Hohem MIC-01 | Innovative wireless microphone for smartphones

Oho this is Dena check this out it fits into a free well case you can use it with filters and lenses you can fit it into ham gimbal you can use it as a remote to start and stop recording it also saves the audio directly here as a backup plus it has zillion other features ham who is also a sponsor of today's video created this brand new product called ham m01 today let's take a first look at this new product I'll show you how to use it explain all features and perform many different tests this microphone has been created primarily for smartphones but you can also use it with other cameras tablets and laptops hem mech1 comes in two colors black and white I have the Black Version here this is a lighting version for iPhone 14 and earlier models hem secured mfi certification from Apple to ensure you get the best quality with iPhones this one is for iPhone 15 and Android phones they also offer two different packages one is the receiver and transmitter without a charging case that package is more suitable for solo creators who film Vlogs or do live streaming and the price is little bit more budget friendly I have here the second package which is more suitable for someone who records into interviews or simply needs two smartphones here is what is in this whole package charging case transmitter receiver type-c charging cable wind screen and user manual the charging case is magnetic it all nicely snaps in each transmitter's battery life is 7.5 hours and up to 20 hours with a charging case plus the RX receiver has a type-c charging port so you can actually record and charge the smartphone at the same time the microphone supports mono and stereo recording all specification has been displayed on the screen what I'm excited about is the fact that I can actually use it with this free well case it fits in no problem I couldn't do it with the other microphones I have here I don't know if that would work with even thicker cases probably not this will be the max maximum but it trly works with thin cases all right let's test all the features this is a transmitter TX this can also be charged separately here is USBC Port right beside it is slot for TF card so you can record your audio here as well as backup it supports up to 32 GB cart where you can record up to 94 hours of audio one thing to keep in mind is that once the card is full if you don't erase it or format then when you are recording in order to get a space it will start erasing the oldest audio this can be also used as a stand alone recorder on the other side is 3 and 1 12 mm port for attaching external microphone just another option if you need to hide a microphone the external microphone is not included though the microphone can be attached with a clamp or this magnet so if you are wearing something where the mech would be too close to your mouth you can position this lower with the help of a magnet this is very helpful let's power it on just long press the power button it has built an omnidirectional microphone so it catches sound from every direction even when it is upside down the power button also works as a shutter button press to start recording press to stop recording when you press it it will blank once here's a native camera app here's the Black Magic Camera app it works well I have to mention here that some Android phones might not support start and stop recording a native camera app so if that's the case with your phone you will have to use third party apps such as MC Pro 24 FPS the very same button is also mute button when you double press the light will be white and now it's muted double press and now it's blue unmuted the lower button is noise cancellation and Reverb let's talk about the noise cancellation and test it first of all the microphone has sampling rate of 48 khz and a 16bit depth which is supposed to provide a very nice digital audio and remove any background noise at the same time when the noise cancellation feature is off it is solid blue and you are in High Fidelity or no no noise cancellation level if you press one time you will get to standard level and the light will be green if you press again one time you will get to strong level and the color will be yellow if you press one time one more time you will go back to off and the light will be blue so blue green yellow Let's test this as you can see there is an intersection behind me with a lot of traffic so I want to see how the noise cancellation is going to sound like so right now I don't have it on the light is blue so let me switch it I'm going to press one time and now the light is green so it should be canceling the noise quite a bit as I'm talking right now not sure how much you hear the traffic behind me but this is how it sounds if you have it on moderate now I'm going to press it all the way to Yellow so now it should be the strongest effect the strongest noise cancellation again not sure what do you hear right now I don't have my headset on but I will definitely check in a little bit since I'm already Outdoors let's do a distance test we will see if I'm going to lose the sound I'm GNA keep going and keep going keep going right now I selected the green moderate noise filter reduction so that's a sound coming out I'm just going to keep going it should go up to 100 meters so we will see and I'm quickly going so this is the distance right now I'm going to keep going and keep going keep going hopefully you can still listen to me Reverb can be turned on with the same button what is it Reverb is automatic vocal enhancement it will mask small imperfections in performance and provide depth and warmth to the recording this effect adds a sense of space and depth to the sound mimicking the natural reverberation that occures in different environments simply double press to turn it on and double press to turn it off when it is on purple and blue lights will keep flashing Let's test this feature right now I switched the cameras right now I'm recording with the iPhone 15 Pro I have no microphone attached this is a sound you would get without any microphone just recording on iPhone 15 Pro let's attach the microphone the microphone is on you're listening to the sound from hem MC1 microphone I did not apply the reir feature yet this is the sound you're going to get just with the blue lights the regular sound now let me enable the Reverb the lights are flashing so it should be on so this is the sound you're going to get if you're going to be using the Reverb feature it sounds surely very differently right and let me turn it off again and go back to regular sound now the light is blue and there you go this is the regular sound from hem mech1 let's take a look at the receiver again when you are recording audio you can plug in a headset to monitor real time audio I highly recommend having a headset with you when you go film on location you can check the audio and if any changes needed you can tweak it right on the spot to have a great sound right from get-go what I also like is that this receiver supports audio playback which means that when you want to play the recorded video you just did to listen to the audio you don't have to unplug it from the smartphone to hear it you can also adjust a gain you can increase the audio or lower it there are two buttons here to adjust gain on channel one double press channel one you will see a red light press plus to increase gain or minus to lower the gain it has five level gain control to exit double press the plus or minus button wait 10 seconds and then you can continue recording if you're are going to be using this microphone with a mirrorless camera I have to let you know that this receiver doesn't have a built-in battery so you have to get something where you plug it in for external power you have to also get a 3.5 mm TRS cable which connects to your camera and it's not included in the package what do you think guys about this microphone let me know in a comment section below how do you like the sound coming out of this microphone and how do you like the cancelling noise Fe features and the Reverb I would like to know your opinion I'm going to be using it in the upcoming videos for a while now to see how it's going to react and behave in different environments what sound is going to be coming out of it this is for those who would like to hear more from this microphone so it will be used in the next videos I always link all the gear used for the video I was filming so all the gear I was using cameras lights and
