Let me know what you guys think of the mic? COMMENT BELOW

[@johnmoore3817]

I have been using this mic the past year for tv news and absolutely love it! I use it on a short boom for one-man banding (hold the boom in left hand, camera in right, or cam on tripod) and it never fails to deliver superb sound.

[@neilcollinsrecording]

That’s good to hear, it’s good to get other people who use the products to comment. I love it too, great little mic and great quality build 👍🏻

[@alexmaroto-zp6pv]

Hey sir, can you tell me which recorder you are using to test the BM6040 microphone?

[@Finding10]

I used boya for my videos! Not that series tho but I would say it really surprised me in terms of performance!

[@neilcollinsrecording]

I've been really impressed by the Boya range so far and for the price unbelievable value for money 👍

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Boya are an excellent value. Been using their lav mics for a while

[@neilcollinsrecording]

Impressed with the Boys range so far for sure 👍🏻

Didn't expected you here mark! Big fan!

Hi can you compare this to the BY-M1000?

[@alexmaroto-zp6pv]

Can you tell me which recorder you are using to test the BM6040 microphone?

[@alcatraz3603]

Is it good for short movies?.

[@jinhohan72]

Thanks for the Video! I really enjoyed it. I've been looking for a mic to be used for the recording the sound 2,3 meters away. What do you think about using BY-BM6040 this away? If you think it does not work, any recommendation?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

If you are going to be 2 - metres away from the mic you may need something a bit more directional, you may want to check this one out and see if there are any reviews? www.boya-mic.com/shotgunmicrophonesystem/2755.html

@@neilcollinsrecording Thanks! I'll check the reviews right now

[@ricardogonzalez6701]

Can you compare this mic to Audio Techica AT875R?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

I've never used that mic I'm afraid

[@marcdennis5084]

Hello, I want to buy my first boom mic for film. I want to buy a shotgun mic that is good in both indoor and outdoor. What do you recommend in boya series?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

They seem fairly decent starter mics?

[@TizianaAguado]

What is the rubber ring for?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

Rubber ring?

[@pilotsharkshanger9182]

Think it be suitable for like voiceovers? I was thinking of given that a try.

[@neilcollinsrecording]

Probably not the best mic for voiceovers, you'd be better off with something like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qplmhso9mme6c or kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnacoOsZs13d6c or of you have an audio interface possibly this kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5PCoqaEish1erc

[@pilotsharkshanger9182]

@@neilcollinsrecording for sure I will my friend, as I am just thinking of trying to make a few more dollars before I retired. I know there is more to it than getting a microphone. things like a recorded etc... like an isolation type shield.

[@ronaldirawan3643]

How is it in outdoor?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

I haven't managed to test it outdoor as yet but I'd imagine with the wind shield it would be fine as long as it wasn't too windy? I couldn't say for sure though

[@arhauz9719]

sir, you said that you rectify the audio to get better gain setting...how high was it?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

I can’t remember tbh what the gain was at when I started I’m afraid

[@arhauz9719]

@@neilcollinsrecording i see... do you recommend this boya model sir?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

@@arhauz9719 I don’t really have a other shotgun mic in a similar price range to compare it against but I like all the Boya mics I have tested so far. They are all really well built and generally sound great for the price. From what I’ve heard it’s a decent entry level shotgun mic 👍🏻

Hello! I have a problem with this mic. When I record, I can hear the sound only in one headphone (left) , is something I do wrong in settings?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

It will be something to do with your settings . Are you going in through an interface? What software are you recording to?

[@florin.filipescu]

@@neilcollinsrecording thanks for your reply. I am using with a Canon XA11 video camera and is plugged in to Ch1. That means is mono and it'll record as mono?

[@neilcollinsrecording]

@@florin.filipescu so are you monitoring the audio from the camera itself?

[@florin.filipescu]

@@neilcollinsrecording Yes and also in recordings when I play on my computer I hear the sound only in one headphone but if I switch from Stereo to Mono in my video player app on computer I can hear in both headphones.

[@mikejwomack9597]

That hiss is annoying and loud as hell

Not for you then, decision made!
