Hollyland LARK MAX Solo Wireless Microphone System – Black (1 TX + 1 RX)

HOLLYLAND LARK MAX SOLO · BLACK · 1 TX + 1 RX

A one-person wireless kit with a separate audio backup

Record speech for camera interviews, mobile videos, lessons, presentations and podcasts with one compact clip-on transmitter and a dual-channel receiver. The black LARK MAX Solo combines MaxTimbre microphone technology, selectable environmental noise cancellation and a local recorder, with camera and phone cables supplied for a practical starting setup.

The original LARK MAX in a Solo configuration

This is the original LARK MAX Solo in black: one wearable transmitter and one receiver. The receiver is a dual-channel model, so you can add another matching LARK MAX transmitter later for a two-person setup. A second transmitter is not included here.

The charging case is also a separate accessory. The Solo package gives you the transmitter, receiver and connection accessories without requiring the larger two-transmitter charging-case kit. Features and accessories from LARK MAX 2 or other LARK models should not be assumed to apply.

MaxTimbre speech capture and useful level headroom

Hollyland’s MaxTimbre design uses a multilayer microphone membrane and acoustic structure to reduce unwanted resonance. The integrated omnidirectional microphone picks up sound around the wearer, helping maintain consistent speech pickup as the speaker moves.

The system records at 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. Its published audio figures include a 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio and a maximum sound-pressure level of 128 dB under the manufacturer’s lowest-input-gain test condition. Position the microphone appropriately and check levels for loud speech or close sound sources; microphone placement still matters.

A 3.5 mm input on the transmitter accepts a compatible external microphone when a concealed lavalier or another supported source suits the shot better. Connecting an external microphone switches away from the built-in microphone. An external lavalier is not supplied.

Noise cancellation and EQ for changing environments

Switch environmental noise cancellation on or off from the transmitter or receiver to help reduce surrounding noise. Digital signal processing supports a cleaner transmitted signal, while the included furry windshield is the practical choice for wind at the microphone.

Choose Hi-Fi for a full-range presentation, Low Cut to reduce low-frequency rumble, or Vocal Boost for speech emphasis. These processing choices give you control over the sound delivered to the recording device; the transmitter’s separate internal WAV recording is an unprocessed source for later editing.

A local recording that is independent of the wireless link

The transmitter’s 8 GB internal memory holds approximately 14 hours of mono 48 kHz/24-bit WAV files. Press REC on the transmitter to start or stop local recording, or enable Auto Record through the receiver so recording begins when the transmitter powers on. Auto Record is off by default.

Long sessions are split into files at 30-minute intervals. Connect the transmitter over USB to export recordings to a compatible computer or mobile device. The local file gives you a separate source if the wireless feed is interrupted or the recording device’s audio settings need correction.

When storage fills, new recordings overwrite the oldest material. Export recordings you need to keep before the next session. The approximately 14-hour figure describes storage, while a fully charged transmitter’s rated operating time is approximately 7.5 hours.

Camera output with independent headphone monitoring

Mount the receiver on the camera using its back clip and connect the supplied 3.5 mm TRS cable from the receiver’s audio output to the camera’s microphone input. The receiver’s separate headphone socket lets you check the signal without taking up the camera-output connection.

Use the receiver dial and touchscreen to adjust levels and choose mono, stereo or safety-track routing. With an additional transmitter, stereo routing keeps the two speakers available on separate channels for editing. With one transmitter, choose the routing appropriate for your recording device.

Start with the camera’s input gain low and the receiver output at a suitable level, then monitor a realistic test recording. A safety track can provide a lower-level alternative; it does not replace correct setup or the separate internal recording.

USB-C, Lightning and computer recording

The supplied USB-C-to-USB-C cable connects the receiver to compatible USB-C mobile devices, and the MFi-certified USB-C-to-Lightning cable serves supported Lightning iPhones. Use the camera cable for a device with a compatible 3.5 mm microphone input; a TRS-to-TRRS phone cable is an optional accessory rather than part of this kit.

USB Audio Class support also lets the receiver operate as a computer audio input. Select the appropriate input in the operating system and recording software. Compatible hardware and an app that accepts the connected microphone are required.

The receiver’s Phone Speaker setting allows supported phones to play back audio through their speaker while the receiver remains connected, making it easier to check a take.

Hands-on control and straightforward setup

The receiver combines a 1.1-inch color AMOLED touchscreen with a rotary control and on-screen home control. Its display shows wireless connection, audio levels, recording indicators and the batteries of the connected units. You can access transmitter gain, mute, ENC and recording controls from the receiver.

The transmitter and receiver are paired at the factory. Manual pairing is available from their controls and does not require a charging case. Fit the transmitter with its clothing clip or magnet, keep the microphone unobstructed, and use the windscreen when the environment calls for it.

Firmware files and instructions are available from Hollyland. The original LARK MAX supports USB computer updates and receiver-based configuration; features exclusive to newer LARK systems are not part of this listing.

Battery runtime and charging

Manufacturer-rated operating time is approximately 7.5 hours for the transmitter and 9 hours for the receiver, with charging taking less than 2 hours per unit. The receiver can be used while charging. Actual runtime depends on operating conditions and settings.

Charge the Solo units through their USB connections. The optional LARK MAX charging case is sold separately; the case-assisted 22-hour figure sometimes shown for the wider LARK MAX range should not be read as a battery claim for this Solo box.

Inside this exact kit

This black Solo kit is for one speaker. It contains one transmitter and one receiver, with the following recording, charging, mounting and storage accessories. It does not contain a charging case, a second transmitter, headphones or an external lavalier microphone.

1 × LARK MAX transmitter

The wearable transmitter contains the omnidirectional MaxTimbre microphone, the 8 GB local recorder, a built-in rechargeable battery and a clothing clip. Its REC and ENC controls provide access to recording and noise cancellation on the unit. A compatible external microphone can use the 3.5 mm input.

1 × dual-channel LARK MAX receiver

The receiver collects the wireless signal and sends audio to your camera, phone or computer. Its touchscreen and dial control the recording setup, while separate 3.5 mm camera and headphone sockets support output and monitoring together. A second compatible transmitter can be added later.

1 × 3.5 mm TRS-to-TRS camera cable

Connect this cable between the receiver’s audio output and a compatible camera or recorder microphone input. Its TRS wiring is intended for the camera connection; it should not be treated as the optional TRRS phone adapter cable.

1 × USB-C-to-USB-C cable

Use the included cable for the receiver’s digital connection to a compatible USB-C phone, tablet or computer. Select an app and device that support USB microphone audio. The receiver can remain connected during playback on supported phones when Phone Speaker is enabled.

1 × USB-C-to-Lightning cable

This supplied MFi-certified cable connects the receiver to a compatible Lightning iPhone for digital audio recording. It provides the appropriate Lightning connection without requiring the optional analog TRRS phone cable.

USB-C-to-USB-A charging/data cables

USB-C-to-USB-A cabling is supplied for charging and computer connections. Use the appropriate USB power source or computer connection for each unit; a USB mains charger is not listed as an included item.

1 × clip magnet

The magnet provides an alternative to the transmitter’s back clip when the microphone needs to sit on a suitable section of clothing. Keep the microphone exposed rather than covered by fabric, and choose a secure position for the activity being recorded.

1 × furry windshield

Fit the windshield over the transmitter microphone for outdoor or windy recordings. It reduces wind reaching the microphone capsule and complements the system’s electronic noise-handling options; it is not an external lavalier microphone.

1 × storage bag

The supplied bag keeps the Solo units and small accessories together between sessions. It is a storage accessory, not a battery charging case. Quick-start and manufacturer paperwork are also part of the listed factory package.
