Compact wireless mic promises clearer speech for smartphone video creators
The Hollyland LARK M2 is a small wireless microphone aimed at vloggers and small business owners who want clearer audio in busy or outdoor settings.
The Hollyland LARK M2 is a small wireless microphone designed for creators who want clearer speech in noisy cafés or outdoor locations. Each transmitter weighs 9g, has a button-like shape and can be attached to clothing with magnetic accessories.
The manufacturer says the system records at 48kHz with 24-bit resolution. It uses an omnidirectional microphone and a 2.4GHz wireless connection, along with environmental noise cancellation intended to reduce background sound. Battery life is quoted at about 10 hours per transmitter, rising to up to 40 hours in the camera setup and up to 30 hours in the mobile version when charging cases are used.
Buyers need to choose a kit that suits their device. The USB-C mobile version is for compatible smartphones, the Lightning version is for certain older iPhones, and the Camera and Combo packages cover camera recording and use across several devices. A companion app, LarkSound, allows supported adjustments and firmware updates.
