Hollyland LARK M2S Mini Combo Wireless Lavalier Microphone (Space Gray)
Hollyland LARK M2S Mini Combo Wireless Lavalier Microphone (Space Gray)
The Hollyland Lark M2S wireless lavalier microphone is a device for video creators, vloggers, streamers and journalists. The device uses a condenser (electret) pick-up principle with an omnidirectional pattern to capture sound. Connection to end devices is provided by a USB-C interface or a classic 3.5mm jack. The 2.4GHz digital transmission technology with adaptive frequency hopping maintains a stable connection with the receiver. The ultra-lightweight design of the transmitter, weighing only 7g, makes it easy to wear on clothing every day.

Suitable for Cameras, Mobiles and Video Creation
Sound Pick-up and Directional Pattern
The omnidirectional polar pattern captures sound evenly from all directions. The system uses a condenser electret sensor that operates with a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Sound is recorded at 48kHz resolution with a bit depth of 24 bits. The device can handle sound pressure up to 116dB SPL. The sensitivity is -37dBV at 1kHz.
Ambient Noise Cancellation and Wind Protection
The built-in ENC technology effectively suppresses unwanted ambient noise. Users can activate this function by pressing a button directly on the transmitter body. The noise filtration level can be adjusted in the LarkSound mobile app. The package also includes a windshield for outdoor recording. The signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 70dB.
Connectivity and Outputs of the Hollyland LARK M2S Microphone
The set includes two different types of receivers for wide connectivity. The first receiver with a USB-C connector plugs directly into mobile phones or computers. The second receiver has an analogue 3.5mm jack output for connecting to cameras. Cable connection is provided by the included audio lead with TRS connectors. The device supports both iOS and Android operating systems.
Wireless Transmission and Range
Wireless transmission operates in the 2.4GHz band using adaptive frequency hopping. This technology prevents mutual signal interference with other wireless networks. The signal range with a direct line of sight is up to 300 metres. When obstacles are present, the range varies depending on the receiver version used. Digital GFSK 2 Mbps modulation maintains a stable data stream.
Power, Battery and Charging
The transmitter with its 145mAh battery lasts for approximately 9 hours of operation. The camera version of the receiver can function for 8.5 hours. The docking case provides enough power for more than two full recharges of both transmitters. The total operating time using the case is 30 hours. A full charge takes approximately 1 hour.

Microphone Principle
Dynamic microphones are suitable for open performances, live broadcasting, music production, etc. They use a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
Condenser microphones are mainly used for studio purposes. They have higher sensitivity and lower noise. They must be powered separately.
Frequency Range
The frequency range indicates the range of frequency values that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest tones of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid-range frequencies (e.g., 200–3,000Hz): The body of instruments, the core of the voice where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g., 3,000–14,000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance and the "shine" of the sound.
Air band (above 14,000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super-high-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it is less likely to unnecessarily amplify ambient noise.
