Today, Hollyland begins shipping the Hollyland LARK MAX 2 wireless microphone system worldwide. The new flagship kit brings 32-bit float safety recording, a built-in time-code generator, and support for up to four transmitters feeding a single receiver, features that were only teased during our NAB hands-on but are now locked in for production.  

In case you missed it, we previously covered this system in a preview from NAB – here is the video interview. Let’s dive into what’s new since then.

What’s new since NAB?

• Frame-accurate time-code generator available on both the 3.5 mm and USB-C UAC outputs for one-step sync in post production.  
• Four-transmitter workflow lets you mic round-table interviews or multi-talent shoots without an external mixer.  
• Adjustable AI noise-reduction (0-25 dB) with <1 % distortion to tame wind, traffic, and room reverb.  
• 14h of 32-bit float recording per transmitter plus up to 36h total runtime when you factor in the charging case.  
• ≤ 20 ms latency across a 1 115 ft / 340m line-of-sight range, powered by 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping tech.  

Design tweaks: The transmitters keep the hover-clip mount and gain a sweat-resistant excimer nano-coating. A single-button auto-gain routine sets levels on the fly.  

Kits, pricing & availability

Combo 4-Person – four transmitters, one camera-mount receiver, and one USB-C receiver for $319
Ultimate Combo – two transmitters, camera-mount receiver, USB-C receiver, and the OWS wireless ear-monitor for $279

All bundles are open for pre-order now. Hollyland expects the first production units to ship in early to mid-June, with full retail availability by the end of the month.

Also new: Hollyland LARK A1

Launching alongside the MAX 2 is the LARK A1 – a sub-$70 entry kit for mobile creators. We are reporting about this in a separate news article, check it out here!

How the Hollyland LARK MAX 2 stacks up

With 32-bit float, built-in TC, and a four-TX option, the Hollyland LARK MAX 2 competes directly with RØDE Wireless PRO and DJI Mic 2, while undercutting them by roughly $150 at the two-TX level. If the promised latency and range hold up in the real world, it could become the most complete sub-$300 wireless kit of 2025.
