Godox WMicS1 Dual Channel Wireless Microphone System - Budget Consumer Grade System

In this episode, we have a look at and listen to the Godox WMicS1 UHF wireless microphone system. This budget wireless microphone system features a dual channel receiver and you can buy it in a kit with two transmitters. You can also add a handheld wireless interview microphone later. What differentiates this from the slew of other dual channel consumer wireless systems is that the Godox WMicS1 transmits over a Wideband range of frequencies (514 -596MHz) This frequency can, in theory, transmit through barriers more readily than the 2.4GHz used by most other consumer wireless systems. And perhaps more importantly, you can tune each transmitter to one of 96 channels. You cannot do that with the 2.4GHz consumer wireless systems. Let’s have a look at how it works in real-world conditions!

Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.

Blink500 Pro vs. Lark 150: Live Review of Saramonic and Hollyland Wireless Mic Systems

Stream starts at 22:15.

In this livestream, we do a high-level review of the Saramonic Blink500 Pro and Hollyland Lark 500 wireless microphone systems. Both systems support two transmitters/microphones for each receiver, are priced near $300 USD, and have very small 2.4GHz wireless transmitters. In this review, I'll provide audio samples, evaluate the sound quality, show an outdoor distance test, and I'll give you my recommendations.
