Design

When reviewing both the receiver and microphones, we found devices in our hands with polished workmanship, rectangular shape, lightweight, and easy to transport. Each one has a clip on the back that makes it easy to grip and hold on almost any surface.

The black color makes it understated and ideal for those who prefer classic tones. Outside of the screen, its matte finish completely reduces the likelihood of fingerprints or smudges of any type remaining on the surface. Each button is precisely positioned, sized appropriately, and appropriately identified as to its function in the operation of each piece of equipment.

It is worth saying that the accessories included in its composition are one of the pleasant surprises in the perception of the new product. BUY-XM6-S2Not only do they include good materials, but they also include designs that showcase the work, which obviously go well with the product and look good when captured in a video.

OLED screens: success

Getting started with the product, each of the devices (two transmitters and a receiver) includes an OLED screen that displays each graph, indication and numbers in blue. The benefits that this type of technology brings to panels, beyond the strength it gives to colors, are moderate battery consumption and image clarity – details that undoubtedly improve the user experience.

Navigating between menus, another important point, is simple and does not require special technical knowledge. The screen, which is the fundamental point in this area, will respond accordingly, ensuring that each selected option is correctly visualized.

Experience of use

In an interview, it is very important to ensure the guest’s comfort, and one of the ways to achieve this, within the set of characteristics that we at Interviews T&T manage to do our job, is to allow the person to feel comfortable during the dialogue. For this reason, the audio solutions that can be used should be wireless, as they are products that provide freedom of movement and the pleasant feeling of not being tethered to annoying cables.

From ease of use, BUY-XM6-S2 They have always offered the option of having a system that is cable-free and easy to use. Additionally, having two receivers gave us a lot more options, not only managing the interview, but also improving the audio when asking questions to a guest, an area where we had a problem but which this product solved in a simple and convenient way.

Without a doubt, working with a solution that offers high-quality sound is very comfortable. Interviews were conducted with the greatest calm and worry about “how the sound is coming out” stopped bothering us, not only because we realized that the product actually does what it promised and delivers excellent sound quality, but also because we can monitor the sound captured by this microphone system in real time thanks to the output that the receiver has for this purpose. This is the detail that makes an audio recording look professional.

The receiver, without a doubt, plays a decisive role in the performance of these microphones. The screen of this important device reflects in real time the sound power of the microphone being used, a detail that is advisable to monitor while recording audio. As always, everyone’s speech strength is different, which can initially be a problem for any recording system, but BUY-XM6-S2 They allow you to adjust the gain on levels from 1 to 6 to control the strength of each statement and thus achieve the expected end result.

Range in wireless solutions is another factor to consider. There is no point in having a microphone that forces the people involved to be very close. When BUY-XM6-S2With a range of 100 meters, it is synonymous with the quality and reliability required for audio recording, while also providing the convenience of allowing you to create different types of shots and frames without having to be at short distances.

Stereo or mono? Personally, we in the T&T interview prefer stereo sound, but if someone needs to record on one channel, they won’t have to worry as the microphones in their configuration allow these settings, providing two alternatives so that users can use the one that suits them best in a particular situation. records.

If the type of scene or certain items of clothing require the audio recording device to be smaller in size, this is not a problem. Accessories include two lavalier devices that are ultra-compact in size and even lighter in weight. Personalization of the experience is a reality, and for our part we emphasize that we can integrate the system as required in each case, without the need to compare more accessories.

Battery

Here we find another added value of microphones. BUY-XM6-S2 they deliver to their users: each module provides up to 7 hours of battery life, details that have always given us confidence that we have enough charge to have energy for various interviews without depending on the charger or worrying about one of the things we As technology users, we fear the most: low battery.

It charges via USB-C, and yes, the package also includes charging cables for each device. BOYA left nothing to chance and combined everything into one package to make the game as comfortable as possible.
