Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The Boya BY-M1 Pro II features an omnidirectional polar pattern, which means it can capture sound from all directions with equal sensitivity. This is particularly useful for interviews, presentations, or video content where the subject may move slightly or the microphone may not be pointed directly at the mouth. The 360-degree pickup ensures a natural and immersive audio experience, as it doesn’t isolate the speaker’s voice from the surrounding environment, making recordings sound more authentic and lifelike. Whether you’re outdoors or indoors, this design helps achieve consistent and balanced audio quality.
Dual Compatibility with Camera and Smartphone
A standout feature of the BY-M1 Pro II is its built-in switch that allows users to toggle between camera and smartphone modes. This ensures full compatibility with a wide range of devices, including DSLRs, camcorders, smartphones, tablets, audio recorders, and PCs. The mode switch adjusts the internal circuitry to match the device’s input requirements, so users get optimal performance without needing adapters or separate microphones. This feature greatly increases the microphone’s versatility and usability across different recording setups.
Mic Gain Control (-10dB / 0dB Toggle)
To help users control audio levels more precisely, the Boya BY-M1 Pro II includes a mic gain control switch with two settings: 0dB and -10dB. This is particularly useful when recording in environments with loud sound sources or when the speaker’s voice is very close to the microphone. The -10dB attenuation reduces the input signal, helping to avoid distortion or clipping during recording. On the other hand, the 0dB setting is ideal for normal conversation levels. This manual control provides flexibility, ensuring high-quality audio in various recording conditions.
Built-in Headphone Monitoring
Another professional-grade feature of the BY-M1 Pro II is its built-in 3.5mm headphone output jack that supports real-time audio monitoring, available in smartphone mode. This allows users to listen to the captured audio live, helping them detect any unwanted background noise, voice distortion, or volume issues during recording. Monitoring ensures better control over the quality of the output, reducing the chances of having to re-record due to unnoticed audio problems. It is especially helpful for vloggers, journalists, and content creators working in dynamic or uncontrolled environments.
Long 6-Meter Cable for Flexibility
With a 6-meter (19.6 feet) cable, the BY-M1 Pro II provides ample room for movement and flexibility. This is particularly advantageous for video creators or presenters who need to maintain a distance from the recording device without compromising audio clarity. Whether you’re filming a tutorial, conducting an interview, or giving a lecture, the extended cable ensures you have the freedom to move naturally while keeping the microphone discreetly attached to your clothing. The generous length eliminates the need for additional extension cables in most scenarios.
High-Quality Sound Reproduction
Engineered for professional-grade audio, the BY-M1 Pro II features a frequency response range of 50Hz to 20KHz and a sensitivity of -32±3dB, capturing both low and high frequencies accurately. With a signal-to-noise ratio of >78dB, it minimizes background noise and enhances voice clarity, making it ideal for clear speech recording in any setting. The low output impedance of <1000Ω helps maintain a strong signal and reduces interference, ensuring that the final output is both clean and natural-sounding. This makes it well-suited for podcasting, YouTube content, and online meetings.
Plug-and-Play Convenience
One of the most convenient aspects of the BY-M1 Pro II is its plug-and-play functionality. The microphone requires no batteries or external power, making it simple and hassle-free to use. Just plug it into your device’s 3.5mm audio jack, select the correct mode, clip it to your clothing, and you’re ready to record. This ease of use makes it an excellent choice for beginners as well as experienced content creators who want a reliable and efficient audio solution without complicated setup or calibration.
