The Best Practice Of Getting The Best Audio
In Front Of Camera?

To get the best audio quality possible you need to be as close to the microphone as possible. Even if you try using a shotgun to round the problem, the best practice may still require a boom pole to shorten the pickup range for clarity. Let alone the situation where you can’t just sit still in front of the camera the whole time. Especially when you have to shoot and record the footage all by yourself, thus inevitably paying less attention to keeping a consistent speaking range.

Then it’s left with the wireless lav microphone to play the role of the life-saver. Clip it on, walk around without noticing it, and yet get decent audio. It sums up the whole point of a wireless lav system, but there are more details to it in every aspect from setup to usage, and this FIFINE M9 is no exception either.

A Wireless Lav System Isn't Completed
Without A Charging Case

Nothing special about the plug-out-and-turn-on as well as the put-back-and-recharge features. But it’s just good to know that the convenience of charging is there covering your back. While you’re hooking up the receiver with your phone and camera in a second, transmitters will auto-pair with it. It’s a so smooth setup process that you don’t even notice that the system runs on battery.

A 1200 mAh "Power Bank" For The System

Since it does, you still need to make sure the transmitter and receivers aren’t short of power, or at least the included case that has its own battery to charge everything up is brimmed juice. Then with its 1200 mAh battery capacity, you can charge the whole system from empty twice. To get the full average 6-hour battery life on each transmitter, it takes around one and a half hours to charge. But with the Ace up your sleeve to play, the charging case that works as a dedicated power bank, you’re pretty much relieved from the battery-life anxiety, even for a full day of shooting.

Charging Status Indicators

And the user-friendly charging method doesn’t stop at the case, but also the details to indicate the status as well as battery life. Four LED dots at the front of the case show how much charge it has got, and whether they’re blinking tells you the charging status. When you open the case, the battery indicators on top of the receiver and transmitter will also let you know that they are still charged by blinking green.

Charging While Using

But it’s not a big deal to have the system fully charged in some casual case that you might not necessarily be in the frame. Because if you don’t mind the twisted wiring, you can charge the transmitters and receivers while using.

A Quarter Into A Pint Pot

Take the transmitter right out of the case first, while it’s not pairing with the receiver, then, another indicator on top of, the sync light will blink blue to warn you of the losing connection.

The matt finish front panels of the receiver and transmitters with modern linear design are in line with the case, to keep the whole system discreet all the time. The shiny surface may look even better in aesthetic, but it’s not that playing with the character of a lav mic system, picking up good sound but without being noticed. But it’s not all that smileless, you even get a smiley face on each transmitter to make it Lego-like when you’re not twisting the windshield in.

Wind But Also Harshness Muffer & 
Belt Clip But Also Camera Mount

Yes! You’re just putting the included dead cat in, but there’s a mechanism on the microphone to let it stay so securely that it doesn’t have a chance to fall off. It does more than the wind muffer! If you find the reproduced voice to be harsh, it can also help shield off some higher frequencies to smooth the audio slightly.   

One of the components that a lav mic can’t miss is the belt clip, all three of them also double as the cold shoe mount for cameras.

Power But Also Mute Button & 
One-Key Noise Reduction

Although the whole system is turned on or off automatically by putting in or pulling out of the charging case, you get a power switch in case you don’t have the charging case on hand. And most importantly, it serves as a quick mute button by clicking it once. And the sync light will turn from solid blue to solid red to give you a warning.

Other than the power/mute button, you also get the pairing and noise-cancellation keys as the backup features for dealing with some extreme situations, like the system won’t auto pair again or you’re live streaming or conferencing in a crowded environment.

Not just the design and the finish to help it dress down, but also the size, since it’s quite eye-catching to have a bulky thing hanging on your shirt. The small and compact body plays down the existence of the mic, besides it isn’t too light to drop or lost without notice or too heavy to drag your clothing down.

Stripped-down Design, But No Skimp On Performance

The same straightforward control goes on the receiver as well, all the features come in physical buttons for even the blind maneuver. The screen only works as a display of the status, but at least rest assured that your blind control won’t end up in a horrible result, since it clearly shows you the mono or stereo mode and the status of power, sync, and volume of each microphone.

Independent Volume Control

The receiver is far from those that all-guns-blazing camera mixer, but you can still take it as a stripped-down version. First comes the must-have volume control. In case you have two people speaking at different volumes or you need a second wireless microphone recorded at a lower level as a safe backup option, the independent volume buttons will definitely steal the show.

But there’s no headphone monitoring or level indicator on the transmitter or receiver themselves, so you will need to make a thorough audio check or recording test to set the proper level before kicking off.

Mono/Stereo Setting

If it’s a dual wireless system with a separate volume control for each transmitter, then it’s expected to have more features for customization! You may not get what “M/S” means at first glance, but it becomes intuitive control if we tell you that’s the abbreviation of MONO or STEREO.

The latter one records a mixed track of both transmitters. Since you can’t separate them afterward, the independent volume buttons play an even more crucial role in the best possible audio in this mode.

But it’s defaulted in mono recording that the audio from one mic goes into, say, the left channel while the other comes through the right channel. In the post, you can process them independently. This mode should be your first choice if you intend to do some high-quality mixing.

Compatibility Can't Be Beat
Pick Your Gear

With the 3.5mm output jack on the receiver, you can connect it to your camera or phone through the included adapter to record and don’t have to sync the clips and audio together. In order to fit as many recording devices as possible and save you the trouble of finding the proper adapter, you get quite a few accessories in this package.

It includes the TRS one to hook up gear with a dedicated mic jack, like cameras, and PCs, the TRRS one to connect with devices having a mic & headphone combo jack instead, such as laptops or mobiles with 3.5mm port, while for most phones that have only USB port, the Type-C one has your back covered. However, for iPhones that use a lightening jack, you will need a headphone adapter for the connection.

All three cables have the flexible coil part and the L-shape plug to avoid stretching noises that result from insufficient length, especially if your camera is quite bulky.

Stability Up To 160 Feet

Back to the whole point of a wireless system is to explore a space in front of a camera without being inhibited by the best microphone pick-up distance or just being tied down a wire to the camera. Up to 160 feet of wireless range gives you the confidence to not just record workout tutorials outside and make conferencing calls without being restricted in your bedroom, but also vlog your daily life or travel on the road.

Penetration Can't Be Faulted
Record Your Way

But unless it’s for live events, in other applications you might not need the longest wireless range but the most powerful penetration. Since vlogs or gyms could take place in traffic-heavy places sometimes, the stability of the wireless signal is all the more important. Even if you turn your back to the camera or phone without notice, it won’t cause an instant cut-out because of the body block of the signal.

In terms of obstacles to wireless transmission, the concrete wall doesn’t come close to the human body. That means drop-outs hardly become a hassle for your indoor use, even if you walk up the second floor while the conferencing call is still running on the first-floor computer.

It's All Down To The Sound Now

The wireless range is important. But if you’re 200 meters away, and the audio sounds terrible, then even the longer distance doesn’t make much sense. But at the same time, audio quality is a pretty subjective thing, different people have their own definition of good sounding. But one type of audio always stands out, which is the natural sound. It doesn’t have the fancy preset to customize the EQ or to apply filters but just want really good audio out of the omnidirectional condenser microphone for the price.

  • Since the clipped-to-your-shirt lav mic can’t be eaten into your mouth, in many cases, it needs to be more toward the highs to get usable clarity. But then it’s inevitable to be top-end heavy to get the audio that is tiny yet harsh at the same time to your ears. This pair of M9 microphones manages to balance the muddiness, hollowness, and harshness.
  • There’s some real presence of warmth to it, though it’s not enough to make the lav mic your next podcast gear with the characteristic radio sound, it’s capable of offsetting the grinding frequencies to make the whole audio a bit more pleasant and smoother.
  • With the bass presence combined with the mid-body support, you’re not getting some too-tiny or super scooped sound. But treble isn’t muddled up either, you can spot the high-end details from the smooth sound to get a more natural feeling. The crisp clarity should still be the prominent tone to some people’s ears. But the upside is that even if you clip the mic a bit lower on your clothing, your voice won’t significantly get soft.
