Essential Information About the U5 Wireless System

  • Ready-to-shoot interview kit : 2 transmitters + 1 dual-channel True Diversity receiver, delivered with 2 Lavalier microphones to easily capture two speakers.
  • Uncompressed 2.4 GHz digital transmission : clear, stable, and consistent sound, with 24-bit / 48 kHz A/D conversion for faithful reproduction.
  • Low latency and high intelligibility : 6 ms latency, frequency response 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and dynamic range up to 107 dB (line mode).
  • Field-oriented battery life : 3 removable rechargeable batteries, approximately 5 hours of use, USB cable included.

A 2.4 GHz dual-channel system designed for video and interviews

The U5 belongs to the category of modern digital wireless systems operating at 2.4 GHz, an approach appreciated in video production for its straightforward implementation and consistent performance. The idea here is clear: to offer a dual-speaker solution (two transmitters) with a dual-channel True Diversity receiver, to secure the connection and maintain usable sound even when shooting conditions become mobile (standing interviews, movement, on-the-fly capture).

With its 6 channels and a range advertised up to 30 m unobstructed, the U5 targets common lightweight shooting setups: tripod-mounted camera, reporting, corporate shoots, or quick interviews where one wants to avoid the complexity of long and visible cabling.

Who the U5 is for and where it makes a difference

This wireless system is designed for creators and teams who need clear and consistent sound without multiplying accessories: videographers, journalists, podcasters in filmed interview situations, trainers, speakers, or technicians working on institutional content. Thanks to the Lavalier microphones, the voice stays close to the source, significantly improving intelligibility in uncontrolled environments (reverberant rooms, indoor shoots, on-camera takes).

The transmitters accept either a Lavalier microphone or a line-level signal via their 3.5 mm jack input. This opens practical uses: Lavalier mic for interviews, or connection of a line source when the shoot requires it. The receiver, on its side, offers a stereo output on a 3.5 mm jack, facilitating signal routing to many audio/video capture devices equipped with a corresponding input.

Key features and strengths in real-world conditions

Dual-channel True Diversity receiver: enhanced link reliability

The dual-channel True Diversity receiver is designed to strengthen reception stability. In the field, this translates to a more reliable connection when transmitters move, orientation changes, or the environment creates reflections. For a two-person interview, the dual channel manages both sources while maintaining a compact setup.

Uncompressed digital audio: natural voice reproduction

The audio chain relies on uncompressed digital transmission and 24-bit / 48 kHz A/D conversion. The goal: preserve transients, maintain clear articulation, and avoid the "muffled" effect sometimes associated with more aggressive processing. The 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response helps keep a clean low end and clear highs, particularly useful for presence and consonant clarity.

6 ms latency: comfortable synchronization for video

With an announced 6 ms latency, the U5 is suitable for video and interview uses where lip-sync and live feel are important. This contained latency helps avoid the impression of delay, whether for a subject speaking on camera, a two-voice dialogue, or a filmed presentation.

Two dynamic modes: adapted for microphone and line level

The system offers a 99 dB dynamic range in mic mode and 107 dB in line mode. Practically, this helps handle a wide variety of levels without the sound quickly becoming "compressed": soft voice in interviews, projected voice in presentations, or stronger line-level signals depending on the source. It also helps keep background noise controlled when gain needs to be increased during capture.

Removable batteries and autonomy: designed for continuous shooting

On set, power and continuity are crucial. The U5 comes with 3 removable rechargeable batteries (two for the transmitters, one for the receiver) and offers about 5 hours of autonomy. The included USB cable simplifies charging and organization between sessions: preparation the day before, charging on a USB station, or topping up between interviews.
