Design and Wearing Options

The Lark M2 transmitter measures only 9g and features a button-size form factor. It sits discreetly on clothing without drooping or sagging, giving you a secure and unobtrusive placement for on-camera or handheld recording.

You can wear the TX in three different ways: magnetic attachment, clip-on, or using the included necklace design. The TX units come with stylish stickers so you can match the look to your personal style while meeting different shooting needs.

Studio-Grade Audio Quality

The Lark M2 uses high-end microphone components and advanced audio algorithms developed with professional sound engineers. It records in a 48kHz/24-bit format to capture accurate, natural sound with minimal loss.

• Hi-Fi Studio-Grade Sound Quality
• 24bit Depth
• 70dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio
• 115dB Maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

With a signal-to-noise ratio of 70dB and the ability to handle up to 115dB SPL, the system maintains clear voice reproduction even in environments with louder sources.

Noise Cancellation and App Control

The built-in ENC (environmental noise cancellation) pairs with the LarkSound app for easy control. Within the app, you can choose noise cancellation strength settings (Strong / Low), perform one-tap firmware updates, adjust volume, and check real-time audio status. The firmware and audio algorithms work together to deliver clearer human voices and reduce background distractions.

Battery Life and Charging

The Lark M2 focuses on extended recording time with efficient power management. A single TX can operate for up to 10 hours (with ENC off). The compact charging case can fully recharge the TX units twice, and each full charge takes less than 1.5 hours.

• 10 hours: TX can work for up to 10 hours with ENC off
• 2 full charges: TX can be fully charged twice using the charging case (mobile version)
• < 1.5 hours: the time required for a single full charge
• 40 hours: the battery life (camera version)
• Can be charged while in use
• Compact and portable charging case design

Note: The camera version has a battery life of 40 hours, while the mobile version has a battery life of 30 hours with the charging case.

Connectivity and Easy Setup

The Lark M2 offers a direct plug experience to avoid messy cables. The Lightning RX includes an MFi-certified Apple chip for iPhone connectivity, and the USB-C RX connects to Android phones, Apple 15, action cameras, and computers. The USB-C digital audio output ensures a clean, noise-free recording signal.

Factory pre-pairing simplifies setup: remove the insulating film and place the units in the charging case. The TX and RX will automatically pair, so you can start recording right away without manual pairing steps.

Transmission Range and Anti-Interference

The system uses a high-gain LDS antenna to reduce interference caused by the human body and other sources. It supports long-range wireless transmission of up to 300 meters line-of-sight (LOS). The RF anti-interference circuit and a metallic dust-proof mesh at the mic sound hole further reduce radio frequency interference and protect against dust.

Transmission specifics by version:

• Mobile Version: Wireless transmission can reach up to 300m for line-of-sight (LOS) and 60m for non-LOS (NLOS).
• Camera Version: Wireless transmission can reach up to 300m for line-of-sight (LOS) and 40m for non-LOS (NLOS).

Camera Version Controls and Modes

The camera version RX includes an intuitive volume knob and three LEDs to display volume levels for quick visual feedback. It also supports switching between mono and stereo recording modes by pressing the Mode Switching & Pairing button when the 3.5mm audio jack is connected to the camera.

Note: Mono/stereo switching on the camera version RX functions only when the 3.5mm audio jack is connected to a camera.

Convenience Features for Recording

The TX includes a double-press function that can remotely start or stop video recording or take photos on compatible phones. This offers hands-free control during shoots. Note that this remote function works only with phones that allow starting and stopping recording or capturing photos using a single volume-button press.

The RX supports direct computer connection via UAC, so you can use the receiver as a USB audio device without needing an external sound card. When the RX is connected to a phone, you can play back recordings without unplugging the receiver. Playback without unplugging is not possible on the camera version RX through the 3.5mm audio jack.

Included Accessories and Recording Kit

The Lark M2 arrives as a complete recording kit with accessories for immediate use. The package includes windscreens for outdoor recording, cable connectors for various devices, and a specially designed silicone necklace case for each TX. These accessories help you adapt the system quickly to on-location shoots or indoor sessions.
