Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

2.4 GHz wireless lavalier system; the sensitivity belongs to the omnidirectional capsule built into the transmitter, before the radio link. The receiver is what plugs into the host, over USB-C, Lightning or 3.5 mm TRS.

Gain Staging Advice

A published dBV/Pa on a wireless system is a statement about the capsule only. What reaches the recorder has been through the transmitter's own gain, the link and the receiver's output stage, and none of those are published, so this number cannot be used to predict recorded level - only to compare capsules.

What the datasheet actually says

Quoted verbatim from the manufacturer’s own page, with the date we checked it. We state what is printed, not what anyone intended by it.

One figure, several models
«Mic Sensitivity -37 dBV ± 2dB @ 1 KHz, 94dB SPL»

Hollyland publishes the same -37 dBV for the LARK M2, the LARK M2S and the LARK A1 - three transmitters with different capsule housings, different maximum SPL (115, 116 and 120 dB) and different signal-to-noise ratios. The tolerance is written three ways across the three pages: "± 2dB", "± 2dB" and "±2dBV".
