The Synco WAir-G1-A2 is an ultracompact, digital wireless microphone system with two microphones and just one receiver—great for shooting two-person 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-A2 consists of two tiny, lightweight clip-on transmitters each 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 tiny 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 164' (98' 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.

• The two-channel receiver allows you to save space on your shooting rig by using a single receiver to simultaneously receive signals from the two mic/transmitters.
• The receiver features a belt clip, which also doubles as a shoemount adapter for your camera.

• Each of the compact transmitters is equipped with both a built-in microphone and a 3.5mm input that accepts its included lavalier microphone.
• Both the built-in mic and the lav offer a 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response.
• The transmitter can be clipped on clothing without having to wire yourself or your talent, providing a fast, truly wireless setup. You can also hold the transmitter in your hand and use it as a handheld microphone.
• A low-cut filter on the transmitter can be engaged to reduce air-conditioning and wind noise.

• Simply press the pairing buttons and the system components pair automatically.
• Dedicated gain buttons on the receiver allow for 10 dB of gain adjustment for each microphone independently.
• The receiver and the transmitters have displays that indicate power, battery life, and pairing status.
• 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.
• The transmitters and the receiver are powered for up to 5 hours via a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
• The battery recharges in 1.5 hours; a charging cable is included.

• If your camera doesn’t have a headphone jack, you can monitor your sound via the receiver’s 3.5mm headphone output while recording to ensure that you are capturing a clean signal.

• To avoid interference from TV and radio waves, the WAir digital system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band—far away from television, radio, and UHF wireless microphone transmissions.
• The system automatically changes transmission frequency to mitigate noise and dropouts at a line-of-sight distance of up to 164 feet or up to 98 feet when some obstacles are present.
• For optimal performance, environments with limited Wi-Fi/2.4 GHz traffic and minimal physical obstructions are recommended.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. 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: 3. Can I feed this into an XLR in on a camera with an adapter?

A: Yes, you can use the 3.5mm TRS to TRS receiver output cable along with an XLR adapter such as the Kopul A-XMMF 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter (B&H# KOAXMMF) or Rode VXLR 3.5mm TRS Female to XLR Male Adapter (B&H# ROVXLR).

Q: 4. What ac power is recommended for charge?

A: You can use any USB wall charger with the Synco WAir-G2-A2 Ultracompact 2-Person Digital Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, like you would use to charge a smartphone. For example, the ChargeWorx Dual USB Type-A Wall Charger (B&H # CHACX2603BK), the GyroVu 5V 3.1A USB Type-A AC Adapter (B&H # GYGVUSBPS3), or the Belkin Boost Charge 24W Dual USB Type-A Wall Charger (B&H # BEWCB2DQWH) will all work for charging the Synco WAir-G2-A2 system.

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. If I buy 2 sets, will I be able to use them across 4 channels or just A & B?

A: Synco recommends that only WAir-G2-A2 PRO transmitters be used in one place at the same time. It is possible that two sets could be used together, although results will vary based on location, conditions, and interference. In any case, when two dual-channel wireless systems are used together they remain two separate systems, with each receiver receiving audio from only the two transmitters with which it is paired.

Q: 7. Does it need some sort of phantom power can I plug it into a mixer or sound system without it?

A: The Synco WAir-G2-A1 Ultracompact Digital Wireless Microphone System for Mirrorless/DSLR Cameras (2.4 GHz) operates on its own battery power. Phantom power or plug-in power from the mic input is not required. The rechargeable battery is built in, and a charging cable is included in the box.

Q: 8. Can I plug in third party lav mics?

A: Yes, you can use third party lavalier mics that have a standard 3.5mm TRS connector and operate using plug-in power or a battery.
