Ultra-Wide Digital UHF - Incredibly Stable
Operating in the ultra-wide 550–960 MHz UHF spectrum with GPS-based frequency updates, the K9 outperforms 2.4 GHz with superior interference resistance, and auto frequency scanning finds the cleanest channel, ready for global action.
130 dB Dynamic Range - Every Sound, Pristine
Record in cinematic quality. Digital transmission ensures no audio quality loss, while a 130 dB input dynamic range perfectly captures everything from shouts to whispers, and the 120 dB analog output reproduces sonic detail. True, clear, and immersive.
Miniature Lav Mic Small, Rugged, Ready for Action
The K9 comes with the smallest 3 mm miniature lavalier mic* in the industry, easy to hide so you can seamlessly fit it into your on-camera look. Featuring IP67 dust and water resistance and Kevlar®-reinforced cabling, it stands up to everything from rain to desert and the wear-and-tear of daily use.
* Compatible with most transmitters on the market.
32-bit Float REC - Make Every Sound Heard
Unexpected audio spikes or whispers on set? No compromises. With K9’s 32-bit onboard recording*, fix it all in post — every detail, whether clipped or too quiet. With 32 GB of storage, your audio is safe, so you can tell your story with peace of mind.
* K9 systems sold and operated in the US cannot transmit wirelessly and record simultaneously.
Timecode Syncing - Sync Effortlessly,Work Faster
Audio and video drift apart? — K9’s timecode keeps everything in sync. Wirelessly connect to our timecode generator* via Saramonic System — one tap aligns all devices to the exact frame, or use a 3.5 mm wired connection to sync with 3rd-party gear. No more manual post-production headaches.
* Saramonic timecode generator is coming in May.
Recordist Control Hub - Take Total Device Control
Introducing Saramonic System, an audio smart control app that makes the K9 work more efficiently. You can remotely control up to 48 devices — manage device groups, activate sleep mode to extend battery life, update firmware version, and much more. Everything you need is right at your fingertips.
Sleek Design - Pure Design, All on Point
Inspired by Nordic minimalism, the K9 is sleek yet powerful. The receiver features a 1.47" color display and an innovative top screen, making it easy to read at a glance, even in direct sunlight. Hidden buttons prevent accidental presses, and 8 colored tags help you quickly identify devices. So you can focus on the story, not the gear. And the durable metal bodypack transmitter is lighter than a phone at 125 g, ensuring comfort movement for actors during shoots.
Long-Lasting Power- Power Through the Day
The K9 transmitter lasts up to 9 hours, and the receiver up to 8 hours. You can swap batteries in a snap — compatible with multiple types — or power via USB-C while recording, keeping the sound rolling nonstop. For eco-friendly workflows, opt for rechargeable batteries and an 8-slot charging dock. Power your day, your way.
IFB Monitoring- Hear It Live to Perfect Every Take
With K9's Interruptible Foldback (IFB), directors can monitor actor audio in real-time, no waiting for playback. Voices are transmitted from the set, mixed by the sound team, and instantly routed back to the director. Efficiency boom.
