Thanks for the honest review. I made the mistake of purchasing this system. The Moman C1 and returned it very quickly. You had much better results than I did. I had to turn the dB setting all the way up on the receiver as well as the Volume all the way up on the Transmitter. And even then, I was only getting quiet audio. I only got decent audio when the mic was close to my mouth. If I put the mics in the standard position on my lapel (Under my chin) the audio was completely and totally unusable. It sounded like I was 20 feet away from the mic. I'm very tech savy and work with sound equipment. So I know all about settings and hacks. No matter what, this mic was absolute garbage.
Just a suggestion - I found your video while doing a search on the Moman C1. Perhaps on your next review you might consider recording the entire video with the mic you're reviewing. It would be more helpful to hear the audio from the mic at length to get a better feel for its' performance. Thanks for the video!
@@notjustmedia.ca_ Just as a reference, I was listening to the video through Tannoy Near Field Reference Studio Monitors powered by Adcom GFA555II Amp. But the audio sample from the C2 was so brief that it didn't support your conclusions to my ears - especially when compared to the lav mic you were using for the comparison. That's why I suggest recording your next video with the mic being reviewed so that viewers can get a better frame for the performance of the mic.
Why were alternate lavalier mics not tried on the Moman C1 system? It seems this review restricted itself to the Moman built-in mic and the Moman lavalier mic. A different lavalier mic should have been tried on the Moman C1 system to make for a fair review.
I think the review was fair for the product I had on hand... Results are the same whether a lavalier was used or not... The audio coming out in both instances was noisy. You can literally hear it. Using a different mic would not change anything. If you're really considering this microphone and you care about audio quality I still strongly advise to go for rode. If you don't care about the audio quality and price is more of a concern then sure you can pick this up. May be even try the C2. Just giving you my honest opinion and trying to help folks to not make the wrong decision like I did
@@notjustmedia.ca_ Just retested my Moman C1by muting and unmuting it, with both external (non-Moman) mic and then with internal mic. No perceptible difference in noise. Even raised gain to 15. Even powered it down and back up again: no increase in noise. None at all. As for audio quality, I'm quite happy with accentuated higher frequencies, though admit others may not be.
Wow, I can't believe your review. I have seen many reviews of this system with very CLEAN sound. Also with sound recorded on location. Therefore I don't know your problems. If you are reviewing a wireless mics, Why are you recording and making the video with other mics? Also 13db is a bit high. make sure never goes over 12db's. Both mics the one in the module itself and the lav sound clear. Also you are speaking very soft. Remember signal to noise ratio! You cannot compare 2 complete different systems to make a review of one product. And just in case, I am a professional Sound Engineer with over 35 years of experience in Sound Studio, on location, film, video, musical, documentaries. You keep on saying how horrible it sounds when in fact the review hasn't been fair.
It does seem noisy in your test. Actually bought one months ago and just about to play with it. Maybe I can tweak it to sound better, other reviewers seemed to like it. Still good enough quality to use if I really need to go cordless for something.
Thanks for the honest review.

Glad I could help man
Can you help me to find a good one for the price of 100?

Thanks for the suggestion...will definitely put that into suggestion for the next one
Although we'd like to know, was the current testing in the video still a Little helpful for you by chance?

Are you paid to make this video to say c1 is not good?🤣
