Movo WMX-1-DUO 2.4GHz Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, Compatible with DSLR Cameras, Camcorders, iPhone, Android Smartphones, and Tablets, 200ft Audio Range, Great for Teaching Tutorials

I purchased this wireless microphone for some instructional videos that I am creating for work. The first one I purchased, the WMX-1-UL, didn't have a line out for the camera so I purchased this one as it not only has the line out but all of the cables needed to set it up. It works great! Sound is loud and clear. I only stand about 12 feet away from the camera in front of a green screen so I can't speak to recording at any distance, but so far I have no complaints.

I live in an urban center surrounded by radio stations, cell towers and skyscrapers filled with W-Fi. Radio frequency inference (RFI) is a daily struggle. Poorly shielded mics, audio recorders, preamps and cables pickup static, hum and radio broadcasts, spoiling the audio track of my videos. Up to this point I’ve had no luck with a dozen different shotgun and lavalier mics I tried on my Canon EOS R6 MK II. All suffered from RFI, including a top 40 radio station so loud it sounded like a background track! I saw the closeout sale on the Movo WMX-1 2.4GHz Wireless Lavalier and figured it was worth a try for a couple Jacksons.The WMX-1 shipped quickly (direct from Movo) and was well presented in a nice travel case with cutouts for the transmitter, receiver and accessories. I popped in a freshly charged set of AAA Eneloops, snapped on the cold shoe mount and paired the transmitter and receiver. Movo’s instructions were clear: pairing and connections were duck soup! I was up and running in a few minutes.I went for a test run in my RFI infested urban center. I shot video in known RFI heavy rooms. I used the transmitter with both the included lavalier mic and a Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun mic. The Movo lav mic acted like a radio antenna and picked up local radio stations and assorted static in downtown Honolulu. It was useless. However, the Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun—a fairly well shielded designed—was clean much of the time through the WMX-1. There was RFI but less than the lav and mainly in RFI hotspots.The receiver has a hot output signal so I set input gain slightly below 25% on my R6 MK II, with levels mostly hitting -12 to -6. The result in Final Cut Pro was a strong and clean audio track.I prefer using Eneloops (rechargeable) AAA batteries over built-in batteries: no waiting to charge or sending gear to the manufacturer to replace failing batteries. Just pop in a spare set of AAA and go. My only complaint is the lack of a battery charge gauge, albeit you get a basic red LED flash when the charge is low.As expected for the price, build quality is ultra light duty and not bulletproof for pro use. For my indoor casual use it is perfectly fine. Albeit, labeling of input and outputs is small and hard to see.Although a mono lav mic, it has a TRS stereo plug. When output through the transmitter you get two equally loud mono tracks in the stereo channel (as expected). However, if you plug the lav mic directly into an audio recorder, computer or camera, the signal is panned hard left. So be aware the mic is only useful with the Movo transmitter and receiver.Great wireless system for tiny bucks: sounds good, partially RFI resistant (the lav is terrible) and easy to use. If you live in a low RFI area, or work inside a reinforced concrete building, this would be a wonderful budget wireless system. If you live near a radio station and cell towers, move along.

I use this to record content for a video announcement I produce at an elementary school. The sound quality is great, and I especially like that I can plug in headphones and hear in real time the audio. In the past, I have found out later I had no sound and had to record again.

This is a good option to start off. It’s a cheaper plastic build and you can only use their lav mics for it to work. But the audio quality is good. And the range works well.

The receiver broke within 3 uses. The part you plug the cord into completely fell inside the receiver and now it’s useless. They will crack easily and of course like mine, it’s basically a hollow case that is poorly made.

i tried for so long to find the right recording product.. what i don't like about these is that they require batteries BUT but but.. even compared to me doing this horribly complex blue yeti mic setup with all the pop filters to cover how it picked up on every breath which was expensive!this is something a well known youtuber uses and frankly they're great and obviously you can walk around with them.

They are really good for the price! However they’re range isn’t the best that is something that could be worked on and they pick up backround noise but I’ll still give them 5 stars

I like both the quality build of the lavalier microphones and the wireless feature which is an added bonus.These Movo Microphones easily clip to your belt and the receiver also has the option of clip or camera mount. Comes with cords to attach to either my camera or my smart phone which I view as a big plus.Everything comes with easy to follow instructions.Blue lights show indicate when everything is working right .I've already made several videos using these microphones.Having the two microphones gives me more flexibility for multiple inputs on the one sound channel though.This was a great entry level microphone for me and has even performed flawlessly with rechargeable batteries.I'd buy these again and recommend to friends.UPDATE: 10/18/2021Maybe Movo can explain, either way I don't know how to feel. For some reason the Lavalier microphones that are coupled with this system will only work with this system as it appears that the two channels are combined as one for transmission and then split back into two. Unfortunately I found out about this the hard way. I just wish it was explained to me prior to purchase of one more Lavalier as I did like the sound even if I find out now that not true stereo. In Movo's defense however they do not claim stereo for system or lavalier. (Wish they disclosed this to me when sold solo microphone as I disclosed I was going to plug it directly into recorder) All three of my Movo lavaliers have bright Left channel and close to non-existent right channel. Maybe this is for noise canceling who knows. What I do know is I can no longer use these lavaliers without the wireless transmitters, and then will get a MONO signal split to pseudo stereo output. Two stars off for this discovery, no fixing the already posted videos that were impacted.I may or may not have purchased these again as they are a good learning lesson, but at this point can no longer recommend this one other than for mono use, and only as configured.
