The Chinese camera accessories manufacturer Hollyland today announces two new wireless microphone systems.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Hollyland LARK A1 wireless microphone

The LARK A1 wireless microphone system is a very lightweight and compact set designed for creators to use with a mobile phone. It features 48 kHz, 24-bit audio quality, and a high sound pressure level of 120dB SPL. Thanks to these specs, the microphone can handle sudden loud noises and minimize distortion, according to Hollyland.

The system provides stable audio transmission over distances of up to 200 meters (650 ft, unobstructed line of sight). Each transmitter (TX) weighs 8 grams and is 9mm thick. It can only be attached magnetically; there is no clip built into the TX unit. There is also no 3.5mm jack input on the transmitter.

The receiver unit features a USB-C port on the side that supports power delivery and can be charged even during recording.

The LARK A1 set features a 6-level gain control and a flexible noise cancellation system that adapts to various settings, filtering out ambient noise such as wind, traffic, honking, air conditioning hum, and room reverberation.

The intelligent auto-limit feature balances volume levels to maintain stable audio without distortion. Furthermore, the LARK A1 offers customizable audio with adjustable EQ (balance, low, and bright) and reverb (small, medium, or large). Lastly, there are three levels of noise reduction: weak, medium, and strong.

You can adjust various settings via the LarkSound app, for example, toggling the TX indicator light on/off.

With the charging case, two TX units alternate seamlessly for up to 54 hours of continuous operation. With a single charge in TX mode, the wireless microphone can operate for up to 6.5 hours with noise cancellation on and up to 9 hours without.
