Movo offers plenty of wireless microphones, but which one is right for you? The answer to that question depends on what you are planning to record. Web conferences and home office setups have different considerations than when shooting a video, and your audio capture method should reflect that.
Of course, you may also have to plan your decision around what other recording equipment is available to you. Not all microphones are compatible with the same devices, so it’s important to check that all of your gear works together before you make a purchase.
Luckily, Movo makes wireless mics with every user in mind. Whether you’re using an iPhone or Android, smartphone or tablet, DSLR and beyond, we have a mic for you. In the following guide, we’ll be going over some of the best mics for every use case.
EDGE Series
The EDGE Wireless Microphone Series was designed with smartphone vloggers and filmmakers in mind. This wireless lav system features receivers tailored to plug directly into your smartphone power jack. TheEDGE-DI receiver has a Lightning output for iPhones and iPads, while theEDGE-UC is built to plug into the USB Type-C ports found on Android devices.
EDGE receivers are compact enough to fit on any filming rig, but boast a suite of features that many other lavs can’t match. A headphone jack allows you to monitor playback in real time, and there are also controls for volume and channel select.
None of this is at the expense of audio quality. EDGE transmitters record crisp sound and send signals out to a range of 200 feet, perfect for outdoor shoots and large sets. Omnidirectional mics pick up your subject’s voice while filtering out unwanted interference and background noise.
Whether you’re shooting dialog scenes or presenting to a crowded auditorium, the EDGE will make sure your audience gets your message loud and clear. If you need to record multiple subjects, consider theEDGE-DI DUO orEDGE-UC-DUO wireless microphone systems, which each come with an additional transmitter.
WMX-2 Series
If you're looking for a more portable and professional option, you’ll want theWMX-2 Wireless Microphone Lavalier System.
The WMX-2 connects seamlessly to your device via the included receiver, offering crystal-clear audio without the hassle of cables. The clip-on transmitter with a built-in omnidirectional microphone allows you to move freely while ensuring every word is captured perfectly, making it ideal for outdoor vlogging and on-the-go content creation.
While the WMX-2 is designed to work with all kinds of advanced recording gear, it’s intuitive enough that even a first-time hobbyist will be able to get professional results. And as with the series, there is aWMX-2-DUO kit that includes a second transmitter and microphone for recording dialog between two people.
The series also includes models for smartphones such as the WMX-2-C / DUO for USB-C type devices and the WMX-2-L / DUO for lightning type devices.
Wireless-Mini Series
You've probably seen creators walking around with these tiny mics doing street interviews, talking far away from the camera, and clipping their mic onto random objects. Is that what you're looking for? If so, the Wireless-Mini was designed for you! This compact wireless lav system features receivers tailored to plug directly into your smartphone.
Despite its small size, the Wireless Mini Series delivers features that stand out. A headphone jack allows for real-time audio monitoring, and the system includes controls for volume and channel selection.
Audio quality is never compromised. The Wireless Mini transmitters deliver crisp sound with a range of up to 200 feet, making them ideal for outdoor shoots and larger sets. The omnidirectional microphones capture clear vocals while minimizing background noise and interference.
The Wireless-Mini-DI / DUO receiver has a Lightning output for iPhones and iPads, while the Wireless-Mini-UC / DUO is built for USB Type-C ports found on Android devices. For DSLR, check out the Wireless Mini / DUO
LINGO Series
To top it off, here is our newest wireless microphone system!
Delivering high-quality audio, the LINGO / DUO transmitters capture clear, professional-grade sound with a range of up to 200 feet—perfect for both outdoor shoots and larger setups. The omnidirectional lavalier microphones pick up every detail of your subject’s voice while reducing background noise and interference.
