Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this microphone for Zoom calls as well?

A: YES, I use it with my MacBook all the time. Just make sure to use the TRRS output cable (straight end in) into the headphone port of your laptop. Then, you can use the laptop speakers to hear the other people on the zoom call while they hear you on the Blink 500.

Q: 2. Can i get an adapter to change the audio output from 3.5mm to USB Type-C or Micro depending on what device i connect it to?

A: The Saramonic SR-C2003 is an excellent 3.5mm Female to USB-C adapter that would work perfectly for this. I have not seen a MicroUSB adapter that can handle audio. As far as I know the protocol is not up to the challenge, that is why USB-C took over. BUT and phone that has MIcroUSB will have a headphone port, for that use the included 3.5mm TRS to TRRS output cable that comes with the Blink 500 B1 & B2.

Q: 3. Hi, I was hoping to know what the best frequency range for New York City would be?

A: NYC is a very flooded market with something on every frequency. The frequency bank you choose will not matter as much as making sure you do a scan at every new location you go to.

Q: 4. Which set of frequencies might be best for the Hudson Valley region of New York from Westchester to Albany?

A: The A band would be best for the EW112PG4 system. BH #SEEW112PG4A.

Q: 5. What is antenna diversity? I'm looking for what I call "true" diversity - multiple receive antennas.

A: "If you glance at the Sennheiser EK 100 receiver, you only see one antenna. However, if you write it off as a non-diversity system, you are mistaken. The EK 100 features a technology called “adaptive diversity,” which utilizes the connected output cable as the second antenna, making it a diversity receiver. By using the ground connection of its output as the link to a second antenna, it provides improved reception and reliability" Taken from "Understanding the Basics of Sennheiser G3 Camera-Mount Wireless Systems" https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/pro-audio/hands-on-review/understanding-the-basics-of-sennheiser-g3-camera-mount-wireless-systems.

Q: 6. How does the receiver attach to a canon rp?

A: The receiver slides right into the shoe mount on top of the camera. If you have the shoe mount in use, you can always get a multi-shoe mount to mount multiple accessories, or because the Blink 500 receiver is so light, you can even clip it to the camera strap.

Q: 7. As non-diversity, is this system subjected to more dropouts that true diversity? Can anyone shed some light based on experience?

A: A non-diversity wireless system may not have the same distance capability, or frequency agility as a true diversity wireless system.

Q: 8. Would this work well for live sound plugging the receiver into an active speaker with built in mixer and two mic channels?

A: The Saramonic UwMic9 2-Person Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System Kit that you asked about can work for live sound, feeding into XLR mic inputs on a mixer or speaker. If you don't strictly need battery power though, a stationary wireless system will usually be more reliable. I would recommend considering this Sennheiser XSW1 dual system: https://bhpho.to/2TyfIGm or, on a more limited budget, this Samson Concert 288 system: https://bhpho.to/3PfE6bE

Q: 9. Can the wireless receiver operate while charging?

A: No. the receiver can not be used while it is charging.

Q: 10. Is there any downside to getting two systems that are in different bands (e.g. A and G)?

A: There is not.
