Pair any two SmartMike+s in T/R mode, the two SmartMike+s are able to communicate in two ways in real-time. Plug an earbud on each paired SmartMike+, the two SmartMike+s act as a two-way walkie talkie. The feature helps to improve communication efficiency in noisy environment. 

Classic Bluetooth application in audios are A2DP for downstream stereo playback in high quality and HFP for bidirectional stream in mono and low quality (8KHz、16KHz). The two profiles are mutual exclusive, which means they can’t work at the same time. So traditional Bluetooth could not transmit high quality sound and could not make recording together with simultaneous mixing with stereo stream.Sabinetek Bluetooth technologies (SWISS) provide two ways high quality (44.1/48KHz) audio transfer capability and are fully compatible with A2DP and HFP. The inter-operation between SWISS and A2DP allows for any music downstream apps playback as background music and make high quality recording, mixing and transmission at the same time.  

(1) The audio recorded by the internal microphone on SmartMike+ and the external microphone on headset via 3.5mm jack is encoded as standard stereo audio. 

 (2) Audio recorded by any two SmartMike+s in TWS mode is also encoded as standard stereo audio. 

 (3) Audio recorded under interview mode, which means audio from the internal microphone of SmartMike+ and microphone on the smart phone, is mixed as stereo audio. 

(4) Audio transferring back to mobile phone is in stereo, which mixes together the recording from SmartMike+ and stereo BGM from the smart phone.

Currently there is no battery level indicator of SmartMike+ in the SMike+ app yet. But there is battery indicator of SmartMike+ in system panel just close to the phone battery. Will develop the feature in upcoming SMike+ app updates. 

Some third-party apps are compatible with classic Bluetooth audio features such as FilMic pro. In those cases, a single SmartMike+ can be connected for wireless recording but with only 8KHz/16KHz quality. 

 With T/R mode, SmartMike+ is compatible with any of third-party apps with 48KHz quality. In those cases, using Sabinetek TRRS 4pole connector to connect to mobile phone is compulsory. 

 For third party apps that integrate Sabinetek’s SDK, the SmartMike+ will be able to directly connect to the thirdd party app and provide full SmartMike+ capabilities such as 48KHz audio quality, TWS connections, etc.

Many gimbals have a red button for starting or stopping a video shooting. It will be supported in a future version of SMike+ app.

Yes, it will be implemented and released soon.
