Saramonic UwMic9 Overview

From Manufacturer

The Saramonic UwMic9 Camera-Mount Wireless Cardioid Handheld Microphone System provides vloggers, mobile journalists, and content creators with a quality-sounding, easy-to use, flexible UHF system that packs a set of sophisticated features into a cost-effective solution.

Built for the rough-and-tumble world of production, the lightweight, all-metal components include a handheld transmitter microphone along with a two-channel receiver that's ready to plug into your DSLR/mirrorless camera, recorder, or smartphone (with a cable available separately).

The receiver's two-channel capability allows you to expand your system in the future with an additional transmitter and microphone (available separately) for 2-person interviews—with no additional receiver necessary.

Simple to operate with minimal setup, the UwMic9 lets you capture clear and natural speech for projects ranging from YouTube vlogs and wedding videos to corporate spots and interviews.

Flexible Operation for Clean Sound
  • The microphone's directional cardioid polar pattern helps to reject unwanted background sound, making it ideal in loud environments such as trade-show floors, busy public areas, or sporting events.
  • The combo mute/power button on the mic can be locked with a switch hidden inside the body to prevent the talent from accidentally muting, changing the channel, or powering it down.
  • A protective ring around the perimeter of the grille prevents the HU9 from rolling when resting on flat surfaces.
  • The UWMIC9's Auto Scan feature searches among 96 frequencies to find the cleanest available frequency for you, while the built-in infrared sync makes linking the transmitter and receiver a snap.
  • Easy-to-understand menus and controls, along with backlit LCD displays, allow you to make quick adjustments under varying lighting conditions.
  • The transmitter offers two selectable levels of wireless transmission power. The high setting is designed to overcome interference in busy RF environments or when the subject is further from the receiver; the low setting conserves battery power.
  • A headphone output on the receiver enables real-time audio monitoring, especially useful if your camera lacks a headphone output.
  • Power is supplied via AA batteries for up to 6 hours of battery life.
  • The system offers a maximum distance of up to 330' and supports up to 8 mics at once on set.
Expand Your System and Do More
  • For hands-free interviews and speech, you can add the TX9 bodypack transmitter with an omnidirectional lavalier mic.
  • Adding the TX-XLR9 plug-on transmitter allows you to connect any handheld microphone of your choice or a shotgun mic for wireless booming. You can even apply 48V phantom for condenser mics.
  • A wide selection of optional output cables (available separately) allows you to connect the receiver to smartphones and tablets via Lightning or USB Type-C ports, or the TRRS headphone output. There is also a mini-USB cable for action cameras and a USB Type-A cable for computers.

Saramonic UwMic9 Reviews

Solid Performance

By Christopher
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-08-30

After using the single channel version for a few years I decided to buy the two transmitter package of Saramonic series 9 wireless mics. They come in a strong metal case and have good electronics inside. The receiver can mount on your camera shoe, and the antennas assure long range indoors or outdoors. The tie-clip mics work fine for me, but you can also connect more serious microphones. The 500 MHz UHF frequency range means no interference from WiFi or Bluetooth devices that seem to be everywhere these days.

Works well, except for battery life

By Cesar

I bought this system, plus the transmitter for handheld mics, just over a year ago. The price seemed reasonable, and the reviews looked good. The system works very well. I had one occasion where there was some very noticeable interference, and I couldn't figure out why it was happening. I carry a Sony wired lav, so it worked out for that job (it was a sit-down interview, so no need to walk around with a mic). The only downside is the battery life of the receiver--it goes down FAST. I haven't actually measured how long they actually last (two AA), but it might not be more than an hour or so. To be safe, I usually change the batteries after a couple of jobs, especially if the battery level on the display goes to three or lower. The transmitters' batteries do last quite longer, and I replace them if the level shows two bars. For the money--I didn't have to spend $700 or more for one of the other name brand systems--I'm pretty happy with this. I'm not sure what the battery life is for the Sennheiser or Sony systems, but I'm happy to spend a couple of dollars replacing the batteries in the Saramonic.

We have many portable PA systems and speakers. A good staring point for a battery powered PA speaker that has very good quality sound is the Bose S1. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1405056-REG/bose_787930_1120_s1_pro_multi_position_pa.html You may want to give us a call at 800-606-6969 so that you can discuss options with a Pro Audio associate.
