Microphone Takstar V1 Dual Wireless Video Microphone for Apple

Externally, the Takstar V1, both the microphone and the receiver, looks quite conservative: we have a black square module with rounded edges, made of plastic and metal. Controls and various kinds of LEDs are a practical minimum: the side faces have synchronization and recording level buttons (receiver), a USB type-C port (both), line (receiver), headphone (microphone) and microphone (microphone) connectors; front panel - power/sync key (microphone), as well as three diodes with clear markings (both). In turn, on the rear panel of the housing of both modules there is a convenient clip for quickly attaching the device to a camera, smartphone and other surfaces. It is important to note that you can also “attach” wind protection to the microphone, which, fortunately, is provided as standard.

To begin with, it should be noted that the microphone pair operates in the 2.4 GHz radio range (2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz), which avoids various interferences with other devices operating in radio networks. In addition, Takstar V1 will delight the user with a large range of action, which is up to 20 m indoors and up to 50 m in open locations. This will allow you to conveniently and efficiently conduct interviews and film reports without feeling spatially constrained. The autonomy of the setup also did not disappoint: it is 8 hours, which is enough even for recording long streaming sessions. As for the direct sound characteristics of the microphone, here we will talk about a balanced, melodic presentation, combining a developed timbral spectrum, a wide dynamic range and a skillfully calibrated frequency response, which together contribute to comfortable listening to recordings obtained using the V1 Dual Wireless.
