SmallRig S70 Wireless Microphone with Multi-Device Compatibility (White) 5716

FAQs:

What devices can the SmallRig S70 connect to?

The system includes two receiver types for different recording setups. The USB-C plug-in receiver connects to compatible mainstream Android and Apple smartphones and can draw power from a connected device. The camera-mount receiver uses a 3.5mm TRS output for cameras. This means the same microphone kit can move between phone-led content, camera work, vlogging and interviews without changing transmitters.

How small are the transmitters when clipped to clothing?

Each transmitter has a semi-concealed design with exposed parts measuring 2.9 x 0.9cm. The transmitter weighs 8.8g, so it places a negligible pull on a collar or shirt. The nitinol memory-alloy clip holds it in position while keeping the visible profile to a minimum. This keeps the microphone less distracting on camera while still placing the built-in mic close to the voice.

How does the system manage noisy recording locations?

The S70 offers three noise-reduction levels, so you can reduce background noise around speech when the location becomes busier. Five gain levels let you adjust the input level before the sound reaches the recording device. The auto limiter reacts to sudden peaks and suppresses them before they clip. These controls work together to keep voices clearer when the speaker moves, laughs or speaks more loudly.

What recording modes are available?

The system supports mono, stereo and also safety track recording. Mono places the audio into a simple shared signal for straightforward speech recording. Stereo can separate two sources across channels for added control later. Safety track recording provides extra protection by keeping a lower-level version available when sudden loud moments would otherwise distort.

How long can the SmallRig S70 run for?

Each transmitter runs for up to 8 hours on a single charge. The included charging case has an integrated battery extending the total system runtime to over 40 hours. In practice, the transmitters go back into the case between recordings, where they recharge while packed away. This suits travel filming, daily vlogging and interviews spread across multiple sessions.
