Digital camera microphone BOYA BY-MM1 Pro

The BOYA BY-MM1 Pro is a dual-capsule condenser shotgun microphone designed for digital cameras, smartphones and portable recorders. It captures high-quality on-axis sound from the front and usable off-axis audio from the rear, with a frequency response suitable for speech and general-purpose recording. The microphone uses a wired 3.5 mm connection and offers a lightweight, compact form factor for field use.

Advantages

The dual-capsule super-cardioid design improves directional pickup and off-axis noise rejection, delivering clearer speech and dialog. A detachable shock mount reduces handling and vibration noise, while a built-in 3.5 mm output cable and selectable camera/smartphone mode make the microphone compatible with DSLRs, smartphones and tablets. The microphone’s low-noise circuitry and 80 dB signal-to-noise ratio support cleaner recordings in typical video and mobile-journalism scenarios.

How to use

Position the microphone toward the primary sound source for optimal directional pickup.

Recommendations

For best results, mount the microphone on a stable support and use the shock mount to minimise handling noise. When recording with a smartphone, test the connection and microphone mode before important takes and monitor levels where possible to avoid clipping.
