Curtis Judd | Hollyland Lark Max Review vs. RODE Wireless PRO & DJI Mic @curtisjudd | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 4 minutes ago
In this episode we test out Hollyland’s new Lark Max wireless mic system. This new system is Hollyland’s answer to RODE’s Wireless PRO and to the DJI Mic, and includes active noise cancellation, onboard recording capability, the ever-popular charging case for recording on the go, and user-friendly interfaces and form factors. In this video we talk through the Lark Max’s feature set, demonstrate how to get the most out of the noise cancellation function, and listen to a variety of sound quality samples to help you determine if this system is right for you. Let’s take a closer look!
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. school.learnlightandsound.com
