SARAMONIC Blink Me 2-Person Smart Wireless Microphone System

Hello! Effswell here, and thanks to a recent delivery from Performer Magazine, I’m thrilled to share my TOP FIVE FAVORITE FEATURES of the ALL-NEW Blink Me 2-person wireless microphone system from Saramonic.

NUMBER 5: Customizable home screens on the transmitters

Not only does the Blink Me system come with TWO transmitters (TX) for double the 2.4GHz digital frequency transmission fun, but these babies can easily be customized with ANY photo or logo of your choice.

For musicians, bands, and content creators, this feature provides an extra layer of customization that can highlight product images, brand logos, a professional headshot portrait, or even just your social media handle; for every video project you shoot! Wearing each transmitter is as simple as attaching either one of the included magnets or clips to the back of the unit and getting started.

NUMBER 4: The Compact Size of the Blink Me

The total mass of this wonderful microphone system shook me to my core. With its included carrying case, the entire Blink Me System can be easily transported, set up, used for a project, and re-packed before some competing mic systems can even press “RECORD”! This advanced portability makes the Blink Me an ideal system for recording crystal clear, 24bit/ 48kHz interviews; which, for musicians in this digital age, are one of the most effective ways for both established and new audiences alike to familiarize themselves with your personality and unique style!

NUMBER 3: A Dual Receiver with Super Powers

Not only does the Blink Me receiver (RX) feature its own touchscreen like the two transmitters, but it also serves as the CHARGING PORT for both transmitters. With a simple magnetic connection, your transmitters will charge DIRECTLY from the body of the Receiver; with either one or both transmitters attached. When making music or content on-the- go, this is a huge benefit because if you’re anything like me, you may be prone to losing physical items often. Don’t worry -- the Blink Me keeps every piece of equipment together and the receiver boasts 24 hours of battery life on a full charge. With 6-8 hours of battery life for each transmitter without re-charging, the Blink Me allows for plenty of time capturing ideas in the field. The best part? It’s all by design.

NUMBER 2: Multi-Use Recording Functionality

Whether you’re capturing audio for a video interview, on-street reactions or even a product demo (like this one), the Blink Me will have you COVERED! This mic system can record in three modes: Mono, Stereo, and Safety Mono; each with its own perks. Mono will mix both mics on the same output. Stereo separates each mic into Left and Right mixes that are then isolated and can be mixed together in post-production. Safety Mono is one of my personal favorite settings because like mono it mixes both input channels into the Left output AND ALSO records a Safety track to the Right output, which automatically ensures your audio won’t suffer from clipping because it’s captured at -6dB.

NUMBER 1: USE IT WITH YOUR CELL PHONE TOO!

Almost every wearable microphone system on the market is compatible with cameras, but the Blink Me takes its versatility a step further by allowing users to record audio into their Android or iOS devices directly*.

This is achieved by accessing either the USB-C output for devices like tablets, phones, & computers or the 3.5mm output, which plugs into professional-grade cameras with the help of the included TRRS audio output cable. Both outputs can also record at the same time to multiple devices. How cool is that?

*For reference, I’ve recorded the entire audio segment of this review’s companion video (out now on Performer’s YouTube channel) using the Blink Me mic system. I added a bit of noise reduction in post, and the sound in my review video is the final result. Visit
