This is just a quick test of the Wi Audiolink from Jangus digital. I’ve been using this little stereo transmitter for scratch audio and monitoring for quit sometime, but I never took the time to test it out with a the iRig pre or Rode VideoMic Pro. Turns out it could be perfect for a wireless boom mic style setup.

The first test was done with a Rode VideoMic Pro Set to +20db, this was then plugged into the Wi Audiolink wireless transmitter. The 5d mark III’s audio input level was set to one click above off. The mic was about arms length (ruffly 2 feet) away from my mouth and the Wi Audiolink was set to passive mode. No editing was done to the audio in post and I didn’t have much gear with me at the time I shot this test so I was unable to see what the audio levels looked like while filming.  Audio levels ended up on the quiet side, but I could easily have turned up the audio just slightly on the 5d mark III or used a Juicedlink device to correct this.

The second test was done with a Audio Technica 4073 boom mic powered by the hacked iRig Pre (output turned all the way up) which was then fed directly into the Wi Audiolink wireless transmitter. Again the mic was about arms length (ruffly 2 feet) away from my mouth and the Wi Audiolink was set to passive mode.  No editing was done to the audio in post. In this case the audio levels were just about right, maybe even a little on the hot side.

For a $185 stereo wireless transmitter the Wi Audiolink does a very good job. I’ll post a proper video on this soon, but for now the test gives you a very good idea of what the Wi Audiolink can do.
