The Synco WAir-G1-A1 is an ultracompact, single-channel digital wireless microphone system great for shooting videos for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. It offers a complete, versatile, and simple-to-use solution for recording dialogue, interviews, and speech directly to a mirrorless/DSLR camera or a mobile device with a 3.5mm input.

The WAir-G1-A1 consists of a single tiny, lightweight clip-on transmitter with its own built-in microphone along with a separate lavalier mic that can be used if you prefer a more discreet mic setup. The system also includes a single-channel compact receiver that mounts on your camera or mobile device and plugs into its 3.5mm input jack. Both a 3.5mm TRS cable for camera use and a 3.5mm TRRS cable for smartphone use are included.

The system delivers reliable transmission with clear sound at a line-of-sight distance up to 230' (131' with limited obstacles). The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 5 hours of operation and recharge in 1.5 hours via USB Type-C ports.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you run transmitter or receiver with power from a power bank?

A: No. These will not work while plugged in to a power source.

Q: 2. How do you adjust the gain on the TRANSMITTER? not the receiver. I'm getting clipping in most of my interviews at the transmiter

A: The Synco WAIR-G2-A2 transmitters do not have gain controls.

Q: 3. I know theres a new one coming with the screen that would show levels and battery level. I think it will be the same but does this have a way to mute one?

A: No, the Synco WAir-G1-A2 transmitters do not have a mute switch to mute the audio while the wireless system is in use.

Q: 4. Would you recommend this cable to use when both mics are being used? If so, would the audio be mixed together or will they be on separate channels? B&H #HOHMX003Y

A: You have the option to switch between mono or stereo on the receiver: Recording in mono combines both microphones on both the left and right side of your audio track. Recording in stereo puts one person on the left and the other person on the right, allowing you to isolate each person's dialog and adjust each level individually later in post.

Q: 5. Are these mono or stereo?

A: The output from the receiver is dual mono. The connector is 3.5mm TRS and sends a combined signal with both mics to your camera or recorder. The audio is the same on the left and right sides.

Q: 6. hi there! Does anyone know what exactly comes in the box? Are there lab mics included? Thanks:)

A: WWe are very sorry to hear that. Performance will vary depending upon environmental factors and gain setting. If you have additonal questions please e-mail us: askbh@bandh.com

Q: 8. Does this support Stereo recording?

A: No, the WAir-G2-A1 has a single-channel receiver and one transmitter so it records one signal as dual mono which means you hear the same audio on both the left and right channels. The WAir-G2-A2 (B&H # SYWAIRG2A2) has a two-channel receiver and two transmitters. The two-channel system allows you to switch between mono or stereo on the receiver. Recording in mono combines both microphones so you hear them both the left and right sides of your audio track. Recording in stereo puts one person on the left and the other person on the right, allowing you to isolate each person's dialog and adjust each level individually later in post.

Q: 9. how do you connect the receiver to a camera cold shoe or cage 1/4" screw?
