BOYA BY-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black)

The BOYA BY-M1 is an affordable, versatile omnidirectional lavalier microphone designed for creators, educators, and professionals who need clear, broadcast-quality audio for video production, presentations, podcasting, and live streaming. It’s built for universal compatibility across a wide range of devices, including smartphones, DSLRs, camcorders, audio recorders, and Mac and Windows computers.

The microphone features an electret condenser omnidirectional pickup pattern, providing full 360-degree sound coverage that captures consistent, natural-sounding voice regardless of subject head movement, making it well suited to interviews and vlogging. It offers a frequency response of 65Hz to 18kHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of 74dB or more, along with a sensitivity of -30dB, delivering reliable, low-noise voice capture for everyday recording needs.

A generous integrated cable extends to 20 feet (6m), giving users substantial freedom of movement and camera placement flexibility without being tethered close to their recording device. The microphone connects via a 3.5mm TRRS gold-plated mini-jack, with an included 1/4″ adapter for compatibility with devices lacking a TRRS input. A control module along the cable includes a switch to toggle between “Camera” and “OFF/Smartphone” modes: when used with a smartphone, the switch is set to off since the phone supplies its own plug-in power, while switching it on activates the included LR44 battery for use with cameras and other devices that don’t provide power to the mic.

Build quality includes a compact, lightweight microphone capsule paired with a lapel clip for securing the mic to clothing, along with an included foam windscreen to help reduce wind noise and handling noise during recording. The package typically includes the microphone, lapel clip, foam windscreen, 1/4″ adapter, LR44 battery, carrying pouch, and a user manual.
