Product Information

Full details

The Saramonic Ultra 03 Dual Wireless Microphone System is designed for professional videographers, documentarians, and high-end content creators who demand reliable, high-fidelity audio capture in unpredictable environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of 32-bit float recording and timecode synchronization, which virtually eliminates the risk of corrupted audio and simplifies post-production syncing; however, users should note that the advanced feature set requires a moderate learning curve to master the settings on the AMOLED touchscreen.

FAQs

Does the 32-bit float recording work for wireless transmission?

No, 32-bit float recording occurs internally on the transmitter as a backup. The wireless transmission uses standard high-quality digital protocols.

Can I use this with an iPhone?

Yes, the receiver is compatible with smartphones, though you may require a USB-C to Lightning adapter if using older iPhone models.

What does IPX5 resistance mean?

It means the device is protected against water jets from any angle, making it safe to use in light rain, but it should not be submerged in water.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies based on usage and settings, but the included charging case provides convenient on-the-go recharging.

Do I need to format the storage for 32-bit float?

It is recommended to use the internal menu settings to format the storage media before your first use to ensure file compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Audio is clipping in the final edit

Ensure that 32-bit float recording is enabled on the transmitter, which allows for post-production recovery of clipped peaks.

Signal drops or interference

Ensure the external antenna is properly attached and check for physical obstructions between the transmitter and receiver.

Timecode is not syncing

Verify that all devices are set to the same timecode mode and frame rate in the device menu.
