on the receiver and the transmitters and use one-click pairing to access reliable wireless audio functionality in an instant.
-
Place the receiver and transmitters in the supplied fast charging case to conveniently recharge their internal batteries and view the charging status in real-time on their OLED screens.
- The Blink 500 ProX systems use a 16-bit/48 kHz digital audio resolution to provide you with quality sound at an affordable price.
- Compared to the built-in microphones in cameras and mobile devices, the Blink 500 ProX systems offer considerably improved fidelity and clarity with less noise.
- Use the touch mute function to quickly cut the signal without having to adjust the volume.
- Knowing that camera preamplifiers are usually noisy, the main 3.5 mm output of the Blink 500 ProX RX sends an adjustable microphone-level signal, so you won't have to increase your camera's gain.
- With an independent 3.5 mm headphone jack, the Blink 500 ProX RX can simultaneously control headphones for quick monitor checks and troubleshooting.
- The receiver features a selectable mono/stereo output mode, allowing it to appropriately send the signal from one transmitter to both input channels of your device (via mono mode) or from two transmitters to separate input channels of your device (via stereo mode).
Stable and simple 2.4 GHz digital wireless connection
-
While typical analog wireless systems are susceptible to interference from radio and television waves, the Blink 500 ProX digital system avoids this by operating in the 2.4 GHz band, which occupies frequencies beyond those of television broadcasts, radio, and UHF wireless microphone systems.
-
Within the 2.4 GHz spectrum, the Blink 500 ProX features automatic channel hopping to mitigate noise and interruptions at a line-of-sight distance of up to 328 feet, double the maximum distance of the standard Blink 500. For optimal performance, environments with limited Wi-Fi/2.4 GHz traffic and minimal physical obstructions are recommended.
Bright OLED screens
Each Blink 500 ProX transmitter and receiver is equipped with a high-contrast OLED display, ensuring constant visibility of import settings both indoors and outdoors. The transmitter's display shows real-time input monitoring, input gain level, mute icon, wireless signal strength, and battery life. The receiver's display shows battery life, mono/stereo icon, headphone level, as well as the real-time level meter of the transmitters, mute, battery life, and wireless connection strength.
