BOYA BY-M1 Lavalier Microphone 3.5mm TRS
The BOYA BY-M1 is a wired omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone made by BOYA, a well-known Chinese audio accessory brand specialising in budget-friendly broadcast and video gear.
It uses a small lapel-clip capsule with a 360-degree omnidirectional pickup pattern and connects through a 3.5mm gold-plated TRS plug, making it compatible with DSLRs, camcorders, audio recorders, PCs and (with adapters) smartphones.
The capsule captures clear, natural-sounding speech across a 65Hz to 18kHz range, which is wide enough to handle dialogue, narration and conference voice work without sounding boxy or thin.
The microphone is powered by a single LR44 button-cell battery housed in an inline power module, with a 6-metre cable that gives the speaker a lot of room to move.
A 6.35mm (1/4 inch) adapter is included for use with mixers, PA systems and amplifiers, alongside a foam windscreen and a sturdy metal lapel clip.
Output impedance is 1000 ohms with a signal-to-noise ratio of 74dB, and the capsule itself weighs only 2.5g so it sits discreetly on clothing.
In a Sri Lankan context, the BY-M1 is one of the most widely used entry-level lavalier mics for YouTube creators, podcast guests, school and university presentations, dhamma talks, training sessions and small conference speakers.
The 6m cable length suits seated interview setups, panel discussions and corporate video shoots, while the 3.5mm plug plus 6.35mm adapter make it usable with both camera rigs and venue PA systems for poya day sermons, school prize-givings and church services.
