The Hollyland Lark M2 is a wireless lavalier microphone system. It does not offer much in terms of controls and features, but this makes it very easy to use.
It is ideal in situations where you need a small, unobtrusive microphone to record someone for e.g. a promotional video, or when you are interviewing people on location.

==Usage==
# Take a transmitter and the receiver out of the charging case. They will automatically turn on and connect to each other.
# Attach the transmitter to your subject (see attachment options below)
# Connect the receiver to your camera/phone/computer via USB or 3.5mm jack.
# Turn the volume knob on the receiver to adjust input volume.

When you are done recording, place everything back in the charging case. The transmitter(s) and receiver will be automatically recharged from the case's internal battery. Make sure to recharge the case itself when the indicator lights on the front run low.

===Attachment options===
The Lark M2 transmitters can be magnetically attached to your subject using the included magnets, clips or lanyards.
* Use the clip to clip the transmitter to e.g. a collar or the edge of a button-up shirt.
* Hold a magnet on the inside of a shirt and snap the transmitter in place on the outside (like a sandwich).
* Use the lanyard in case someone is wearing very delicate fabric or no shirt at all.
* Use the magnet to attach the transmitter to a nearby metal object (or actual microphone stand).

The magnet sandwich is often the most secure way of fixing the microphone in place, but make sure to ask consent before sticking your hand up someone's shirt.

For the best results, make sure the transmitter is not covered by any layers of clothing or hair that may rustle against it.

Attach a wind screen when recording outside in windy conditions.

=== Noise cancelling ===
Press the button on the transmitter to enable noise cancelling (LED will turn green). This can work great at filtering unwanted environment noise, but will likely decrease your overall audio quality. Press the button again to turn noise cancelling off (LED will turn blue).

=== Stereo recording ===
By default, the Lark M2 will record mono, meaning the signal of both transmitters will be combined into one audio stream. Stereo recording, whereby transmitter 1 is recording to the left channel and transmitter 2 is recording to the right channel, is only possible via 3.5mm jack.
To enable stereo mode, press the Mode Switching button on the receiver (volume indicator LEDs will turn blue). Press again to switch back to mono mode (volume indicator LEDS will turn green).
