Content creation has become more and more mainstream in the last 5-10 years, and with that growth in popularity, the need to set your content apart from the competition has become paramount. Once of the best ways to do that is to provide good sounding audio for your consumers, which is typically done by skipping the built-in microphone in your recording device, and replacing it with a dedicated microphone. In this review we will be taking a look at the FiFine M9, a wireless lavalier microphone set with two transmitters and a single receiver. With compatibility with a wide range of recording devices, the M9 is poised to be a compelling option for those that need the freedom of a wireless microphone setup, without the hassle of an overly complex setup.
Special thanks to FiFine for providing the M9 Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone review sample.
Specifications
Packaging
The M9 comes in a fairly straightforward retail box, with an image of the microphone system on the front. This front panel also lists a few of the features of the M9, including the active noise cancellation, range of up to 100 feet, and battery life.
Around back the box lists the components found inside, along with an additional features list and some regulatory information.
Inside the box we find a hard-shell carrying case with all of the additional components and accessories inside, as well as a User’s Guide.
Inside the hard-shell case is a good arrangement of cables and accessories along with the charging case, two transmitters, and receiver. Cabling options include a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to 3.5mm TRS cable, A 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRSS cable, and a 3.5mm TRS to 3.5mm TRS cable. Each audio cable has a 90-degree connection on the TRS side to help with cable organization.
Additionally, two small detachable windscreens are available for each of the transceivers.
