The Synco WAir-G2-A1 is an ultracompact, single-channel digital wireless microphone system great for shooting videos for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It offers a complete, versatile, and simple-to-use solution for recording dialogue, interviews, and speech directly to a mirrorless/DSLR camera or a mobile device with a 3.5mm input.
The WAir-G2-A1 consists of a single, tiny, and lightweight clip-on transmitter with its own built-in microphone along with a separate lavalier mic that can be used if you prefer a more discreet mic setup. A mute button allows the talent to mute the transmitter quickly and easily. The system also includes a compact receiver that mounts on your camera or mobile device and plugs into its 3.5mm input jack. Built-in DSP processing helps eliminate noise and keeps latency down to 12.5ms for improved audio/video sync.
The system delivers reliable transmission with clear sound at a line-of-sight distance up to 492' (164' with limited obstacles). The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 8 hours of operation and recharge in 1.5 hours via USB Type-C ports. A two-in-one charging cable is provided.
Color TFT displays on the transmitter and receiver show important information, including battery power, mute status, low-cut filter status, and more. Both a 3.5mm TRS cable for camera use and a 3.5mm TRRS cable for smartphone use are included.

- To avoid interference from TV and radio waves, the WAir digital system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band—far away from television, radio, and UHF wireless microphone transmissions.
- The system automatically changes transmission frequency to mitigate noise and dropouts at a line-of-sight distance of up to 492 feet or up to 164 feet when some obstacles are present.
- For optimal performance, environments with limited Wi-Fi/2.4 GHz traffic and minimal physical obstructions are recommended.
