The Saramonic VmicLink5 RX+TX+TX is a portable, two-channel, camera-mountable wireless system that enables you to use clip-on lavalier mics on two separate people while only requiring you to attach a single compact receiver to your camera. This system is perfect for DSLR, video cameras or portable audio recorders for capturing two-person interviews, event videography, film dialog, field recording, broadcast TV and news gathering.
The Saramonic VmicLink5 RX+TX+TX makes the process of using multiple wireless microphones incredibly easy all while offering broadcast-quality sound in a low-cost package. The system works flawlessly right out of the box. Just plug in the mics, turn on the power and go. If it detects potential interference, it automatically switches the frequencies for you. All of these features not only make the VmicLink5 simple to use but create the easiest possible workflow.
The VmicLink5 utilizes the 5.8GHz frequency range, which is much higher and much less congested than 2.4GHz, UHF, and VHF. No other commercially available wireless systems work in the 5.8GHz range. Each unit gets 6 hours of power from included lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, so you won’t be wasting money on disposable batteries.
The VmicLink5 features a single, lightweight RX receiver that mounts to your camera and handles the audio from the two included transmitters. It features individual level controls for each transmitter and a headphone output enables real-time audio monitoring if your camera lacks a headphone output. Locking 1/8” (3.5mm) mini-plug and XLR output cables are both included so you can use it with DSLRs, mirrorless, cinema, camcorders, recorders and professional video cameras.
The VmicLink5 includes two TX transmitters and two SR-M1 omnidirectional lavalier microphones. The transmitters feature a locking 1/8” (3.5mm) microphone input and a dedicated line input that makes wirelessly capturing audio from an external source a snap. The TX transmitter also features a combination Power/Mute button which can be “locked” when in use to prevent accidental muting or powering off.
A custom molded carry case is also included, providing an easy way to transport the VmicLink5 or to provide even more protection when in a bag. Additionally, optional output cables (sold separately) are available, giving you unrivaled connectivity. They make it possible to connect the receiver to smartphones, tablets, computers, GoPro cameras and more. If you need to run more than two wireless transmitters to a single camera-mountable receiver, you need the VmicLink5 RX+TX+TX+TX (sold separately)
What can you do with line-level inputs on the transmitters? Here are just a few example scenarios:
Presentations:
If you’re shooting video of a person speaking on a stage, you can use one transmitter and a lavalier mic on them, so your camera will get clear sounding audio of their voice. Plug a line output or a headphone output from the PA system into the line input on another transmitter, so your camera will get great sounding audio from anyone else who speaks during the presentation, as well as segue music, etc. Put the VmicLink5-RX receiver in Stereo mode to keep the channels separate for better audio mixing options in post-production.
Weddings, parties and celebrations:
This VmicLink5 kit enables you to mic one person at a party and use the second transmitter to connect to the sound system at the event. This way your camera will clearly record the voice of your subject, in addition to capturing nice sounding background music, and the voices of people who speak through the sound system.
Product demonstrations:
With the VmicLink5 (RX+TX+TX) you can have one person on camera wearing a lavalier mic and use the second transmitter for a line-level signal. If they’re demonstrating an electronic musical instrument, you can plug a headphone output or a line output from the instrument into the line input on the transmitter. Or, if they’re demonstrating software, you can connect the headphone output of the computer or mobile device to the line input on the transmitter.
