At IBC 2025, we caught up with Madeleine Budd from Saramonic to discuss the company’s latest wireless microphone system. Saramonic, the Shenzhen-based Chinese manufacturer founded in 2011, continues its focus on professional audio solutions with the launch of the new Air wireless microphone system. As a leading manufacturer providing affordable, high-quality sound solutions, the company has been expanding its product portfolio significantly over the past year, targeting both entry-level creators and seasoned professionals.

The Saramonic Air represents the company’s approach to addressing the crowded 2.4GHz wireless microphone market through miniaturization. The system features what the company claims are the smallest transmitters in the industry that still accommodate lavalier microphone inputs. This design choice prioritizes portability, with the entire system fitting comfortably in a pocket.

The Air system targets content creators seeking lavalier capability in an ultra-portable package. Saramonic positions the product as bridging the gap between basic clip-on systems and more feature-rich professional solutions like their Ultra series, which offers 32-bit float and internal recording capabilities.

The system’s emphasis on size reduction and lavalier support reflects current market trends toward discrete recording solutions for content creators working in varied environments where traditional boom or handheld microphones may be impractical.

The charging case includes an integrated display showing battery status, addressing practical workflow concerns for field recording. According to Saramonic, the case provides 48 hours total battery life, supporting multi-day shoots without requiring recharging.

Technical specifications

The Air system ships with two clip-on transmitters and one receiver. Each transmitter features a proprietary connector design, replacing the standard 3.5mm jack to maintain the compact form factor. The system supports a maximum SPL of 120dB on the included lavalier microphones.

Unlike some of Saramonic’s higher-end products, such as the K9 and Ultra systems, the Air does not include 32-bit float recording. However, the system incorporates a safety track feature for recording protection.

We are also happy to report that the transmitters maintain a professional appearance, featuring minimal branding to avoid drawing attention during recording sessions!
