Creators, RUclipsrs and TikTokers are always looking for a leg up on their videos. An easy way to make better videos is to improve your audio quality. In my early going on RUclips, I couldn’t afford a microphone so my audio sounded like this: tinny, hollow and distant.
Eventually I was able to get a proper mic and I can tell you it made a massive difference in my audio quality. Joby has just made it easier for creators to not only get better audio, but to do it without the hassle of hardwired connections and different mics needed for smartphones or cameras. Meet Joby Wavo Air. In this review I’ll show you what comes in this surprisingly versatile kit, how to use it and I’ll let you know if I think it made my videos easier and better quality.
What is Joby Wavo Air?
The Joby Wavo Air Kit is a wireless microphone kit with two mics. You can use the small microphone transmitters themselves as bold clip on microphones, or connect the small lavalier cables to the transmitters for a more subtle discrete look. Going wireless also means you can stand at a distance from your camera if you like to shoot bigger scenes.
Both mics, however you use them, connect to the single transmitter. The kit works with either a smartphone or a camera, and there are special connectors for both.
What’s in the kit?
There’s a lot inside this kit so I’m going to break it down. You get:
Two transmitters
One receiver
2 Cables to connect the receiver to a camera or a smartphone
2 lavalier microphones that plug into the receiver, with windsocks
Windsocks for the transmitters if you’re using them on their own
Magnet mount
Cold shoe mount
Gorillapod tripod clip mount
2 clips to attach the receiver to your belt or clothes
3 charging cables
Pairing pin
Set up
To turn your mic on, Press and hold the power button on both the transmitter and receiver.
This kit should arrive with the microphones already paired to the receiver; look for the blue pairing LED lights (the light on the bottom left of the circular LED ring) on both to flash intermittently; about once every three seconds..
If you do need to re-pair (and you’ll know this because the light will flash much quicker; about every second), use the included pin to push the pairing button on the receiver and hold for a couple seconds. On the Transmitter, push both the plus and minus buttons. The LED should start double flashing.
Lights on transmitter an receiver
Let’s touch on those lights… the LED light ring is divided into 4. The bottom left quadrant is your pairing status. It will also show you if your battery is low by turning red.
Transmission Range
Joby Wavo Air can manage sending audio both with or without obstacles between you and the receiver. With obstacles between you you can still get about 30m or 98 feet of range. That's stellar and great for most home uses. With totally clear line of sight, you can get up to 50m or 164 ft away.
How to use the Wavo Air for camera vs smartphone
If you switch between using a camera and a smartphone, this kit is great because it works with both. The important thing to know is that you need to use a different connector to link the receiver to the camera or the phone. The cables are marked-the smartphone cable has a labe.
Using Joby Wavo Air
Using these mics is surprisingly easy. Clip them on, turn on both transmitter and receiver, and get to talking.
Audio quality
I’m definitely happy with the audio quality of these microphones, and the kit couldn’t be easier to use. The part I love the most? With wireless mics, I can move freely around the camera, both while I’m recoding or while I’m making adjustments to my shot.
Battery life & charging
I’ve also been quite impressed with the battery life of these mics. Joby promises 6 hours of battery life on a charge; it doesn't say if that’s for the transmitter, receivers or both, or if that level drops if you’re using two mics at a time in an interview situation.
Overall review: Joby Wavo Air
Overall, this kit is absolutely a boon to my video production. It makes it much easier to move around my sets, and the kit is compact so I can even take it on vacation. At the same time it has all the clips, mounts and options for video shoots both on a camera and a smartphone.
Downsides? Remembering which quadrant of lights does what isn’t ideal, and the weird flashing patterns aren’t super different to be able to tell if the mic is paired. I’d prefer a couple more pinhole LED lights on the front to be specific.
Even so, I’m putting away the hardwired mic and the Joby Wavo Air is officially my new vlogging mic.
It makes a significant difference and it's good to see Roger as well. The price is also good for a professional microphone.
Agreed!
This kit is a game changer! I've used a Zoom H1 and wired lavs for years, and it's always a pain to record a separate audio track. The Sennheiser kits were always too pricey for weekend warriors like me, and this Joby kit hits the sweet spot!
Totally agree!
Major sound improvement
Well done Erin 👏
Thanks Troy!
Oh this would be great for IRL streams!!!! Sounds like good quality with the range
Definitely!
