Awesome video, Scott! I watched a few different reviews of the MoveMic, and yours was definitely the most thorough. Do you think this lav mic would be a decent solution for someone recording simple videos/streams at home, and for stuff like Zoom calls? I'm in a big, echoey room that I'm unfortunately unable to treat. My daily driver is a SM7B, but I've honestly grown sick of having it directly in my face and in frame all the time. Thinking this might be my next best option.
I’ve been using the rode wireless pros for all of my live and recorded mobile setups. They have have worked well but the option to add noise reduction and compression is a game changer for the livestreams. Great review man.
Thank you! And I agree, I love how customizable they are. And how tiny it is too. And, I forgot to mention in the video, the logo blends in on the mic. So it’s not big green or white text that says “SHURE” on it which makes it distracting for videos. It’s extremely well designed!
Another great review and tutorial Scott... Just wondering how the sound quality would be if recording a live band session? Hope you try this out when you get a chance.. Thank you Scott!
Thanks! And I’m sure it would get the sound of the room, but lav mics aren’t really designed for that…. But there is no rule that says you can’t try it 😂 Would be interesting to see the results since it’s not really meant for that. Definitely curious
what bit rate does it record in...? also is using two for recording an audio playback from a hifi system going to be better than just one...will it give stereo in one or do i need to record with two mics❓the Lark mics i had, would not connect into my iphone with my case on!
Wow great explanation ❤ Subscribed 👍 but 1 question. because if we use Bluetooth it will be very limited on the app I can use. Like if I want to stream directly to Tiktok for example 😂. Can I just use Type c to type c connector and connect it to my android phone with the receiver? And if I previously had set the mic using its app via Bluetooth. will the settings be saved on the receiver as well? Thank you
Thanks for the sub 🤘 you cannot connect the mics directly to a phone because the usb c is on the case, not the mics. But you can use the receiver kit for connecting it to other things besides Bluetooth if you need. And the settings save to each individual device which is nice
@@ScottUhlMusic yes it was a while back. I an finding very difficult to find how to easily record two channels to an iphone. I think I have asked quite a few that reviewed this system, including shure! In any case, thanks for answering
Would this probably work for live audio? I have a portable speaker that I typically play music with via bluetooth, and then I project my voice at the same time using the 1/4 jack input. So would it likely work to just get a 3.5 mm to 1/4 jack adapter and plug it in? (The reason I'm not just directly going for something simpler like a Lekato transmitter is I need to have two microphones. And I'd ideally like to be able to control gain and audio filtering so I can try to fight reverb effects from my speaker.)
@@ScottUhlMusic This would be for dance instruction, so I don't particularly care much about tone quality and stuff. I did consider just getting a Shure BLX4 system, but the issue is I won't have an outlet so I'd need to battery power the receiver. (Which if you have recommendations how to do let me know but I'm personally not certain how to do that properly.)
Ideally the mic system has the ability to record in 32bit float, or be able to record onto the mic directly for a certain amount of time. Other than that, it looks like a great solution.
Would it be possible to use the two clip-on mics with the receiver and have the output routed to two separate channels on a mixer by using a cable 1/8" (male) to two XLR (female)? I'm a musician that has a Duo group where we both sing and I was curious as to how they would sound.
I love your videos, always good stuff. It did make it feel more like a paid promotion that the competition was not mentioned. Just had a feel “don’t mention Rode or DJI in your video”. A feature/function comparison would have been nice or at least mention of. If you have the receiver, not being able to use the app for settings is a little bit of a shortcoming, if that is indeed the case. Pairing the app with the receiver would be very beneficial. The app and video app both look like great features.
Thanks for watching. I was not told to say that. And I don’t own any Rode or DJI products in order to do a comparison. I often don’t like doing comparison videos… my advice is to watch videos on multiple projects and whichever ones have the features that fit best for you, use them 👍
Hi can this be connected to a audio mixer ? Like an Allen & Heath mixer , Yamaha mg mixer , Mackie etc ? Can you do a video on that . Also DJI mic systems and Rode go mic if they can be connected to a regular mixer
Great review, Scott!...Strange that they are not at Amazon!! OK, a quick question, Scott... if I get the whole kit and I have to add both mics to my mixer's input as L & R, two separate channels, how do I connect it to my mixers MIC XLR inputs? Thanks.
Thanks! And you would just need a 3.5mm TRS cable to dual TS cables and get xlr adapters. Or getting a 3.5mm TRS to dual xlr cable as well, just be careful to not send phantom power to those inputs 🤘
Hi Scott. What's The sensitivity like? Would it tolerate being in front of a guitar amp or inside a kick drum, for example? Second, what's the live latency like through the app? The video app could be artificially syncing as it will know what the Bluetooth latency is? Lastly, what's the latency over 2.4GHz through the receiver? Love your reviews. Hi from the UK!
It’s a lav mic, I definitely wouldn’t use it for a kick drum or a guitar amp. There is no latency with the receiver unit, so if you need real time monitoring you’ll need to use that, not the app 🤘 Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Hey Scott ... Great video! Quick question for you ... Could you use this Wireless System in a live setting? I was thinking of using this for wedding ceremonies to place one of these on the groom and one on the officiant. For the receiver, go from the 3.5 trs to xlr into a speaker. Wasn't sure if that was possible?
Would it be possible to use these mic to add an adjustable ambiant sound into a wireless in-ear monitor system like in the 3DME IEM from ASI but with regular IEM ? One would need a way to inject some adjustable ambiant sound into the IEM receiver (e.g. to talk with band members or to add some ambient sound into the personal mix). If this is not possible with this system, do you know of a way to do this in a small form factor easy to use in a live situation ?
That’s an interesting idea… I’m not sure tbh. I’ve never used a lav mic as an ambient mic. A larger Omni mic might do the job better, but I would be curious how that would sound.
Thank you! This was a preset with Neutron 3 from Izotope which was “NPR Radio” which I tweaked a tiny bit. Gullfoss goes on basically everything, and then a little comp and eq from Logic plugins 🤘 my room is actually untreated, so the stuff that I filmed in post I filmed while holding a blanket over my head hahaha, but talking into the camera was all in my untreated room.
nice review, complete and clear, i feel i can use it just by watching this video without reading manual, nice too to hear different audio setting, your current setting is the best sounding in my opinion (subscribed after watch few video, its helpful especially if the gear good but affordable price, thanks)
Pairing sounds a pain. I have a Fulaim X5 and it's always connected to the receiver. The audio sounds really good, together with the adjustments in the app. The wind muffs look really minimal. Do they work in an outdoor windy setting or do they need real deadcats? No review I've seen has checked this out!!! Not even you!
Pairing is great on this, and I haven’t tried it in the wind. Wind is always tough no matter if you have a wind screen or not (although it definitely helps)
sorry if i missed it, something that really matters for me is the ability to have a safety track if you buy only the mic without the receiver... great review mate
Hey Scott, as always, amazing job and your channel is my favorite one since I discovered it a couple of weeks ago. I do have a question regarding this mic system: Among different services, I'm a wedding DJ and even though I love to use fail-proof wireless mics for the ceremony, I'm thinking about downsizing. I currently use 2 Sennheiser XSW receivers with one bodypack/lapel mic for the officiant plus a handheld for vows. I connect both receivers to a chinese knock-off antenna distro with the paddles and it works perfectly, even in crowded areas. But as mentioned, I’m thinking about downsizing so I thought about a system like this, placing the receiver on top of the speaker (for a clean line of sight) plus the proper cable for splitting the signal and twicking both channels accordingly. I would set one mic to the officiant and the second one, to the groom or to the officiant's clipboard. Would you go that route and risk it or keep the existing system. They both have pros and cons of course. Thanks!
Thanks for following the channel! Hmmm interesting. I actually have gone with the Shure SLXD digital portable system for clip on mics for weddings. It’s digital and true diversity. Obviously you still need to wear a pack, but that will always be more reliable. Clear line of sight is always best so I’m glad you mentioned that because SO many people say “it sounded good at sound check and then people showed up and it stopped working.” I’m willing to bet it would work well, but I always have a handheld ready just in case (even with my very nice Shure wireless for the lav/clip on mic). Hope that helps! I definitely think you could, just make sure the distance isn’t too far, the range is 100 ft with these, but I haven’t tested that.
@@ScottUhlMusic thank you so much for the reply and I'll consider all the options. More likely, I'll end up keeoing my existing system beacuse it works perfectly but I'm a maniac that can't stop thinking baout "what's the next purchase?" :). Cheers!
Yup, you push the button on the side and it mutes it (I demo that in the app section of the video). Would be interesting to see if you use these as an ambient mic in the room, but I’m not sure that would be the best way to use them as opposed to another Omni room mic, but hey… you never know!
@@ScottUhlMusic I was probably trying to think of how to word my comment when you mentioned that. 😂 Nah it would just be in-between songs if we needed to say something. Unmute and back to muted sort of thing. That was my first thought for use when I started watching, anyway.
Thanks for asking! I signed up, but it hasn’t been approved yet. Since it just came out today, it’s not on Sweetwater or Amazon yet (at least I haven’t found it). Don’t worry about it, I would rather you guys get the gear you need and I’ll update it as it comes in :) I appreciate you checking though!
Lav mics aren’t specifically really meant for singing. I would use a handheld or “Britney” mic personally for live performance. They have a singing preset though, so it’s possible. But I personally prefer the other ones for live performances
@@ScottUhlMusicwhat about using this when recording RUclips music videos for vocal rather than having a mic in your face? Do a DI for acoustic guitar to a H5 and then the Shure for a vocal? Could that be used for a better audio capture compared to just a room mic for everything? Thoughts?
@@ScottUhlMusic Well, that's unfortunate. I was a little tempted to trade in my DJI mics. But they've got better battery life and magnetic clips. I only wish they had the app and wireless connection to phone.

@@ScottUhlMusic Fantastic. Thanks so much!
Scott, I'll speak for your fans and say we really appreciate everything you do! The time and effort you put into your videos is incredible.
Thanks so much Ernie, I appreciate that 💪

Thanks! And there should be a button for that
Can I use this to record my gigs for RUclips and TikTok? As a bass player I’m
Looking for a good phone mic
I wouldn’t use a lav mic for bass, I would record more direct for something like that
Would love to see you review Hollyland Lark M2
Great review!!! As always: super nice explanation!!!
