help Boya BY-M1 (Wired) FAQ
Which devices can the BOYA BY-M1 plug into?
Its 3.5 mm four-pole plug and selectable smartphone or camera mode support many phones, cameras, computers, and audio recorders. Phones without a headphone jack require a compatible USB-C or Lightning audio adapter.
Does the BOYA BY-M1 need a battery?
The original BY-M1 uses one LR44 button battery, particularly when operating in camera mode. This differs from the later BY-M1S, which is designed to work without a battery.
How long is the BY-M1 microphone cable?
BOYA specifies a cable length of 6 meters, or roughly 20 feet. That is useful for interviews and standing presentations but can be cumbersome for close smartphone recording.
Does the BOYA BY-M1 record only the speaker directly in front of it?
No, its condenser capsule has an omnidirectional pickup pattern and captures sound from every direction. Clipping it close to the speaker's mouth is therefore important in noisy rooms.
