Yep this system is as cheap and effective as it gets, I always just ignore the silly reverb settings on these chinese systems lmao. I hope they stop implementing that

If you don't mind adding the bulk to your setup, I love my Comica WM300 system. Otherwise, the usual suspects of Hollyland and DJI are safe bets, or the Ulanzi system I showed here paired with literally any lapels of your choice. Don't overthink it, get what you can afford :)

lmao well at least it's not just 15 minutes of some dude unboxing, yapping and not showing any audio at all

I try to keep things as straightforward as I can! :)

Thanks for the visit!

Yep, just comes with different accessories

Are you using USB or XLR? Windows or mac? What app are you trying to use it with? Generally for me that sort of thing happens when my PC just randomly switches inputs on me for no reason, so double check that, and then sometimes certain apps like OBS or discord won't always have the right input selected by default so there's also that. And then there's trying different cables that sometimes fixes it

@@MichaelNobleMusic I got it working now

good stuff

Totally! Not a fan of RGB lighting either, always happy about more simple designs

@@MichaelNobleMusic Yeah, even my memory sticks have LED`s built in, they are the 1st to be turned off, along with the motherboard lights and fan lights, some may say im boring, but I want all that power just to go to my CPU and GPU, then as I said the only LED`s I want running are the ones that light up my monitor so I can see what my computer is upto ;)

Personally, for my voice, I love the tank 3

@@MichaelNobleMusic l used usb

Yeah the tank 3 has a USB out

How do you rate USB sound quality and noise?

@@User-FilmenGZz watch 0:37 in the video

Ah that sucks, I don't have that issue. That can be super hard to trouble shoot because it's usually hyper specific to your setup. Trying different cables, different speakers, disabling any processing like Dolby atmos, or DTX, if applicable, that's pretty much all I can say to try.

Yep I'm a soulless corpo shill with zero opinions of my own. Hail china

They're not actually semi-waterproof. They're just made of plastic which makes them mostly safe if you splash some water on them. If you own a camera, it's the same level of waterproof. Sure a camera can get rained on and *probably* be fine. But drop them in water and they'll die, just like any other piece of gear (I tried lmao). So I don't think it's that. They're just cheaply made

There's $40 systems out there with the exact same noise reduction :)

@@MichaelNobleMusic oh wow, can u share which wireless mic is it?

There are absolute tons all over Amazon, it's a very saturated market haha. I recently reviewed these two, just off the top of my head: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF6spGmhic5ggJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJDMqKN3drqHg5o But if you shop around, there are many other options

Shoulda hit that brown note

@@MichaelNobleMusic Ahahahaha! 😂

Totally, definitely needs to be mounted and not held

It punches above it's price for sure

Love it, I still use this thing!

Traductor de Google: No, debes usar la aplicación de audio o video MOTIV de Shure. No puedes usar ninguna otra aplicación.

@@MichaelNobleMusic Gracias

Love this thing!

I don't have the 02, but from what I've heard it has a little bit more of a natural sound than the 03 :) so between the two, the 02

Btw--thank you for an unbiased review. Love the humor 😂 I looked through all the other vids on KZbin (except yours and ONE other) and it’s obvious ppl are being paid to say how wonderful this product is. Gtfoh 😂

Haha and I bet your off-brand system sounds just as good if not better 😅 in the right hands, the best tool is simply the one you have. Thanks for tuning in! Stay frugal

@@MichaelNobleMusic absolutely it does! Will do have a great day!

Yeah it's a bizarre design choice

For real, you'd be surprised what kind of gems are hidden in this price range. I still use this thing for work

Nope, this is raw

Depends on the context; recording environment, surrounding noise, etc. And also what's 'wrong' with your settings? So I can try to give a better answer :) Generally speaking though for the receiver, start with the flat or speech preset - turn noise reduction off, turn the compressor off or light at most, make sure output level is set to mic (-24 dBV), keep the gain below +20, and try creating a subtle V-curve in the EQ; this will vary greatly depending on your own voice. For phone I found that the noise reduction works better so that opens up another option for you, but everything else is pretty much the same for my voice at least. I also found that having the mic clipped to your collar doesn't sound as good as having it just below the collar bone, if that helps too. Again your mileage will vary greatly just depending on your recording environment, vocal timbre, speaking volume, etc. That's just what sounds as close to "good" on these mics with my own voice lol I will say before diving in that the settings on this system from the app & receiver are not as drastic as you'd think - the majority of the legwork in making these sound good has to be done in post, with whatever DAW or recording app you use, like Audition or Audacity.

Honestly, for my voice, I still like this one :) I also regularly use these two as well though, they're very close! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGemfWSBrcuZfpIsi=6hOLCBljVy8l1kpg kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZTUpKlnftqYrrssi=NIRmmex_dbBRn2cC

That is a big yike

Right! I was surprised :) Handles wind better than I'd expect without muffs but yeah, I never like having to buy my own on the side

@@MichaelNobleMusic I've really liked the audio from the new Shure Movemic but it's disastrous windmuff is a catastrophic failure for a wireless unit, especially at that high price!

Haha it's a trend that just won't die. But yeah it's totally fine for 30-40 dollars :)

Why is it that a number of cheaper wireless lavs have the same disgusting reverb feature??? Are they using identical electronics???

@@WillNewcomb 🤣😭 I've yet to hear an answer! My best guess is it's just what's cool in China right now for some reason lol. Probably intended for karaoke. I'll whine about it until it stops happening haha

@@MichaelNobleMusic Here in China I've searched for RGBLINK and not found it on Taobao. Maybe under another name? Like Fulaim marketed here as Mailada.

Lol oh shit you right oops It's just standard bluetooth, pairs with any BT headphones/speakers or cars that support it (works with my jeep)

It does! Good, yes. $500 good? Ehhhhhhhhh

Lol uhoh, next time then!

Haha I try to get it out of the way first before rambling for 20 minutes

Oh smart!

Yep totally can!

Totally! They're like the Great Value version of a lot of gear and I'm all for it

I don't have it, so definitely take this with a massive grain of salt - but from what I've listened to, I think it sounds great. If 32-bit float is important to your workflow then that's the only thing I think would be missing. ~250 is super fair for the sound I've heard from them, especially since getting two lapels included is only an extra ~20 bucks

@@MichaelNobleMusic my thoughts exactly! And no, I'm no audio guru and it doesn't seem like I'll have a need for 32 bit float. I'm mostly looking for a microphone I am able to use on different types of setups and be mobile in, without sounding different

I never know if it's a good thing to be or not 😅

I'm so sorry this ended up being long when your comment was so short. Thanks for tuning in! I completely hear ya. Basically TL;DR is I just don't care about any of that, when the sound is so average. If you have em, can afford em, then hell yeah So disliking something/being critical/holding companies to a higher standard =/= vitriol or hate. The Last Airbender sucked. I don't hate Shyamalan, he just made a bad movie. Same deal here. There are some broad, future of the industry sort of critiques here that brand-loyal "But it's Shure though!" people don't seem to want to talk about. You can be critical of things without hating them. I usually don't like responding with "Ummm, BUT" when I make mistakes, but... BUT: Mute: I didn't mention that Firmware: There was a day one update: www.shure.com/en-US/support/downloads/software-firmware-archive/movemic-lavalier which came out on March 4th. Size: So this is an interesting one. And what's funny is, no one but nerds and gear guys care. As long as you sound good, the average viewer couldn't care less/won't notice what mic you have strapped to you. Content is king, and sound quality is king. That's why I always make sound quality the main focus of my reviews. I would hot glue a cinder block to my chest if it sounded better lol. And if you know what you're doing, you can hide any mic anyway regardless of size. So yeah, the movemics are small, but so is Hollyland, so is that cheap chinese Literal Who brand I just made a video on. I definitely want wireless systems to keep getting smaller but it's just really not important for online content creation - no one cares but us, and it's another marketing distraction from the sound quality being so average in the case of the movemic. And I definitely will not praise the size, when it comes at the expense of sound quality. Direct to phone: I literally just reviewed a system that connects to phone via bluetooth, this isn't unique. You also don't need a first-party app with that one IPX4: Is not a selling point; it just means you can splash a little water on it and it'll probably be okay. Just like anything else made of plastic, with or without the rating. Definitely don't let these mics get too wet :) Battery life: It's totally fine like I mentioned. But six hours isn't anything crazy and is pretty normal. In fact the movemic was actually second from the bottom just out of the ones I compared it to in this video. The receiver is crazy long though yeah. Thing is, once you get past like five hours of battery life that just kind of stops being important lol "are transmitters to plug lapels into": The WM300 yes, but the Ulanzi, Moman, and unnamed generic POS, no. So by "many", you mean 1/4. The point there was that the TXs on those are solid-sounding enough on their own while *also* giving you the option to use your own lapel mic. It gives the consumer more options. The entire critique there is that removing basic, standard features like that and then charging more for it shouldn't be something consumers just roll over and take or try to rationalize out of brand loyalty. And for that shootout you asked for: Haha I mean hell yeah, if you have a spare $8k+ to burn let's do it! But really, that wouldn't be helpful to the average KZbin Andy who only has a hundred bucks at their disposal to invest in their first mic - and that's what I like talking about :) That just sounds boring honestly. I like reviewing things that people can actually get their hands on and won't have to try to justify why they got it due to the price.
