Can i use this with Go Pro 10 camera

@bernardmanarin1662 11 күн бұрын

Having issues. Accidentally unpaired the mics to the receiver but receiver seems nonfunctional all of a sudden as M and power buttons aren't working when held down or pressed. Mics are blinking but receiver won't turn off

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

@SaramonicUSA Ай бұрын

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

@SaramonicUSA Ай бұрын

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.

@DianRegina99 Ай бұрын

@@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?

@SaramonicUSA 2 ай бұрын

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!

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?

Does it have bluetooth conection features?

@SaramonicUSA 2 ай бұрын

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.

Hi Saramonic, I'm having trouble recording sound on my miPhone 12Pro. I've double checked that my receiver is connected to both transmitters, and I've double checked all sound settings and experimented with different microphone levels on the transmitters. However, whatever I try, when I play back video no sound from the transmitters is captured (the only sound that has been captured is from the phone's internal mic). What am I missing? Thanks

@mattpoulter1953 26 күн бұрын

Note, I've also tried on two different phones with the same outcome to check that it is not an issue with my phone.

@SaramonicUSA 26 күн бұрын

This is likely because you plug in the receiver when the camera app is already launched. The iPhone does not have great audio settings controls, so you have to plug in the receiver 1st, BEFORE you launch the camera or recording app. This will let the app know you are using an external mic. If you already have the camera or recording app open, close it completely, plug in the receiver with the system on, and then relaunch the app and start recording. Give it a quick try and do a test recording, I am sure it will work perfectly. Also, make sure you have the Lightning adapter slid on to the receiver 100%, that could be an issue as well if not fully connected. Let me know ASAP if it does not work and I will help you fast.
