QuestionIs it good for recording sports? Like mic'n up players during practice?
Asked 4 years ago by Danbino.
- Answer Yes, if on the side of the field for interviews. No, if you are trying to mic them up while they practice. You will see the NFL do this and it is possible, but what they use are exceptionally high end systems that usually go for about $3000 to $4000 per mic and they have antenna paddles on both sides of the field about every 10-20'. If you're trying to do that, you need a serious wireless system with serious antenna distribution.

QuestionCan it be used with a laptop for a conference meeting and how are the mics charged (battery)?
Asked 5 years ago by NenKirk.
- Answer Yes. You can use the TRS cable into a computer's microphone input, or the TRRS cable to go into the headphone port on modern computers that have a TRRS headphone port (check your computer's spec). The microphone transmitters and receiver are powered by internal Li-Ion batteries and charged via the USB-C port and included cables.

QuestionWill it connect to a Bluetooth speaker to project a voice?
Asked 4 years ago by TeacherQ.
- Answer Yes, you can connect the 3.5mm output to the 3.5mm input of a Bluetooth speaker to project the voice. But please try to be away from the speaker or have the speaker pointed away from you as you have the microphone on you to avoid feedback.

QuestionI bought this microphone and cannot get it to work with any device I have. I bought a lightning adapter. It seems like no device recognizes it. I called the customer support and they told me I needed a microphone app - still not working.
Asked 4 years ago by Drish.
- Answer You need to make sure you are using the proper cable and proper side of the cable going into the Lightning adapter and have a Lightning adapter that accepts TRRS inputs. 1st: Is you Lighting adapter the correct one? If it is the Apple 3.5mm Lightning Headphone adapter it is. If it is a 3rd party, you need to check and make sure it has a TRRS connector and not just TRS. 2nd: You want to make sure to use the TRS to TRRS cable. This is the right-angle (into Blink Receiver) and the straight side (into phone or Lightning adapter) 3rd: Make sure you are using a proper recording app. The iPhone's video app will work great, but make sure you connect the Lighting adapter AND Blink System while on BEFORE you start the app. I would guarentee one of those above issues was missed and that is what is causing the issue.

QuestionGreetings, I have the Saramonic Blink Pro X B2, and I can't seem to get it to work on zoom calls. The other person hears me but I cannot hear them. I use the TRRS to plug into the 3.5mm jack on my MacBook Pro 16" computer. What's wrong?
Asked 2 years ago by Lois.
- Answer That is the settings issue in Zoom, it is very easy to set it up properly. Go to Zoom's audio settings and for Speaker, choose MacBook Pro Speakers, for Microphone, choose External Microphone. You can then test the mic and speaker right from the settings menu. That is all you need to do to make it work.

QuestionCan this be used as a wireless mic for a google smartphone for a Zoom hybrid meeting, to pass around to those present in the inperson meeting so that those on the Zoom meeting can hear each participant?
Asked 2 years ago by ThomasMC.
- Answer Yes, it can. I see that someone had suggested adding a handheld mic to it, that would work too but is not needed. The Blink 500 Transmitters' have a great omni mic that will pick up a subject well within 6" from the mic. They are also shaped well for handheld use.

QuestionWill this compatible with a Canon EOS m200? Looking for something that I can use at the gym.
Asked 2 years ago by B.
- Answer Unfortunately, the Canon EOS M200 does not have a 3.5mm microphone jack, so no external microphones will work. You will need to use an external audio recorder to plug in external mics.

Asked 2 years ago by Derik.

QuestionCan a headset be plugged into the receiver to use this as a personal amplifier during a lecture?
Asked 3 years ago by Gold.
- Answer If you are asking if you can plug a pair of headphone in to the receiver to monitor what is being transmitters: I would not suggest it. The output is not powerful enough to drive headphones properly because it is designed to be plugged into a mic input of a camera, recorder, mixer, etc.. If you are asking can you plug in a headset mic in to the transmitter: Yes, as long as it is a TRS headset mic.

QuestionDo I need a receiver to facilitate audio recording while recording camera or computer capture video?
Asked 3 years ago by MungoMedia.
- Answer It comes with a receiver which plugs into your camera and/or audio capture device. Pretty much everything you need to have wireless recording is in the box. Hard to find a better value for a wireless recording system.
