2025-04-07 products

Hong Kong, Monday, 7 April 2025.
Saramonic introduces the K9, a dual-channel UHF wireless audio system, at NAB 2025, offering superior interference resistance, 32-bit float recording, and precise timecode synchronization for filmmakers.

Revolutionary Digital UHF Technology

The Saramonic K9 represents a significant advancement in wireless audio technology, operating across an ultra-wide UHF spectrum from 550-960 MHz [1]. Unlike traditional 2.4 GHz systems, this digital UHF system offers superior interference resistance by converting audio signals to digital format before transmission [2]. The system can auto-scan and lock onto optimal channels within 0.3 seconds, even in crowded RF environments [3], making it particularly valuable for professional productions where reliability is paramount.

Professional-Grade Audio Performance

With its impressive 130 dB input and 120 dB output dynamic range [4], the K9 delivers exceptional audio clarity across diverse filming scenarios. The system incorporates industry-standard 32-bit float recording technology and includes 32GB of onboard storage [5]. For professional productions, the K9 supports up to 48 devices simultaneously through its proprietary control system [1], while featuring the industry’s smallest IP67-rated lavalier microphone at just 3mm in diameter [3].

Advanced Production Features

Range testing has demonstrated effective transmission up to 200 meters at 100mW power output [6]. The system’s dual-screen monitoring provides real-time status updates for both transmitter conditions and RF health [1]. Battery performance delivers up to 9 hours for transmitters and 8 hours for receivers using high-capacity 1.5V AA lithium batteries [6]. However, U.S. users should note that simultaneous recording and transmission capabilities are restricted due to existing patent limitations [4].

Market Positioning and Availability

Launching at NAB Show 2025, the K9 system is competitively priced at €999 for the global version and $999.99 for the U.S. version [1][5]. This positioning places it strategically against established competitors like the Deity THEOS at $1,090 and Sony UWP-D27 at $1,179.99 [4]. The system is now available through Saramonic’s online store and authorized dealers worldwide [3].
