Universal Compatibility for Versatile Use

The BOYA BY-M1S is designed with universal compatibility in mind, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of users. Whether you’re recording content on a smartphone, DSLR camera, camcorder, audio recorder, or PC, this microphone ensures reliable performance across devices. Thanks to its 3.5mm TRRS connector, users can easily plug it into most standard audio input ports without the need for additional adapters or converters. This cross-platform compatibility allows content creators, educators, and professionals to switch between devices seamlessly, whether they’re recording a podcast, filming a video, or conducting an online meeting.

Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for Natural Audio Capture

At the heart of the BY-M1S is a high-quality omnidirectional condenser capsule that captures sound from all directions. Unlike directional microphones that require precise positioning, the omnidirectional pickup pattern ensures that audio is collected evenly from 360 degrees around the mic. This makes it ideal for capturing clear and consistent voice recordings, even if the speaker moves slightly during the recording. The result is a more natural, immersive sound that’s especially beneficial in interviews, group discussions, and video productions.

High Sensitivity and Wide Frequency Response

The BY-M1S boasts a sensitivity rating of -30dB ±3dB and a frequency response of 50Hz to 20kHz, allowing it to detect subtle vocal nuances while maintaining clarity across a broad audio spectrum. Whether you’re speaking softly or with a stronger tone, the microphone accurately captures every detail of your voice. The wide frequency range ensures that both lower and higher frequencies are well-represented, giving a fuller, more balanced sound. This is particularly useful for professional-grade recordings where audio quality is critical.

Plug-and-Play with No Battery Required

One of the standout features of the BOYA BY-M1S is its no-battery-required design. Unlike many other lavalier microphones that depend on external battery modules, the BY-M1S draws power directly from the connected device. This plug-and-play functionality not only reduces bulk and hassle but also eliminates the worry of battery failure during important recordings. It’s especially convenient for users who need a lightweight, hassle-free solution for long recording sessions or on-the-go use.

Long 6-Meter Cable for Maximum Flexibility

With a 6-meter (20-foot) shielded cable, the BY-M1S provides users with the freedom to move around without affecting sound quality. This extended reach is perfect for scenarios where the subject is positioned away from the recording device, such as on stage, during video shoots, or while giving presentations. The shielded cable also minimizes electromagnetic interference and handling noise, ensuring a clean and uninterrupted audio signal. This makes the microphone not only flexible but also reliable in diverse recording environments.

Dual Mode Functionality for Camera and Smartphone Use

To support different recording setups, the BY-M1S features a switchable mode that allows users to toggle between “Camera” and “OFF/Smartphone” modes. This thoughtful design ensures optimal performance based on the connected device. When set to “Camera” mode, the microphone adapts to work with DSLRs and camcorders, while the “OFF/Smartphone” mode is tailored for mobile devices and tablets. This dual functionality enhances its usability, allowing users to switch devices without compromising audio quality or needing separate equipment.

Low Handling Noise and Professional Build Quality

The microphone is engineered to minimize handling noise, which is a common issue with lapel mics. Its robust design and internal components reduce unwanted sounds caused by movement or cable brushing, delivering cleaner recordings. Additionally, the compact build of the mic head (18.00mm x 8.30mm x 8.30mm) makes it discreet and easy to clip on clothing without drawing attention. The overall build quality reflects BOYA’s commitment to professional-grade performance, making it a reliable choice for both amateur creators and seasoned professionals.
