help Boyas BY-M1 FAQ
Why does the BOYA BY-M1 have a camera and smartphone switch?
Cameras and recorders generally require the microphone's LR44 battery and powered camera mode. Many phones provide plug-in power through their headset connection, so the microphone is used in smartphone mode instead.
Will the BY-M1 plug directly into a modern iPhone or USB-C phone?
The microphone terminates in a 3.5 mm TRRS plug, so phones without a headphone socket require a compatible Lightning or USB-C audio adapter. Not every passive dongle accepts microphone input, making adapter compatibility more important than the connector shape alone.
How long is the BOYA BY-M1 cable?
The attached cable is about 6 meters long, which is useful when a camera is positioned several meters from the speaker. That length can also create handling noise or tangles, so excess cable should be secured rather than left rubbing against clothing.
Is the BY-M1 suitable for recording two people?
One BY-M1 is an omnidirectional single-capsule lavalier and is intended to be clipped near one speaker. A two-person interview normally needs two microphones and a compatible splitter or recorder with separate inputs.
