The Air lav mic features a ⌀9.7 mm capsule with a ⌀6 mm large diaphragm that is 1.5x larger than typical wireless mics, delivering faster transient response, wider dynamic range, and greater sound detail. It's ideal for recording instruments, ambient sounds, and other audio with varying intensities. Its compact size allows for easy concealment under clothing, making it perfect for professional setups like interviews, short films, and music production.
No, it uses a custom ultra-compact TS9 connector instead of a standard 3.5mm jack. This design keeps the transmitter small and lightweight while ensuring flexible and discreet use.
Both the transmitter and receiver need to enter pairing mode:
Press and hold the transmitter power button for 5 seconds while it's off. The blue LED will start flashing rapidly.
- On the receiver, go to the menu and enable pairing.
- Once the transmitter LED turns solid blue, pairing is complete.
The app adds functions such as EQ adjustment, Receiver auto power on/off with the camera, and firmware updates.
Noise cancellation can be activated via the receiver or the app.
Strong mode is suitable for noisy outdoor environments. Light mode is ideal for indoor use.
Saramonic Air supports three output modes: Mono, Stereo, and Safety Track.
M (Mono): Audio from two transmitters is combined into a single output track.
S (Stereo): Audio from two transmitters is recorded to separate output channels.
Ms (Safety Track): A secondary audio track is recorded at -6 dB as a backup to prevent distortion from unexpected loud sounds.
* Post-production separation is required to use the safety track.
Yes, you can turn it off from the receiver’s menu. Connection status can still be monitored on the receiver’s screen.
The limiter reduces portions of the audio signal that exceed a set threshold to prevent distortion caused by signal overload.
Compatible with cameras, smartphones (USB-C, Lightning), computers, and some action cameras (DJI Action 4, DJI Osmo Pocket 3).
Yes, with the Saramonic hot shoe adapter, the receiver supports digital audio transmission for select Sony camera models. Please refer to the compatibility list for details.
Yes. During recording, the receiver and smartphone can be charged simultaneously for uninterrupted use.
Up to 300 meters in open environments.
When fully charged, the case can recharge the transmitters and receiver approximately 1.5 times each.
Yes, the Lightning adapter is available as a separate accessory. Once purchased, you can remove the silicone plug in the case and store the adapter in the slot.
Yes.
The camera’s origimal gain setting can amplify the microphone’s self-noise, so we recommend lowering the camera’s gain before use.
