user experience
Having said that, overall, both LARK M1 and LARK C1 models are almost identical. The only difference is the receiver. The LARK M1 has an receiver that works with cameras and phones, while the LARK C1 has an receiver that plugs into the Lightning port on iPhones and iPads.
As both models are Duo (2 mics and 1 receiver), they can be used with 2 speakers in stereo mode. But if there is only one speaker, Mono mode can be enabled.
????How to enable mono mode with single mic: Press and hold the M/- button for 5 seconds, observe the receiver whether the indicator light has a different color or not.
As for other features and specifications, both models are the same.
The first impression after touching it is the light weight and compact size of the mic. Because the mic is only 1 cm thick, the design is beautiful. It looks easy to match with clothes that are easy to wear.
The clip attaches to the shirt, easy to use. Really sticks to clothes
The sound receiver area is at the top with a small hole to allow our sound to penetrate and help filter outside noise to a certain extent.
At the bottom there are 2 charging contacts that are iron, used to suck and charge in the charging box. And if not charging from the charging box, we can charge the mic by plugging in a USB-C cable because he also has a USB-C port.
Power button is used to turn on / off, while the bottom button is a connection button. and is the button for the HearClear Noise Canceling feature
Overall, it’s easy to use. Just take it out of the charging case and you can use it. You don’t have to adjust much.
When the mic is attached to the shirt, it feels like it doesn’t have a lot of weight. Doesn’t weigh down the collar If wearing black clothes, it blends in quite well, doesn’t look cluttered (actually there are many colors to choose from).
Vlog cables that shoot footage through a mobile camera should like the C1 model because the receiver is small. Plugs directly into your iPhone’s Lightning port.
battery Can be used up to 8 hours if we fully charge the battery and can be used for 20 hours including the charging case, can be said to be used almost all day Sufficient for filming and making video content, of course.
In terms of sound quality, let me tell you that this mic is good, the sound is clear, there is not much noise from the outside coming in because it has a HearClear Noise Cancellation mode.
The sound texture may not be as tight as a wireless microphone that costs ten thousand. but overall good sound quality Easy to use in video and vlog work.
