As technology in the film and video industry advances, everything always seems to get tinier. Cameras have gotten smaller, lighting gear (for the most part) has gotten slimmer, lighter, and more compact, and yes even audio gear is shrinking in size.
The latest example of this tiny-fication is the new Hollyland Lark M2S which is nearly microscopic. Designed to record up to two people for mobile journalism or on-the-run content creation, the new Lark M2S combo wireless microphone system is exceptionally small, weighs just 7 grams (0.25 ounces), and is easily conceivable.
Let’s look at this new, teeny-tiny wireless mic system and explore how it might be a nearly invisible option for your video needs.
The Hollyland Lark M2S Wireless Mic System
As mentioned above, this is a tiny, lightweight microphone system that is designed for on-the-run video work. Ideal for mobile journalists, documentarians, or any video pros looking for the smallest gear possible, the Hollyland Lark M2S wireless microphone combo system includes two ultracompact transmitters with built-in omnidirectional microphones.
These mics are perfect for discreet recording and feature a USB-C plug-in receiver for direct connection with mobile devices, a camera-mount receiver, a USB-C to Lightning adapter cable, and a charging case.
The transmitters also feature a titanium clip-on design to attach securely to your talent and do not have visible logos for a low-profile appearance.
Tiny, Yet Quite Capable
While tiny and compact, the Lark M2S transmitters are engineered with some pretty sophisticated technology, including RF interference-resistant circuits for pristine sound quality in most environments.
Audio is set to be transmitted via 2.4 GHz frequency up to 1000′ away. This means users will be able to easily capture 24-bit, 48 kHz audio with a 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 116 dB SPL. You’ll also be able to toggle environmental noise cancellation using the transmitters’ onboard controls for clear audio capture in loud spaces.
Hollyland has also developed 85mAh internal batteries with 9-hour battery life for the mics, which, once depleted, can recharge the components in the included charging case in less than 1.5 hours or via USB-C in 1 hour.
