Wireless systems can be a necessity for capturing good audio on video shoots—you need your subjects to be able to walk around without tangling up in cabling, and you need their speech to sound clear and intelligible. If the mic can be hidden on your subject, all the better. Covering all these needs, the Lark 150 Solo from Hollyland is a wireless microphone system that handles the job in style. It addresses miking duties and wireless transmission in one turnkey solution, all while offering great sound quality at an affordable price.
The system comprises a mic/transmitter and a clip-on receiver. The transmitter weighs less than an ounce, and while it boasts a complementary lapel mic, it can also function as a mic in and of itself.
This mic has a nifty design, with anti-vibration construction and built-in intelligent noise cancellation to ensure an optimal sound. Signal is captured pristinely and then issued, through the ether, in the 2.4 GHz domain. Clip it to your shirt pocket, or for a more discreet look, pair it with the supplied omnidirectional lapel mic, which plugs directly into the transmitter’s 3.5 input. Mute yourself easily with the two-way mute button.
The belt-clip receiver sports volume knobs that detent and function as mute and mode change buttons when activated. An OLED screen gives you all the info you need. Latency is low—under 5ms at 328'—and the receiver can even give you a backup recording at a lower, safer level to protect against peaks. The dual-channel receiver means you can easily expand the system for two-person shoots simply by adding a second Hollyland Lark 150 Transmitter.
The whole system comes paired, charged, and ready to go. A case and cables are included. Built-in rechargeable batteries last up to 4 hours on the transmitter and 7.5 on the receiver. The whole system is available in black or white color schemes.
