About this product professional sound quality
The BOYA BY-MM1 is a compact condenser microphone specifically developed for video recordings. With its cardioid polar pattern, the microphone primarily picks up sound from the direction you're filming, minimizing background noise.
This video microphone works with both smartphones and DSLR cameras thanks to the included adapters. The frequency range of 35-18,000 Hz ensures natural speech reproduction, while the signal-to-noise ratio of 76 dB provides clear recordings without interference.
The microphone has a sensitivity of -42 dB and operates without batteries - it draws its power directly from your device. The included shockmount reduces vibrations and the dead kitten windshield prevents wind noise during outdoor recordings.
Ideal for content creators, vloggers, and filmmakers who want to improve the sound quality of their videos without adding much extra weight or complexity to their setup.

Frequently asked questions 4 questions
Does this microphone work with my smartphone?
Yes, the BY-MM1 works with smartphones that have a 3.5mm headphone jack. For smartphones, use the included TRRS adapter. For newer phones without a headphone jack, you will need a separate USB-C or Lightning adapter.
Does this microphone need batteries?
No, the BY-MM1 works without batteries. It gets its power directly from the device it's connected to via the 3.5mm jack.
What is the difference between the TRRS and TRS adapter?
The TRRS adapter is for smartphones and devices with combined audio in/out connections. The TRS adapter is for cameras and devices with separate microphone inputs.
Does the windshield reduce a lot of noise?
