Saramonic’s New K9 Dual-Channel UHF Wireless Audio System Unveiled at NAB
At the recent NAB Show in Las Vegas, audio specialist Saramonic unveiled its brand new K9 Dual-Channel UHF Wireless Audio System, designed to provide high-quality wireless transmission and recording capabilities. The system boasts a range of innovative features that set it apart from other solutions on the market.
One of the key highlights of the K9 is its ability to record onboard and transmit wirelessly simultaneously, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications, including film, television, live sound and broadcasting. The unit’s proprietary digital RF modulation technology ensures reliable transmission up to 200 meters at 100mW and over 180 meters at 50mW in unobstructed and interference-free environments.
The K9 system is available in two versions: a U.S.-specific model that adheres to the country’s regulations, and a global version that offers full functionality. The U.S. version, priced at $999.99, retains 32-bit float onboard recording and timecode features, but with software-controlled restrictions based on the unit’s geographic location. When used outside of the U.S., GPS detection enables the full range of functionalities.
In contrast, the Global version can be purchased for £949 or €999 and offers the complete suite of features without any geographical restrictions. Both versions are available for purchase through Saramonic’s official website, U.S. online store, and Amazon.
The K9’s technical specifications are equally impressive, with a range of performance metrics that highlight its exceptional quality and reliability. Key specs include transmission frequencies up to 20Hz-20kHz, latency less than 6.3ms, signal-to-noise ratio of ≥104dB, and distortion below 0.5%. The unit also features USB-C charging capabilities, allowing for extended recording sessions without the need for a separate power source.
In addition to its main functionality, the K9 system includes a lavalier microphone that is designed to provide exceptional audio quality. Key specs for the mic include an omnidirectional polar pattern, maximum SPL of 118dBSPL, and dynamic range of 110dB. The unit is also weather-resistant with an IP67 rating.
Saramonic’s K9 Dual-Channel UHF Wireless Audio System has the potential to revolutionize the way audio professionals approach wireless transmission and recording. With its innovative features, exceptional performance metrics, and flexibility, it’s no wonder that Saramonic has already generated significant buzz in the industry.
