The Saramonic SR-WM4C is a professional VHF camera-mount wireless lavalier microphone system designed for vloggers, mobile journalists, and videographers who demand clear, reliable audio without complexity. The system pairs a lightweight bodypack transmitter with a WM4C-M1 omnidirectional lavalier mic and delivers a wireless range of up to 197 ft across 4 selectable VHF frequencies — ensuring a clean signal even in crowded RF environments.
Plug-and-play simplicity is at the heart of the SR-WM4C: the camera-mount receiver connects directly to your camera or recording device via the included 3.5mm coiled cable, while a built-in headphone output with volume control lets you monitor audio in real time — even on cameras without a headphone jack. With up to 5 hours of battery life on standard AA batteries and support for up to 4 microphones on set, this Saramonic wireless system is a dependable on-location audio upgrade.
