- Ok people's this video then went over how to use this microphone system and tells you the format in which is records (WAV Files).
This was one of those microphone kits that I didn't quite get until I continued to play around with It's more and more. I quickly found myself getting used to this microphone setup and seeing how easy it was to operate. After answering a few questions from viewers of my other videos in relation to this microphone system I decided to make a short video showing you guys how to use this. And giving you some audio samples as well.
Hopefully this video bought you value and maybe...just maybe this might be the microphone kit you were looking for!

Only guy on RUclips that did indepth review of these
You know.....that really really means a lot. Thank you very much for the kind words! I try to do more in depth videos when it crosses my mind because I care.
I look at alot of more mainstream reviewers and I don't blame them for not going more in depth. Yulanzi doesn't sponsor my videos or anyone for that matter. So I have to take the time, the money and the resources to do it. Sometimes these videos take days, weeks to put together.
Between my day job driving trucks and trying to balance off work time to shoot footage and still see my friends and edit videos I am exhausted.
Mainstream guys also are doing high profile jobs, trying to fulfill all of their sponsor videos etc etc. I haven't seen a video on how to actually use this thing so I figure I'd do it. It really isn't a bad microphone kit. I am waiting for a weekend where I can try to motovlog with it and show my settings in the video. I am sure a lot of people will want to know how it does in a noisy helmet so I have time for that and I am accessible to answer questions on it Incase I wasn't clear enough in the video
@@Jonasegway I appreciate it considering I'll be ordering these tonight finally decided to go with these the micro SD card recording for me is where it's at. Don't want to have to bring my phone to record audio
And like I said. When you open the case and see the green light slow flashing on either microphone, it's ready to record. You single press that play/pause button on the side of the microphone and when You see that blue light flashing quickly, that means it is recording internally. And that 44hz quality sounds great
@@Jonasegway yeah I'll definitely check the mic levels out and see which one I'll prefer for my type of videos, what size micro SD card do you recommend for the mics?
SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 190MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, 5K, A2, Micro SD Card - SDSQXAA-128G-GN6MA a.co/d/1kFJECB
This is the exact size micro SD card I use in both mics.
NOTE: 128GB is the largest size cards these can read
This was very helpful. Thank you sir. Your channel should have much more subscribers.
Thank you very very very much and you are very welcome. I always try to do the best I can
thank you for video. I couldn't see exactly but, seems both transmitter have sd card slot. So if I want to record internally, and for 2 people. Do I have to put sd card for each of them and put the sound files together in the edit? If it is, it is not a good feature, I wish sd card slot would be in receiver and records as a 1 file.
can u please tell me minus button for vlume up and down which volume microphone or headphone volume and 2nd question is plus button for noise cancellation ?
The +/- button controls the volume of the connected microphone when you press it with a single press. When you double press the +/- button, it controls the noise cancellation.
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are very welcome!
Hi, I have the same 2.4ghz mics but get a slight echo when two people wearing the mics talk near each other. I have the older JW-12s and they don't have any echo. My settings are zero noise reduction. Do you have any ideas?
How near to each other are they? I am thinking the echo might come from the microphones picking up the sound from the other person. So maybe lower the db sensitivity of the microphones and see if you still hear the echo.
Yes, it's 2 people talking near each other, like within 6 feet. However, I never had this problem with the older Ulanzi J12 mics.
Great review and tips sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch stay safe and blessed
Thanks again! I appreciate you as always!
thanks for the review and detailed information.
one question:
when you connect the receiver to dji action 3 (the receiver plugged-in/connected)
can you hear the sound when you playback your recorded video?
i tried several usb-c wireless mic on my dji action 3, and some can playback sound but some cannot (it seems that it disables the playback sound)
thanks.
If you are talking about if the Action 3 will play the audio from your recording while the Ulanzi receiver is plugged into that Action 3, the answer is no the sound will not playback with the video if you have the receiver plugged in.
With the receiver plugged in, the Action 3 seems to think you are using a USB-c device and disables the audio for the playback.
You will need to disconnect the receiver from your Action 3 if you want to hear the audio from the recording during playback.
@@Jonasegway thanks for the information 👍
You are very welcome! Also....if you know how to connect a headset to a USB-c adapter, you could connect your headset into a USB-c to 3.5mm adapter and connect that to the Action 3 and listen to the audio of your playback video through your headphones
@@Jonasegway ah, that's interesting 🤔
@@Jonasegway actually, try to update to latest action 3 camera firmware. i think they fixed the playback while using the mic.
Thank You very much :)
Thank you so much!
You are welcome just as much!
Does the size of the SD card matter, I'm using a 64Gb and none of my recordings seem to be saving to my card. There's also no additional folder inside my RECORDING folder like you had? Any solutions?
1st thing I would send me a link to the EXACT memory card you are using despite me thinking it really shouldn't matter neither should the size of the memory card. I have a 64gb Scandisk Extreme (gold and red color memory card).
If you are simply using the mics as standalone microphones (recording audio without using the receiver) you have to press the 'pause/play' button till you see the blue light flash rapidly.
To make sure it is recording on the memory card while using the receiver make sure the green light on the receiver AND the microphone is a steady green light.
If that still doesn't create a folders with your audio files on it, I would tell you to take the memory card out and format it whether it be on your computer, cellular device or laptop and then try using it in the microphone again.
Hi Jonas, which one would you advise to buy, the Ulanzi UW-MIC 20T or the Ulanzi AM18? Which one is better?
Hey hey ok so it depends. In my opinion, I would buy the UW mic 20T ONLY because of their smaller size.
The AM18 is a more equipped system (20hrs battery life 'vs 8hrs per charge' and a safety track). If those two things are more important and if you don't mind the bulkier size, id go with the AM-18.
Thanks for the video, please help, one of the mics is flashing green, how to fix it? Thank you
I need a few hrs to give you the absolute answer but....
Is it slow flashing green? Or rapid flashes?
Do you have the receiver plugged into your camera when it is flashing?
- slow flashing means it is recording audio onto your memory card inside the microphone. If your receiver is plugged in the green light should stay ON but not flash.
Walk me through how do you have this connected. Also do you have aemory card inserted in the microphone?
@@Jonasegway thanks for answering, slow flashing
@@hyper2focus you are welcome
I finally FINALLY figured out what the issue was.
I'll tell you what I did...
- plug the receiver into your phone/device (wait for solid green light)
- put the microphone inside of the charging box and close it.
- open the charging box
- press the button on the microphone 5x rapidly
- the light on the microphone should change to a solid green
- your DONE
Thanks for the video, pretty cool and the place of recording is awesome. But for some unexplained reason I don't hear other party when I use this during WhatsApp video call. Also when I play RUclips Video with Sound and I plug the receiver in to my Android phone, the sound stops and RUclips video carries on. If I plug the headphones to the receiver I can hear myself but nothing else. I couldn't find any settings on the phone but it seems the mic receiver takes over the speaker output and no sound to be heard. Any tips for diagnosing this?
So your problem has been my problem also! When I first purchased this microphone kit, I also went on Whatsapp and did a video and audio call and neither worked. I have tried using these with Facebook messenger video chat and still nothing so I don't know what the people at Ulanzi have been using where this microphone kit works with your cellular device.
I also observed the headphone jack overrides the audio output. I will mess around with it some more and see if the RUclips videos stop playing while trying to watch videos with the receiver being plugged into my android phone while using the headphones
I managed to find the settings inside of the phone to switch output to phone instead of the mic. So that fixed my issue. Now it works as it should. I need to check this but I believe if I attach the receiver to a power bank I should be able to hear the mics through the stereo jack headphones. My little James bond bug haha.
@@Jonasegway nevermind. I. Sending it back. Although I could hear RUclips by switching loudspeaker on and off. Using WhatsApp was not possible. The reason is that the mic receiver takes over a protocol dedicated for headphones with mic but in ulanzi case only mic functionality is provided. Phone can't separate mic and speaker. So I could have phones mic and loud speaker or ulanzi mic and no speaker. I tried with Skype and self test service called as well. Same thing. So unless some Android phones can have custom settings independent for mics (ulanzi or Built-in) and sound output (ulanzi or loud speaker) it's a no go. I expect the same for similar type of setup of wireless mics. Perhaps Bluetooth may be the way.
@paveldesort5657 I would tell you to purchase Samsung bud pro earbuds and they will work for everything you are trying to do. (If you don't need this kit as a standalone microphone system).
@@Jonasegway I am trying to get a mic system where my family can talk around the table using a phone (phone is in a corner of the phone due to video transmission) so I can hear everyone clearly on the other side of the line. Built-in mics from phones aren't good for that. Having external one in the middle of the table would solve the problem. Earbuds unfortunately not. They hear me via loud speaker. I hear them using external mic.
Thank you so much for this video. My Ulanzi microphone hasn't been working but I think it's related to the microphone not staying charged. Thank you for teaching me about the meaning of the light colors as that has helped diagnose the issue. I tried to my computer and even though plugged in, the red light turns off after some time. I've tried with the case open and closed. Any suggestions for me? thank you again!
You are very welcome. When it comes to the red light. Is it a rapid blinking red light or a solid red light. I am driving right now (my Ulanzi kit is out of my immediate reach so I can't do a diagnosis right now) but when I get that opportunity to stop I'll see what I could muster however....
Try a few things...
As the microphone sits in the case, only open the case (allow like 8-10secds for the lights of the microphones to finish flashing whatever color light they may flash). Then repeat this one more.
I can't really text. Let me get pulled over and I'll come up with some ideas but what I will tell you to try is holding the power button for like 39secda and after 30secds tap the power button once.....or double tap the power button on the mic.
There is a few methods to get these microphones to "snap out of it". I just have to remember what they are. But give me some time
@@Jonasegway You are so kind. Be safe and whenever you have time, if you have time. I should clarify, I meant the red light on the charging box, not on the microphone. my understanding is the light should stay solid red on the box while it is charging so I don't believe the microphones are being charged at al. To my knowledge, there is no power button the charging box. I have tried different cables for charging.
@Pinkymortgage it is 100% my pleasure. I enjoy answering you guy's questions! I still haven't stopped yet 😔 but I am wondering. Have you tried charging the case with a USB mini cable as well and not just the USB-c cable?
Maybe leave the charging case plugged in overnight and see what it does it doesn't do in the morning?
@@Jonasegway hi! Thank you! I am not sure what a mini cable is? I tried a few different cables though and tried to charge overnight but it’s not continuing to charge. I have tried with case open and closed. I just wrote to Ulanzi as well. Appreciate your help in trying to troubleshoot
@Pinkymortgage emailing Ulanzi for a replacement was going to be my next recommendation. You are very welcome! It definitely sounds like the internal battery for the charging case. Took a 💩. I am thinking maybe they can just send you a whole new unit. Chances are the microphone batteries might be completely dead as well and non recoverable.
The ULANZI UW MIC microphone is not connected, the green and blue lights flash. Can someone help me?
Do you have Snapchat? If so, message me on Snapchat and I will try to show you video instructions on how to fix it. My name on Snapchat is Jonasegway. It is the same on Instagram.
At the moment.
- plug the receiver into your phone/whatever device you want to record to.
- Press the power button on the microphone three times slowly. And tell me what happens. (The blue light should blink slow.
- if the blue light blink slow on the microphone....press the power button on the microphone once and it should flash green 'slow flash'.
Hey man thanks for this video.
I have a very Interesting question I can't seem to get an answer on. When recording internally to the SD card, does the files split up on the card after a certain time recording? Or is it just one single file per recording.
Reason I ask is because I bought the new U-Mic and it splits the audio every 30 minutes. Which I don't like at all.
Second question, is it possible you can test if the internal recording has audio drift when recording for 1 hour or more non stop? (not connected to a phone obviously. Just the TX used as a recorder) - best way to test this would be to press record on the ulanzi mic and the go 2, let it run for 1 hour and then line up the audio in editing and see if the sound matches up through the 1 hour.
I don't know who to ask as Ulanzi hasn't responded to me. I would greatly appreciate if you can test this for me so I know whether to buy this mic or not. Keep up the great work
Ok. I do not have this microphone kit with me right now as I respond, however....about 11hrs from the time I write this message I will. I can try to get your answer within 24hrs because when I get home it will be late night. So....I will make an hour long recording of some sort using this kit with no cuts to the main video, match the audio file(s) and answer both of your questions in one video. Obviously I don't expect anyone to listen to the entire video for 1hour but I will try to be as entertaining as possible, expecting you to fast forward throughout the hour long recording to see if there is any drift.
However....I am very sure there is drift as I have even noticed letency in the audio while recording with the receiver connected to the camera within even 5 minute clips
@@Jonasegway thank you so much for being willing to do this test for me. you dont even have to make the video 1 hour long you can just provide feedback of the 1 hour recording as i feel like you are a honest reviewer. damn even 5 min clips is hectic. thanks again. it means the world.
@JOTC you are very welcome. I may still upload the 1hr clip just so you can see the consistency differences with your own 2 eyes. I will report to you as soon as it is uploading so you can look for it.
@@JOTC ok so far I've been able to record 1hr22mins using my SD card internally recording and I let it record for 1hr 22mins and it recorded three files interestingly. Two of the files was (5secds and the other was 7seconds). The third file was the full 1hr 22mins that I let it record from beginning to end. I don't know what's the deal with the other two files but they were there. Now I will start off with making a 5-10min video and synching the audio to see if it drifts or not. But so far that's what I got when it comes to continuous recording. It recorded the 1hr22mins continuously!
@@Jonasegway that's fantastic news! So that means it already solves the issue that the new U-Mic has (Ulanzi is currently trying to fix it) because what happens to the U-mic is that when the audio files split after 30 mins, 4 frames of audio goes missing before it records again.... So every time my recording is longer than 1h30mins, I will be missing audio for 4 frames, every 30 mins. Glad you were be able to determine that the uw-mic does not have this issue. Now I'm just hoping it doesn't drift. Holding thumbs. Excited to see the video. Again, appreciate you man.
By the way, I find out that there are 2 versions:
1) 20T is analog transmitter (600MHz, pass walls better)
2) 20P is digital (2.4GHz) interference protected, but if there are a lot of WiFi, walls and other 2.4GHz devices then it can be a problem.
Can you upload short wav file? wanna to find out is it really 24bit or just 16bit.
Let me look into it.
You have an email I can mail a file to?
@@Jonasegway Have you any chance to upload it and share with google_drive/dropbox link? I was trying to add link to my storage but seems it not allowed to add links in a comments. Or how can I send you my email in private? non public?
