The Hollyland LARK MAX 2 Solo is a one-person wireless lavalier microphone kit, pairing one 14 g clip-on transmitter with a Camera Receiver and recording 48 kHz/32-bit float to the transmitter's 8 GB memory while it sends audio up to 1,115 ft (340 m) line of sight. This kit has no charging case and no USB-C phone receiver, so both pieces charge over USB-C.

Key Features

  • One clip-on transmitter (about 14 g, worn with a hover-clip or magnet) with a Camera Receiver that has a touchscreen, a 3.5mm output and a 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Internal recording to 8 GB of memory on the transmitter: up to 14 hours at 48 kHz/24-bit or 10 hours at 48 kHz/32-bit float
  • AI noise cancellation with stepless adjustment from 5 dB to 25 dB
  • Frame-level timecode that syncs through the receiver's 3.5mm output and USB-C audio output
  • About 11 hours from the transmitter with noise cancellation off, and about 12 hours from the Camera Receiver
  • Up to 1,115 ft (340 m) line of sight on 2.4 GHz frequency hopping, with 20 ms latency from transmitter to receiver

How It Compares

Feature Hollyland LARK MAX 2 Solo Hollyland LARK MAX 2 Combo 2-Person
Transmitters 1 2
Receivers Camera Receiver Camera Receiver and USB-C Receiver
Charging case Not included Included
USB-C to 3.5mm adapters 1 2

  • Choose the LARK MAX 2 Solo when you are the only person on mic and the receiver stays on your camera.
  • Choose the Hollyland LARK MAX 2 Combo 2-Person when you need a second mic, a charging case that recharges two transmitters and the Camera Receiver more than 2.5 times, or a USB-C Receiver that plugs straight into a phone.
  • Compared with the Hollyland LARK M2 Combo: Hollyland's LARK M2 page lists up to 300 m (1,000 ft) line of sight, about 10 hours per transmitter, 115 dB SPL and a 9 g transmitter, with no internal recording or timecode listed.

Pair It With

  • A phone or computer over USB-C: The Camera Receiver's USB-C port sends digital audio to a computer or mobile device. Hollyland says 24-bit output is compatible with all devices and 32-bit float output is only supported on Apple devices, and Apple's native recording app needs no manual bit depth setting. This kit includes a USB-C to USB-C cable. A Lightning iPhone needs a USB-C to Lightning cable, which is not included in the Solo.
  • A wired lavalier: The included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter connects a lavalier to the transmitter and supplies 3 V plug-in power. Hollyland says it works with TRS lavaliers that use the tip and ring for the microphone signal and the sleeve as ground.
  • A second transmitter: One receiver pairs with up to four transmitters, and Hollyland sells the transmitter separately. To pair one, hold the power button on the powered-off transmitter for 6 seconds and on the powered-off Camera Receiver for 6 seconds, or open Settings > Pair on the receiver. Contact Filmgear Canada to ask about adding a transmitter.
  • Wireless monitoring: The Camera Receiver works with the Hollyland LARK MAX 2 OWS Monitor Earphone, sold separately, at up to 328 ft (100 m) line of sight.
  • A Sony hot shoe setup: Hollyland's Hot Shoe Adapter, sold separately, mounts the Camera Receiver on select Sony cameras so audio passes through the shoe. Contact Filmgear Canada to check your camera against Hollyland's list.

FAQ

Can I connect the Camera Receiver directly to an Android phone over USB-C?

Yes. Hollyland's manual says the Camera Receiver's USB-C port connects to a computer or mobile device for digital audio, and this kit includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, so a phone with a USB-C port does not need a separate receiver or adapter. The manual says 24-bit output is compatible with all devices, while 32-bit float output is only supported on Apple devices.

Can I record in the iPhone's native app with the Camera Receiver, or do I need the Hollyland app?

You are not limited to Hollyland's app. The manual describes the Camera Receiver as a USB-C audio device for computers and mobile devices, and says no manual bit depth setting is required when you use Apple's native recording app. An iPhone with a USB-C port can use the USB-C to USB-C cable in this kit. A Lightning iPhone needs a USB-C to Lightning cable, which Hollyland packs with the Combo kits but not with the Solo.

Can I add a second transmitter to the Solo later?

Yes. Hollyland says one LARK MAX 2 receiver pairs with up to four transmitters, and it sells the transmitter as a separate accessory. With both units powered off, hold the power button on the new transmitter for 6 seconds and on the Camera Receiver for 6 seconds to pair them. Contact Filmgear Canada if you want to add one.

How do I charge the transmitter and receiver without a charging case?

Over USB-C. Hollyland's manual lists a USB-C port for wired charging on both the transmitter and the Camera Receiver, and each takes about 1.5 hours to charge. The kit includes one USB-C to USB-C cable, so charge them one at a time or use a second cable. Hollyland rates the working time at about 11 hours for the transmitter with noise cancellation off and about 12 hours for the receiver.

How does the LARK MAX 2 compare with the Hollyland LARK M2?

On Hollyland's published specs, the LARK MAX 2 has 48 kHz/32-bit float audio, 8 GB of internal recording and timecode, none of which the LARK M2 page lists. It reaches up to 340 m (1,115 ft) line of sight against 300 m (1,000 ft), runs about 11 hours per transmitter against about 10 hours, and is rated at 128 dB maximum sound pressure level against 115 dB. The LARK M2 transmitter is lighter at about 9 g against about 14 g.
