Packed with advanced features such as Timecode synchronization, 32-bit float onboard recording, and rugged IPX5 waterproofing, the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic aims to meet the real challenges professionals face. Below, we explore what makes the Ultra an essential tool in the hands of audio professionals and how it holds up under different use cases.

Saramonic’s Dedication to Audio Excellence

Since 2012, Saramonic has shown a clear dedication to delivering quality audio solutions. The company’s mission has always been to create tools that meet professional demands while remaining accessible to independent creators. Over the years, they’ve developed numerous patented technologies that have played a significant role in advancing modern audio recording. The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic continues this legacy, blending ease of use with robust performance in a portable form factor.

Saramonic has spent over a decade fine-tuning its approach to professional audio equipment. Known for producing products that work intuitively while delivering high-quality output, Saramonic’s vision centers on innovation that serves real-world needs. The Ultra 2-Channel Wireless Microphone System focuses on understanding the nuances of professional audio work and making those processes more efficient.

Throughout its journey, Saramonic has gathered more than 400 patents, an impressive milestone for a young company. With a focus on innovation that truly makes a difference, Saramonic’s products have become trusted tools for content creators and filmmakers worldwide. This product showcases their drive to innovate, pushing what’s possible in a lightweight, wireless microphone system.

Precision at the Core of the Saramonic Ultra

The heart of the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is accuracy and reliability in audio capture. Every feature has been designed to help creators achieve flawless results without the usual hassles associated with professional audio setups. 

Timecode synchronization in the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is designed to solve a common pain point for filmmakers and videographers—matching audio with video footage across multiple devices. This feature ensures frame-perfect alignment, which is a lifesaver during post-production. Whether managing a complex multi-camera shoot or working with a single unit, Timecode ensures the output stays synchronized, cutting down on editing headaches.

This synchronization streamlines workflows and improves the quality of the final product. Eliminating sync errors means fewer retakes and less time spent aligning clips, freeing creators to focus more on their projects’ narrative or creative elements.

Audio environments can be unpredictable—one moment might require capturing a whisper, and the next, a sudden loud cheer. The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic addresses this with 32-bit float recording, which preserves a wide dynamic range, ensuring that all the subtle details are retained. Unlike traditional recording methods where audio can clip and distort, 32-bit float technology provides a clean recording by covering a broader range of sound levels.

The 8 GB onboard storage further complements this functionality, allowing users to focus on capturing content without the constant need to worry about connectivity to other devices. For field journalists or outdoor filmmakers, this feature is particularly handy, allowing greater flexibility while on location.

Noise Control and Enhanced Audio Quality

High-quality audio means capturing the right sound, free from interference and distortion. The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic has been engineered with a host of features to manage noise and enhance vocal clarity, ensuring audio quality that meets professional standards.

ClearVoice is designed to help you capture what matters most—the subject’s voice. In any recording environment, unwanted background noise can interfere with capturing high-quality sound. ClearVoice technology acts to minimize this interference, focusing specifically on vocal frequencies. From recording an interview in a busy city to capturing dialogue during a crowded event, this feature helps bring vocal clarity to the forefront.

In addition to ClearVoice, the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic also features Low-Cut modes and Vocal Boost options that cater to more specialized needs. The Low-Cut mode eliminates low-frequency noises, such as hums from air conditioners, while the Vocal Boost enhances the primary vocal frequencies, ensuring clarity.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is another vital feature for maintaining high-quality sound. Recording conditions can change quickly, and audio levels can shift from quiet to loud without much warning. AGC automatically adjusts the recording levels in real-time, preventing over-modulation and maintaining a balanced output. This means users can focus on capturing the event rather than constantly adjusting audio levels to accommodate the surroundings.

Engineered for Versatile Recording Conditions

Recording environments are diverse, and audio gear must be versatile enough to handle it all. The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is built to thrive in challenging environments, whether on a film set, at a live concert, or outdoors in unpredictable weather.

The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is engineered to handle high-noise environments, capturing clear audio without distortion or clipping, whether it’s a concert or an interview in a crowded venue. Many systems struggle with high sound levels, but this is where the Ultra shines, allowing for greater versatility in where and how you choose to use it.

The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic also has an IPX5 waterproof rating, making it ideal for outdoor shoots where unexpected rain or humidity might compromise your gear. From documenting nature to covering live outdoor events or filming in unpredictable conditions, the Ultra’s waterproof design ensures reliability, allowing creators to focus on the content without worrying about their equipment.

User-Friendly Design That Prioritizes Comfort and Efficiency

The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic has been designed to be as intuitive as possible, reducing friction in the creative process. Its physical design, interface, and connectivity features are all aligned to enhance the user experience, making it a versatile choice for professionals.

The Saramonic Ultra’s 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen provides real-time information such as battery life, audio levels, and signal strength, making it easy for users to monitor and adjust settings on the go, even in low light or direct sunlight.

A convenient physical knob complements the touchscreen, offering tactile control over key settings. This combination allows for easy setting adjustments, whether fine-tuning audio levels or navigating the interface, ensuring the system is incredibly user-friendly.

The Saramonic Ultra also features an external antenna, ensuring reliable wireless transmission even at distances up to 300 meters, which makes it a dependable choice for larger sets or outdoor environments.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic features interchangeable Lightning and USB-C connectors. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, from professional cameras to smartphones. Be it in a studio setting or shooting on location, the connectors make it easy to integrate the microphone into different workflows seamlessly.

The fixed 3.5mm female jack also adds to the connectivity options, ensuring that older equipment or specific setups requiring traditional connections can still be used without fuss. It’s all about providing flexibility without sacrificing simplicity.

Real-World Applications—Where the Saramonic Ultra Shines

A good microphone system adapts to a variety of settings and demands. The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is suited to a wide range of applications, making it a versatile tool for creators across different industries.

The Saramonic Ultra wireless mic is a natural fit for film production and content creation, where capturing synchronized, high-quality audio is non-negotiable. The Timecode synchronization and 32-bit float recording make post-production much smoother, reducing the need for manual sync corrections and ensuring clean, detailed sound.

For live event coverage, the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic’s ability to handle high SPL, combined with intelligent noise management, makes it invaluable. It captures crisp, clear sound even when faced with fluctuating volume levels, ensuring consistent audio quality from the stage to the soundboard.

The rugged IPX5 waterproof rating means that the Saramonic Ultra wireless mic can operate reliably in harsh outdoor environments. From journalism to wildlife documentary work or adventurous travel vlogging, this microphone system is built to endure tough conditions, giving creators one less thing to worry about.

The included charging case further enhances usability, featuring dimensions of 117 × 48.5 × 62.4 mm and a weight of 210.5 g, making it highly portable. The case offers more than one full charging cycle for two transmitters and one receiver, ensuring the system remains powered for longer shoots. With a 2900 mAh battery capacity, the charging case provides up to 24 hours of operating time, making it invaluable during extended sessions or on-location shoots without power access.
