Hollyland’s LARK M3 is designed for multi-person, multi-camera shooting
Hollyland, a provider of wireless products for professional film and video production, has unveiled the LARK M3, a flexible and scalable wireless audio system designed for multi-camera, multi-person productions.
Rather than functioning as a single wireless microphone, LARK M3 can be a one-to-many or many-to-one audio system that can capture group interviews, podcasts, multi-person content, and multi-camera shoots with a setup that easily adapts to the number of people and devices involved.
At the core of LARK M3 is its multi-transmitter and multi-receiver architecture. Up to four transmitters can connect to a single receiver, letting each person wear their own microphone and be recorded independently, without passing a single microphone around. Conversely, one transmitter can connect to up to four receivers simultaneously, so a single speaker’s voice can be captured by multiple cameras or smartphones at once.
That flexibility extends into post production through four-track independent recording. When paired with the hot shoe adapter, or by connecting a USB-C or camera receiver to a computer, LARK M3 delivers four isolated audio tracks, giving editors full control to adjust each speaker’s volume and sound separately.
Recording at 48kHz/32-bit with a 70dB signal-to-noise ratio and 125dB max SPL, the LARK M3 pairs studio-level specs with an easy-to-use design. It uses Hollyland’s proprietary HDT wireless technology to move audio data 50% faster for richer, clearer sound over distances of up to 300m.
Li Yena, GTM Specialist, Hollyland, said, “We’ve seen video production evolve from one person with one camera or smartphone into collaborative workflows with multiple people and multiple shooting setups.
“As more shooting setups are involved, everyone’s audio needs to be recorded across different cameras and smartphones at the same time. With traditional solutions, multiple wireless microphone systems may be needed to capture audio across multiple people and cameras or smartphones.
“We wanted LARK M3 to make multi-person, multi-camera shooting simpler with one system that can flexibly connect multiple transmitters and receivers as needed.”
