The Blink 500 Pro B8 is an ideal solution for users who need a simple to use 4-person wireless system with a single camera-mountable receiver.

Just power on, connect the receiver, clip a mic on your subjects, and go. It’s just that easy.
Incredibly Compact, Lightweight, and Very Discrete Clip-On Microphones
The Blink500 Pro B8 system has four TXS clip-on transmitters with a high-quality built-in omnidirectional microphone. At less than 2.5 x 0.5” and only half an ounce, they’re small and light enough to clip to shirts or clothing with ease, versatile enough to place on a table or podium, and even pass around to use handheld. They feature tactile 6-step gain control to dial in perfect levels for each subject, and a soft-touch mute if your subject needs privacy. Each TXS transmitter also includes a press-on high-wind furry windscreen to protect against wind gusts outdoors and pops and sibilance indoors.
Compact 4-Channel Camera-Mountable Receiver with 3.5mm Headphone Out
The Blink500 Pro 4RX receiver is small and lightweight, but there is big power in this small camera-mountable receiver. It includes 2x Output cables a 3.5mm TRS Y cable for cameras, recorders, mixers, and more, and a 3.5mm TRRS Y cable for Smartphones, Tablets, and Computers with a 3.5mm TRRS headphone port. Easily pair the TRRS cable with a Lightning or USB-C dongle (sold separately) for devices without a 3.5mm headphone port. Its 3.5mm headphone output with level control allows you to monitor the sound in real-time, especially vital if your camera or device lacks a headphone output. It also features a vivid OLED display that shows you the RX’s battery life and headphone level, and each transmitters’ level meter with just a glance.
Two 3.5mm Outputs to Mix, Split, or Record Each Mic Separately for Maximum Flexibility
The Blink 500 Pro B8’s 4RX receiver features two 3.5mm TRS outputs that work seamlessly with either the included TRS and TRRS Y cables in Mono mode, mixing all four mics together. With the TRS Y cable you can split the two mics from A1/B1 to the Left and two mics from A2/B2 to the Right in Stereo mode. Switch the receiver to 4-Track Mode Stereo and add the optional SR-C2019 Dual 3.5mm TRS Male to Four 3.5mm TRS Male Cable, or the optional SR-C2019 Dual 3.5mm TRS Male to Four XLR Male Cable (both sold separately) to record each mic separately to multi-channel recorders, mixers, and more.
