It has a really good output level: you could even use it on a table at a pinch, rather than clipping it to clothes. Hotjar sets this cookie when a Recording starts and is read when the recording module is initialized, to see if the user is already in a recording in a particular session. However, the sound is particularly difficult to improve in post-production if the recording has not been too successful. The BOYA BY-M1 is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone ideal for vlog, presentation, podcasting, live streaming and much more.

Microphone performance is much better than most built-in camera microphones: outstanding for interviews, podcasts, dictation, and much more.Designed with a custom omnidirectional signal capsule, it captures broadcast-quality sound from a 360-degree range and delivers it to your recording device via its 6m(20’) shielded cable. Designed with a custom omnidirectional signal capsule, it captures broadcast-quality sound from a 360-degree range and delivers it to your recording device via its 6m(20’) shielded cable. For multiple speakers, you will ideally need each person to have their own mic, and a mixer to handle the multiple inputs.

There will be some noise if you are moving around, especially if you don’t take care to clip the microphone clear of fabric. The only major issue I had was the notorious iPhone 6/6S headphone socket problem, with the phone refusing to recognise the mic. But even the microphones built into the best cameras quickly reach their limits, as they cannot leave the housing of the camera, DSLR or smartphone. The control unit, which is intended for the wearer of the microphone, has a level switch that can be switched on in case of loud ambient noise, which lowers the level by 10 dB so that the ambient noise does not predominate the recording.The microphone is a direct connection between the professional vocal pickup and tube, which can be connected to the tv. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The Boya (left) is quite a bit bigger than the little smartLav+, particularly with the windshield attached. You could also use it as an interview mic, like we did in our podcasts, by placing it on the table between the speakers – it picks up sound equally from all directions. The Boya BY-M1 Pro is a clip-on lavalier microphone designed for presenters and performers making videos using smartphones or DSLR/mirrorless cameras.
