Thanks! The clips on both the receiver and two transmitters are identical. However, they are designed so that the width of the clip fits nicely into a hot shoe. All you do is turn the receiver so the clip is underneath, then you pinch open the clip, just a small distance, and it slides right into the hot shoe.

@MatthewHaines 3 месяца назад

Thanks for your kind words! To answer your question, it depends on how you're using this. If you're using it with a camera and a 3.5mm input, then go with the M1V2. I declined to review the Boyalink because of how it connects to cameras. If you're using it only with a phone, then I'd probably go with the Boyalink.

@dzuritasb 4 месяца назад

have this mic but haven't been able to configure it right. It´s seems to be super sensitive. I turn the volumen up to level 3 on the mic and around 20 on the camera. What are your levels for this video outdoors and indoors?

@MatthewHaines 4 месяца назад

Yes it’s sensitive, which I think is a good thing. The way camera inputs are labeled varies from company to company, so my -12 dB might not be your 20. Typically though, camera mic inputs aren’t great quality. So it’s best to have the mic signal strong and then back off on the camera input. I set my M1V2 at “2”, which is to say I set it to minimum (LED flashes) and then two clicks up.

These are nice but I can't figure out which model to get because they have so many different wireless lav mics. It doesn't make it any easier.

@MatthewHaines 9 месяцев назад

They do have a bunch of models, I agree! Basically, yer M1V series divides into one or two transmitters, and camera/iPhone/USB receiver versions. They recently released a new model that includes adapters for all three camera types, but I declined to review it for various reasons. Basically, pick what device you'll be using it for and go with that. :)

@AttilaKalocsai 5 месяцев назад

That's the microphone I chose. My only problem at the moment is that if I plug it into the phone, no audio sound on the phone comes out. So in a video chat they can hear me perfectly, but I can't hear the other party. If I choose hands-free during a call, the problem is that it disconnects the connected USB microphone. Do you have any ideas how I could use this microphone in a Zoom conference or in a car, for example?

@MatthewHaines 5 месяцев назад

I know what you're talking about. The problem is that phones tend to be all or nothing: if something's plugged in, audio in AND out is routed to that device, even if it's not equipped to output anything. You could get a splitter cable to separate the headphones output and mic input, and then stick earbuds in your ears...which kind of defeats the purpose. These just aren't intended to be used that way, unfortunately.

@TriumphAventura 9 месяцев назад

you can also use the 2nd channel to invert the phase and reduce background noise?

Hello, I just used my latest boya mic purchase the BY-M1V and noticed there is a delay in capturing audio in the beginning. So my first few seconds are always cut off or uncaptured by the mic. Is this normal?? I have the type C model

@MatthewHaines 11 месяцев назад

Hi! Unfortunately, I didn't test a phone-based version of these mics, so I don't have any direct experience with what you're describing. I do know that on many wireless systems where the receiver is plugged into (and powered by) a phone, they will shut off after awhile if the phone isn't active. They lose connection with the transmitter until the unit is powered up again. That might be accounting for the delay in getting audio. Does it happen even if your phone is unlocked and active? In any event, I would suggest contacting Boya and see what they say. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

@MatthewHaines 3 месяца назад

Hi, Fatih! Thanks for watching. I tested the version that uses a 3.5mm cable. This is designed for camera inputs, but you could use this model with an audio adapter cable to your phone. Boya DOES make versions of this mic set that specifically plug into iPhone and Android phones, but I haven't tried those specifically. The audio quality is very good for the price. If you spend more money, you'lll get more features than this but not necessarily better sound. I made a short a few months ago that compares these and two other mic systems.

Hi! I reviewed the analog-output version of these, which require that you plug a mini 3.5mm jack into a camera or TRRS phone input. That unit does not have any of those features you asked about. However, they have variations on the system that plug directly into the USB-C or lightning port of a phone. I don't know about these and I can't find anything online, one way or the other. I have emailed Boya and will let you know what I find out.

Is it possible to record two interlocutors. One for A and one for B?

Yes! If you set the receiver unit to “stereo”, it will record one transmitter’s feed to the left channel, and the other to the right. You then can control them independently in your editing software (you just have to be able to split the stereo audio track into two mono tracks).

@MatthewHaines Год назад

Yes, that should work. The transmitters are both mono already, but when you set the receiver to “stereo”, on Tx is recorded left and the other to the right channel. I will say though there are better ways to record audio than by putting mics in front of speakers!

I have this same issue with my GoPro 8 and bought a Media Mod so I could use external mics and a little selfie monitor. But yes, the M1V2 will work with it if you have the Mod.

it is typically plugged into the mic input on your camera, or - with the right cable adapters - to your phone input. I'm not sure what you mean by line input. Like to an audio mixer? I don't think that would work because it's not a line-level signal being output.

What do you think, is the Boya compatible with Xiaomi 11t pro, and can it be used for ASMR ?

@MatthewHaines Год назад

It should be compatible. The M1V2 comes with minjack cables, both TRS (for camera) and TRRS (for phone). If you don't have a mini headphone/mic jack on your phone, you'll need a simple cable to connect it to the USB-C port. This is what I have to do when I use it with my iphone (use a minijack to lighting port cable adapter). You could use it for ASMR, sure. It's light enough that can position is just about anywhere, and it sounds pretty decent.
