Record up to two people on your Lightning-equipped iOS device for mobile journalism or content creation with Hollyland’s black LARK C1 DUO wireless microphone system. The system includes two transmitters with built-in, omnidirectional microphones and a dual-channel receiver—all in a compact form factor. Clips on the back of each transmitter allow them to be attached to a shirt lapel, while the plug-in receiver connects directly to the Lightning port on your smartphone or tablet, which also supplies it with power.
The LARK C1’s 2.4GHz auto frequency hopping technology allows audio to be transmitted wirelessly up to 656’ away. LED indicators are integrated into the design of each component to show power and connection status. Each transmitter has a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to 8 hours of power. Noise cancellation technology can be toggled using the on-device buttons and helps emphasize vocals over ambient noise. Intuitive plug-and-play pairing makes the system ready to use right out of the box. The free LarkSound app lets you view the transmitter’s remaining battery life as a percentage and adjust volume, playback, and noise cancellation.
