Designed with a focus on swift “plug and play” functionality, the workflow caters to the needs of solo operators and content creators. Choose between a camera receiver or a smartphone receiver, with kits available for both options.

Navigating a Crowded Market
In a saturated wireless dual-microphone segment, the market sees an influx of systems from various manufacturers, both established and emerging. The Hollyland LARK M2 not only enhances the compactness established by the LARK C1 but also serves as a successor to the LARK M1 when used with its camera receiver module. Setting a new benchmark for size, the LARK M2 boasts one of the smallest mic-transmitter modules available.

Efficiency and Minimalism in Focus
Hollyland proudly presents the LARK M2 as a “One Button Mic,” emphasizing both the extreme compactness of the new mic modules and operational minimalism. Weighing a mere 9 grams and barely wider than a coin, the LARK M2 transmitter excels in compactness. However, this compact size comes with trade-offs, as there’s no spare space for a 3.5mm jack, limiting the device from connecting to external Lavalier mics.

Versatile Attachment Methods
Due to its compact size, the LARK M2 transmitter-mic module lacks a built-in clip. Instead, it utilizes a magnet-based attachment. A robust magnet allows for secure placement on the opposite side of your shirt or collar. If this method proves insufficient, two additional options are available: a clip magnetically attached to the mic or a magnetic necklace for wearing around your neck.

Comparing Alternatives
In a market filled with compact dual-mic wireless systems, Hollyland offers its own LARK M1 and C1, both priced at $109. GODOX provides the WEC system for $99, albeit with a shorter range and inferior audio quality at 48 kHz / 16-bit compared to the LARK M2’s 48 kHz / 24-bit. For those looking to cut costs, the Ulanzi J12 is an option, but be prepared to compromise significantly on range, as the J12 reaches only 20m compared to the LARK M2’s 300m (both manufacturer-published specifications).

Unmatched Stealth and Size
The standout feature of the Hollyland LARK M2 lies in its transmitter-mic unit, significantly smaller and stealthier than any known competitor. While an additional Lav-mic may offer better concealment on talent, content creators often opt for clipping transmitter-mic units, bypassing the added hassle of attaching a Lavalier. In this aspect, the LARK M2 stands out as the reigning choice.
