Saramonic, a global leader in professional audio technology, has officially launched its first dual-channel digital UHF wireless audio system, the Saramonic K9, now available for purchase in the Philippines. The announcement, made during a launch event at Studio J in Sta. Mesa, Manila, also marked an innovative year for the brand as it introduced a new lineup of microphones tailored for a wide range of creators.
The new Saramonic Ultra, Saramonic Mix, and Saramonic Air microphone systems are designed for specific users, from professional filmmakers and content creators to mobile journalists. This expansion reinforces Saramonic’s commitment to user-focused audio solutions, aiming to empower creators to achieve remarkable sound quality.
Cinema-Grade Precision with the Saramonic K9
The flagship of the launch, the Saramonic K9, is a professional system engineered with features that audio professionals demand. It operates on an ultra-wide 550–960 MHz digital UHF spectrum, which provides a stronger anti-interference performance compared to analog systems by converting audio signals into a digital format before transmission. This technology allows the K9 to auto-scan and lock onto optimal channels in just 0.3 seconds, ensuring reliability even in crowded RF environments.
Designed for filmmakers, the K9 boasts a high dynamic range of 130 dB and features 32-bit float onboard recording with 32GB of storage. This combination safeguards pristine audio, capturing everything from quiet whispers to loud explosions without clipping, offering immense flexibility in post-production. Furthermore, its timecode sync capability ensures frame-perfect alignment for multi-camera shoots, significantly reducing editing time. For added convenience on set, the Saramonic System allows for remote control of up to 48 devices, which is ideal when transmitters are difficult to access on talent. The system also includes the industry’s smallest IP67-rated lavalier microphone, which measures only 3mm in diameter and can withstand dust, sweat, and rain while remaining virtually invisible.
A New Microphone for Every Creator
Alongside the K9, Saramonic unveiled three new wireless microphone systems designed to meet diverse market demands.
The Saramonic Ultra is engineered for high-performance professional use. It features 32-bit float recording, a 130 dB max SPL, timecode syncing, and IPX5-rated transmitters. An external antenna enhances signal reliability, making it suitable for demanding shooting environments.
For those needing a compact yet powerful solution, the Saramonic Mix offers a professional-grade recording experience for interviews, short videos, and vlogging. It includes a mic-in port for wired lavaliers, Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) technology to resist interference, and auto-gain control for consistently balanced sound.
Finally, the Saramonic Air is a sleek, dual-channel 2.4 GHz wireless microphone system designed with modern content creators in mind. Its futuristic, transparent metal case lid allows for quick storage checks on the go. The receiver features a 1.05″ color display for real-time monitoring and includes a 3.5mm audio jack. It supports dedicated lavalier mics with a premium 9.7mm capsule for rich, natural vocals. With USB-C, Lightning, and 3.5mm TRS outputs, it connects seamlessly to phones, cameras, and computers, even allowing recording to two devices simultaneously.
