The Hollyland Lark M1 brings pro dual-channel wireless recording to the masses, at just £149/$149. That’s around half the flagship Lark 150 kit. The M1 is a new wireless lav mic system with a tiny body and charging case. It uses Hollyland’s HearClear noise cancellation technology and has 200m/650ft line-of-sight range. Each Lark M1 transmitter has an omnidirectional mic that works up to 48kHz/16-bit. Noise cancellation filters out ambient sounds. The portable charging case juices up in 90 minutes, giving eight-hour runtime for each transmitter and the receiver. The former are smaller than a typical USB drive, while the case is about the size of a regular mouse. It comes with 3.5mm TRS-TRS cables for joining RX unit to camera – and 3.5mm TRS-TRRS for phones. With no 3.5mm input, there’s no way to use a wired lav mic. hollyland-tech.com
