Saramonic at NAB 2026 focuses on a broad audio stack, from entry-level mobile mics to UHF wireless and crew communications. The interview starts with the Air SE, a compact 2.4GHz dual-transmitter system aimed at phone-based creators who need a fast setup, magnetic mounting, and a charging case that can also work as a handheld interview grip. The pitch here is simple: low-cost mobile audio with AI-assisted noise reduction, USB-C or Lightning receiver options, and a workflow that removes friction for street interviews, vlogging, and quick social video capture. https://www.saramonic.com/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

What makes the Air SE relevant is not just the price, but how aggressively this category is moving toward computational audio. Saramonic positions its AI noise cancellation as a step beyond basic environmental suppression, targeting air conditioning, street ambience, and other unpredictable background noise that typically ruins phone-first recordings. That matters because the real competition here is not only other wireless mic kits, but also the convenience of recording directly into a smartphone without a separate recorder.
The next tier is the Saramonic Air, a more polished two-channel system with a display-equipped receiver, a very small transmitter, lavalier input, and magnetic or clip-based mounting. It sits in the prosumer segment where creators want cleaner gain structure, more secure lav connection, and better day-to-day usability without moving all the way to 32-bit float field systems. Saramonic also makes clear that the Blink line is no longer the center of the range, with newer products taking over while four-person kits like the Blink 500 T4 and Blink 500 ProX B8 still cover panel, interview, and multi-talent work.
The more broadcast-facing part of the booth is built around the WiTalk 9X intercom platform and the K9 wireless system. WiTalk 9X is presented as a modular crew communication tool for events, production sets, and noisy job sites, with AI noise cancellation and integration potential for remote collaboration workflows. K9 moves into digital UHF territory with 32-bit float recording, top-down status visibility for sound bags, miniature lavaliers, app control, and timecode integration, which places it much closer to the requirements of documentary, ENG, and multi-camera production.
Taken together, the interview shows Saramonic trying to cover the full ladder of production audio rather than just selling creator accessories. The strategy runs from sub-$100 phone mics to four-channel wireless kits, intercom systems, digital UHF, and wireless timecode through TC NEO. Filmed at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, the booth highlights how audio brands are now competing on spectrum choice, onboard recording, timecode, modular comms, app control, and AI-based voice isolation rather than on microphone capsules alone.
