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:

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.
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).
