Specializing in smaller lightweight solutions for videographers who shoot primarily on smaller camcorders, DSLRs, Mirrorless, GoPro and Smartphones, Saramonic prides themselves on taking a slightly different approach with their audio-for-video solutions by offering unique features and benefits not commonly found on similar systems.
Audio-for-video isn’t necessarily one of those sexy categories that you think about right away when planning your next video production, but choosing the right microphone, mixer or recorder for your video shoot, is arguably just as important as choosing the right lens or camera.
An example of this approach can be found with their UwMic9 UHF wireless system.
Knowing that sound, size and portability are all important factors, Saramonic also identified the need for a solution that offers users the capability to receive dual channels of transmission through a single device. Examples these types of situations might include DSLR videography at weddings or events, field recording and interviews.
As mentioned above, the UwMic9 is an ideal solution for DSLR videographers by eliminating the need to mount two separate receivers or a more complex mounting system to hold them thus keeping equipment size and weight down to a minimum.
UwMic9 Key Features:
- Reliable, broadcast-quality audio
- 2X Wireless transmitters with lavalier microphone
- UHF Frequency Range: 514 MHz – 596 MHz; 96 selectable channels in 2 groups
- Operating Range: Over 330-feet (100m) in open areas or 200-feet (60m) with obstacles
- Easy-to-read LCD displays
Also available in single and dual lav kits or with Handheld mic and XLR plug-on transmitters.
