Cautions

General Introduction

Saramonic Ultra, a portable ultimate 2-channel wireless microphone system, provides professional-quality sound within 300 meters* of transmission range. It is ideal for broadcasting, presentations, mobile journalism and more. The system adopts a new self-developed noise cancellation algorithm and low-cut sound mode to effectively eliminate background noise. The transmitter of this system is IPX5-rated for water resistance, performing well in harsh environments.

Saramonic Ultra comes with 32-bit float on-board recording, timecode, and more advanced settings. The 32-bit float on-board recording supports the transmitter recording audio independently, which is available for storing the recording files in real time. Its timecode keeps your video and audio flawlessly synchronized in post-production. The receiver comes with a 1.1-inch touchscreen, displaying information such as wireless signal strength, noise cancellation, battery, volume, time code, recording status, etc. Users can easily adjust various parameters during the recording process.

Saramonic Ultra boasts extensive compatibility. The transmitter incorporates an in-built microphone, and can be connected to an external lavalier microphone (some packages do not include this lavalier microphone; please refer to the actual package purchased). The receiver has a 3.5 mm multi-functional output, which can output audio from the receiver to a camera or mixer. In addition, the included USB-C or Lightning adapter can be used to output audio from the receiver to a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

* Measured in an unobstructed environment without interference, and this data can only be achieved while using the external antenna.

Operation Guide

Placing Transmitter

The transmitter with an in-built microphone can be used with a fur windshield for capturing clear audio outdoors or in windy environments. For using an external lavalier microphone, connect it to the transmitter's 3.5 mm TRS input.

The transmitter can be directly attached to clothing via its magnetic clip, or using with the magnet, offering users greater flexibility when wearing the transmitter.

Antenna Installation

The receiver comes with an in-built antenna. An external antenna can be inserted into the receiver's external antenna port. The receiver will automatically use the external antenna when it is inserted and the in-built antenna is unavailable. If the external antenna is removed, the in-built antenna will be used.

TIP: Using the included external antenna can effectively improve the anti-interference performance.

Pairing Transmitters and Receiver

The transmitters and receiver in the Saramonic Ultra system are paired successfully by default. They will be paired once powered on, indicated by solid blue transmitter status indicators. Follow these methods if they become unpaired:

Method 1: Pair Automatically via Charging Case

Place the transmitters and the receiver in the charging case to pair them automatically. They will become paired after being placed into the case for 5 seconds.

Method 2: Pair Manually

  1. Press and hold the transmitter's power button for 5 seconds in shutdown mode to enter pairing mode. The status indicator on the transmitter blinks blue quickly.
  2. Turn on the receiver by pressing its power button for 2 seconds. Slide left on the touchscreen to enter the Settings Menu, locate the Pairing menu, tap to access the sub menu, then tap Pairing.

If paired successfully, Transmitter's status indicators will be solid blue.

Using with a Mobile Device

Mount the correct adapter (Lightning for iOS, USB-C for Android/other devices) on the receiver according to your device's port. Connect the receiver to your smartphone, tablet, computer, or other mobile device. Launch the recorder or camera app on the connected device to start recording. The audio captured by the transmitter will be transferred to the mobile device. The adapters also support charging the phone when connected to power.

When the receiver is connected to a smartphone or computer, the user can record audio or video, and update or control both the transmitters and receiver via the Saramonic app.

To install the Saramonic app: Scan the QR code provided in the manual with your phone.

To start recording with the app: Launch the Saramonic app, then tap the record icon.

32-bit Float Recording Feature

The Saramonic Ultra transmitter supports recording audio in a 32-bit float file format. This format allows for capturing an extremely wide range of volume levels, ensuring that even if the sound exceeds 0 dB, it will not cause distortion or audio level spikes. Note that 32-bit float recording is only applicable to the onboard recording of the Saramonic Ultra transmitter and will not affect the recording format of the camera.

Timecode Mode

Timecode is a specific code for each frame in audio or video, which perfectly synchronizes your audio or video. It labels every clip with the exact time so that users can quickly find a specific frame, saving time in the editing process. Under the Timecode Mode menu, the user can set the timecode mode.

Icon Description:

Diagram Description: Visual representations of 5 different timecode modes are shown, each with labels like 'Mode 1', 'Mode 2', etc., and icons indicating audio, timecode, headset, or monitoring functions.
