Amazing wireless microphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this recently to do videos for my business. One of my pet peeves is listening to people on facebook that sound like they are a mile away from their phone. I had to remedy this so I wasn't another person doing the same thing. I loved how easily it connected and how well it sounds on live or recorded video. This is by far the easiest and best sound you can get before actually getting professional equipment and paying a fortune. Don't hesitate to buy it.

Q: QuestionSaramonic 2.4 GHz 2-Person Wireless Clip-On Mic System w/ Lavs & Lightning Receiver iPhone & iPad (Blink 500 B4) having trouble getting it to work with facebook on Iphone 11, does work with camera app
Asked by Jim.
- A:Answer This is a new problem with iOS14 and Facebook. Until they properly apply updates that allow this, it will not work. That can take time and I suggest contacting Facebook support to speed up the process. BUT... I have created a work-around that fixes this. Please contact support@saramonicusa.com and we will provide an easy how-to. It is too involved for this medium. Speak soon!

Q: QuestionWill both mics work at the same time while receiver is in? I am attempting to go live on a app/ website with an additional person
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, in Mono mode. As long as the application you're using allows external lightning microphones.

Q: QuestionCan this work with iPhone's live listen feature where the incoming audio can be monitored with AirPod Pros
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I am not certain because I do not have an iPhone and AirPods to test, but from my research it does not seem like it's likely. I have done research on forums and no one has tested this yet, or got external mics to work. I would recommend asking Apple support to see if external Lightning microphones work with Live Listen.

Q: QuestionI have Saramonic blink500 Di and when plugged into iphoneSE I can record but not hear play back. I cannot get mics to work with Zoom or FaceTime
Asked by Richie.
- A:Answer Unfortunately this is a limitation of those applications. Zoom and FaceTime only allow one source for microphone in and speaker out. So when you use a lightning microphone, unfortunately those applications do not give you the option to select the speaker on the phone as an output. This is a limitation of the app, and not this or any microphone. I have been in discussions with Zoom to let them know that expended audio preferences for their mobile applications are a necessity, but unfortunately they have not added that functionality yet. FaceTime is unlikely to add that functionality because they expect users to be using the iPhone's microphone and speaker.

Q: QuestionHello, I am unable to get this to work when trying to live stream via the MindBody app. It is working when I try to use the native camera/vido apps on my Iphone. Do you have any suggestions for how to get this to sync up? Thanks,
Asked by Katie.
- A:Answer I am not familiar with the MindBody app and it is a very real possibility that the app does not allow external Lightning microphones. I would contact the MindBody app support and ask them if their app supports external Lightning microphones.

Q: QuestionAs main source of audio for main speaker, will the receiver (stick) connect directly to Mac Book or is it necessary to use the lightning to headphone jack adapter instead? If adapter is necessary, are there any other parts not included in box?
Asked by WebZoomer.
- A:Answer MacBooks don't have a Lightning port. There is no Lightning to USB or USB-C adapter I've seen that works. So, you cannot use the RXDI receiver with any computer, you can only use it with iPads and iPhones with Lightning. You can use the Blink systems (B5 & B6) with the RXUC receiver, or add the RXUC receiver à la carte to the B3 system and have both.

Q: QuestionThis may be similar to a question posted by Thomas 3 mos ago: I want to film videos on my iPhone 11. Will this microphone be compatible with Apple's native video filming feature (from Photos?)I know it doesn't work with Airpods.
Asked by Nancy.
- A:Answer Yes it will work with the native video app. Make sure you plug in the receiver before you start the video app. I have use the AirPods with Filmic Pro and was able to monitor in real-time.
