Q: 2. No lavaliere mic included? That's unexpected.

A: Since the transmitters have built-in microphones, the SmallRig Forevala W60 2-Person Compact Wireless Microphone System does not include separate external microphones and the manufacturer makes it an option for the user, Similar wireless mic systems like the Rode Wireless GO II and DJI Mic Wireless Microphone Systems do not include separate external microphones either. Since the transmitters for these systems feature built-in microphones and many users only want to use the built-in mics, the manufacturers make it an option for the user to decide so if they prefer using an external mic, they can purchase the compatible microphones that they would like to use. This way, if the user prefers a headset or earset style mic instead of a lavalier, they can get the type of mic and the model for the mic that they like best.

Q: 3. The unit won't work with the supplied cable and an XLR adaptor the supplied cable into my camera XLR input, Is there a fix?

A: Please be sure that the receiver for the Saramonic Blink Me 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System is set to "mono" mode when using a single XLR adapter. For "stereo" mode, a 3.5mm to dual XLR Y-cable, like the Saramonic SR-UM10-CC1 3.5mm TRS to Two XLR Male Output Y-Cable for Wireless Mic Systems (B&H # SASRUM10CC1), should be used. Additionally, make sure the camera's input level is set for "mic" and the phantom power setting (48V) is turned off.

Q: 4. In the manual, it states that "if the receiver reaches its safe battery level it will stop charging the transmitters". Huh?

A: Unfortunately, there was an error in the wording of the user manual for the Saramonic Blink Me 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System. Instead of stating "if the receiver reaches its safe battery level it will stop charging the transmitters," it should say "it will start charging the transmitters." Saramonic has been made aware of the error and apologizes for any confusion it has caused.

Q: 5. Does it record each channel separately?

A: Yes. The Saramonic Blink Me 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System does have a built-in recording feature on the transmitters, allowing them to record audio from each mic directly onto the transmitter's internal memory. Additionally, the receiver has 3 output settings: Mono, allowing you to record the mics mixed; Stereo, separating the mics to the left and right outputs; or Safety Mono, mixing the mics with a full signal on the left and a -6 dB safety track on the right. So you can record audio with the two mics separated onto different channels when using the Stereo output setting.

Q: 6. Can a multiple systems be added for a total of four users or more?

A: The Saramonic Blink Me 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System with Touchscreens & Recording (B&H # SABLINKMEB2) will offer the best performance and reliability when no more than two systems (four users total) are used simultaneously in a closed space.
