Boya MM1+ VS Boya BY-MM1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- In this video, I unbox, review and talk a bit about the new budget shotgun microphone, the Boya BY-MM1+, and do a little comparison between it and it's predecessor, the Boya BY-MM1!
Things to take note of:
1. The headphone port of the MM1+ only works with smartphones.
2. The kit actually comes with one black windmuff but it is stuck inside the deadcat (furry windshield), do not try to remove it or you might potentially cause damage to the deadcat.

This is a very helpful video. Many thanks for comparing between the two microphones. ❤️
Hey, Ahad! Nice to hear from you again! How are you doing? Hope you're holding up okay with the current situation!
Cool intro! Thank you so much for another amazing video! 🖤
Thank you, Angelo Mark! It's cool that we have the same name, lol! Stay safe and take care!

Thanks for putting timestamps, Aniki! Still need to remind myself to put this on the description next time!

Great review Mark 👍 Allot of those facts went right over my head. But I can tell you know your stuff. I hope you have a great week my friend 👍
Hey, Jeremy! Thanks! What does your camera + audio setup look like?
This boya mm1 is a great mic especially for outdoor vlogs.. And very reasonable price 😊 nice review. Support ❤️
for record a live concert with the smartphone, which is better? mm1 or mm1+ or mm1 PRO?
Good review once again, sir. I like the MM1 sound quality the best.
Hey, Tourino! Glad you think so! Cheers!
I just ordered this yesterday! So excited to use it already ❤
That's awesome! Congratulations on your new purchase! What are you planning to use it with?
@@markfriday I just started my youtube channel and I post mostly covers. I was actually planning to buy the by-mm1 but I saw that this is available already.
Both the BY-MM1 and the BY-MM1+ are great options, you will not go wrong with either one! I checked out your videos and noticed you do song covers, right? You might want to watch this video, this can give you better sound quality in terms of music recording:

Please do consider subscribing as well! Thanks, Ritz!
@@markfriday Ooh thanks for the recommendation! Already subscribed to your channel. This is the only video about by-mm1+ in English 😅
That's actually why I made this video, I saw lots of videos being posted on Yotube and none of them were in English! lol
Hi Mark! As always, great video. I'm wondering if I can still use the Boya mic while earphones with a built in mic is plugged in? What mic will capture the audio, is it the boya mic or the built in one?
Good quality content, you deserve more views and subs. Subbed
Edit: saw the audio pass through, I'm sold.
Hi again, Zugzwang! Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! I saw that you play PubG! Are you planning to use this with your gaming rig?
@@markfriday I'll be hooking it up to my canon7d on a tophandle with a monitor, will be using it for product shoots, short ads and some filmmaking, were you able to make the audio pass through work with a dslr?
Oh, great! I use the MM1+ with my GH5 with a some sort of similar setup to yours, I can't use the old MM1 on it because it's too hot (loud). What do you mean by pass through?
@@markfriday the mm1+ has a 3.5mm for monitor right?
Oh, sorry, it doesn't work for DSLRs, the headphone input just works with smartphones, they saved this feature for their more expensive shotgun and wireless microphones.
Love your accent bro, thanks for the good review!

@@markfriday I already subscribe bro, I'll always look forward to more of your videos.
@@markfriday May I ask? how do i connect that Boya By-MM1+ to an XLR of an Audio Interface? Thanks!
Hey, bro, you will need a 3.5mm to XLR converter, I own one, I didn't buy it but it was included in a kit I bought from Boya a year ago, but I'm pretty sure you can purchase it from your local music/tech store.
@@markfriday Okay, is it the pro 35C-XLR or just the normal 35C-XLR converter?
Hi, i have realized that to do any good recording, it is essential to use an external mic. I am planning to record my school's video lesson on my smartphone.
Do you think i should just get the Boya BY MM 1, or fork in some extra cash for this Boya BY MM 1plus? 😁
Tha ks for sharing bro!
You're welcome, bro! See ya around on UA-cam!
Hi, Mark! How do you post process the audio captured by the Boya BY-MM1/MM1+?
Love how clean your voice sounds in your vids keep it up!
Hi, Rhay! Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it! As for the audio processing, I just add a simple EQ in post and make sure my lowest sound is at around -12 and loudest at -6! What are your needs in terms of audio? Do you record it with video? Or just plain audio?
@@markfriday how do you do that?
Hey mate do u know how can i fix My voice in Sony vegas i mean the Quality sound, i use boya by mm1
Liked the review. I think you should add a comparison of the shock mount. Is any of this footage with the gh5 + by-mm1+? Someone commented that their by-mm1+ couldn't run of phantom v48...
Thanks for you input, Kyle! Already storyboarding for a video I will make either today or tomorrow for comparisons and FAQs. Anything else you would want to know about it or want to see in the next video?
Hey, Kyle! Here's the new video! I compared the shock mounts and talked about other stuff!
ua-cam.com/video/ENqkDZV5Xew/v-deo.html
Hi Mark. Great review and comparison! Can you please review the Boya WM8 Pro K1 Wireless Lapel microphone? I've heard it's great!
Hi there! You're in luck! Boya just sent me their latest wireless lavalier mic, which is way better than the WM8 Pro K1 and almost at the same price point I recon, I am still testing it at the moment so please subscribe and stay tuned! Will be releasing the video within the month!
@@markfriday Oh wow! That's great Mark. I have already subscribed to your channel and love your videos. Will be on the lookout for your new video!
The headphones out jack is most likely just a passtrough from the TRRS, so audio coming out of the same device (phone for example) into which the microphone is plugged into, so the audio is not a direct monitoring port.
Is good for Videoconference.
in all aspects from volume to clarity .... What should i buy with this 2 ?? I'm using Smartphone Indoor & Outdoors
Hi Mark! New subscriber here 😀 I really enjoy your videos. Great content!
I plan to record song covers using my smartphone, which one would you recommend? Thanks!!
Hi, Kristina! Thank you for subscribing and welcome to this small community! Glad to have you here! I would definitely have you pick the Boya BY MM1+, it just sounds so crispy and premium compared to the MM1.
Nice comparison. For smartphone use recording music, would u say u need the extra gain of the older boya?
If you plan on editing and shooting with your phone, I would definitely point you towards the MM1+ but if you just need better sound, the louder MM1 would be a good choice! Please do subscribe for more budget friendly gear related videos coming soon!
Boya MM1+ is not available in my reigon. I have been waiting for it for some time but MM1 is available, I don't know what should do?
for record a live concert with the smartphone, which is better? mm1 or mm1+ or mm1 PRO ?
To be honest I don't really use the headset icon thing cause I don't know what does it do, plus i don't think I will use it in a phone
Hey, Darren! You got the MM1+ ? The headphone input is actually fairly useful specially when your workflow revolves around just using your smartphone but then again, it's not that "significant" to base your purchase or upgrade just off of this feature.
Hello, Should i get mm1 or mm1+ bro. I want to record videos on UA-cam and also for streaming for Gaming through Pc (Laptop)
What mic would you Recommend
For the best audio Quality?
Thanks in advance.
How do you put it on the red thing? I'm afraid I'll break it
Man, I've never been so fast to your video here
Hi, Calvin! What's up! Thanks for watching!
Nice content there Mark! Just curious is this readily being sold, cause as far as I could find it's not readily available in various places and the info about this mic is pretty limited
Thanks, Calvin! It should already be available. It's currently being sold in the chain tech stores here in Hong Kong and it's available on Amazon now as well. I think it's a matter of whether they know that this new microphone has come out or not, maybe because of the limitations of the pandemic as well?
Hello, thanks for the video, can you help me, the usual question, should I buy the plus or the old boya, I am looking to take outdoor vlogs (walk in park, noisy Street etc), indoor vlogs, review etc, also strictly mobile only shooting. No camera. Can you help me which one? Does this require open camera at all times, I have a Asus6z.
waiting for the answers
Which one to choose for music instrument video recording on smartphone? Thank you!
Hi, MS Kalimba! Definitely go for the MM1+ so you don't have to keep removing the cables when trying to playback recordings! Please subscribe and be part of this community! Thanks!
Hey Mark
I hope you doing great❤️❤️❤️
Is this MM1+ Is best mic for outdoor shoot like vlogging with smartphone?
Hey, Vedappu Cuts! Both MM1 and MM1+ are good for outdoor vlogging! Just make sure you put on the included deadcat! Please subscribe and be part of the community! Thanks, buddy!
@@markfriday thanks mate and subscribed❤️
Can we use mm1+ with m50? Is it better for vlogging compared to the mm1? What is the difference? Please Reply!
Recently, I bought BY MM1 coz I've watched from your reviews. Now BY MM1+ came out haha. But as you've said, not that much reason to upgrade. 🙂
Hey, JB, thanks for dropping by! Yes, it's really not that much worth of an upgrade, specially if you're a Canon user then you're gonna want the MM1 instead of the MM1+ for that louder gain!
Same here! Seeing the title of this vid, I thought I got a BYMM1 too soon. But nah, I'm good. 😁
@@markfriday for now, I just plug it in on my smartphone. My Canon 1200D doesn't support external mic input, that's why I can't use it on my camera. Canon G7X III is my target, just as I've seen from your review 🙂
@@markfriday so for my Canon M50 Mark II I should get the first mic not the + one
Not sure if this was answered but I believe why you can't monitor from a DSLR is because the microphone input on a camera doesn't output. On your phone it is a combo jack so it has input and output
Hey, Roean! You are somewhat right. It because phones can accept TRS + TRRS cables.
Nice video. But, I've connected the mm1+ to H5 (and later to Panasonic pro camera - ux90) via boya xlr pro adapter and the microphone does need power to work... not 48v phantom, but 3v attenuation (plugin) power.
Also, I tried it 30cm away and I did need to raise a gain to get the audio to 24-12db range.
Btw, you cannot monitor the audio as it is recorded onto the phone... only when the recording is played back. Maybe I need the right software, but i tried the phone's recorder and lexis audio editor. Didn't try it on the hybrid camera, like your gh panny or similar, though.
Did you connect it to a "Panasonic gh5" and noticed the problem with phantom 48v?
@@goto032492 I don't own gh5, but eng ux90 that has xlr inputs with switchable phantom power only. I didn't try direct phantom because I was afraid to damage the microphone but used xlr to 3.5 mm with plugin power adapter. On zoom H5 I used it in 3.5 input (on the xy mic module) with and without plugin/bias power. It worked only when the power was switched on.
Hi, Sbozinovic! Maybe it has something to do with the MM1+'s new jack format, the old MM1's camera cable was TRS to TRS but now on the MM1+, you can't use a TRS to TRS cable but the mic's end is TRRS and camera's is TRS.
Please let us know when you solve it!
@@markfriday I didn't own old mm1, so I don't know if it could work without plugin power. But every condenser microphone (including Rode videomicro) seems to need it at least for the pre amp. Personally, I've used condenser mics (lavaliers) with trrs jacks and adapters to trs and ts and they all needed some power... most of the time they had a battery compartment for a small lr44 or similar batt.
So, I think that there is nothing to solve with mm1+, it is just that type of the microphone and trrs jack seems to show that it is primarily oriented to phone videographers/ vloggers market 😉.
Hi Mark! Did you ever figure out why the headphone output doesn't work with a DSLR?
Hi, Sam, Boya just limited this feature to be used as monitoring playback audio on smartphones, they saved that good feature for monitoring audio on DSLR's on their more expensive microphones.
Hi Mark, I've GH5 like you.
Would you recommend me to take this MM1+, the Movo vxr10 pro, the Rode Videomicro or are they roughly the same?
Thank you
Hi, Chris, I tried the Movo VXR10 before but I didn't like the sound too much. For the GH5, I have been using the MM1+ a lot, it sounds very crispy and premium. So I definitely would recommend you to go for the MM1+.
@@markfriday Thanks Mark!
You convinced me.
👍
Does it work on fujifilm xa7
This may be a stupid question as this is my first microphone purchase. I just received mine and I'm a little confused by the black foam windscreen being inserted into the deadcat. Are they meant to be used one on top of the other like that and not separately?
Hi, Noah, did you get the Boya MM1 or MM1+? I don't think they come with a black foam windmuff but it you did get one then great! The furry windscreen is usually just used for outdoors and the black foam one is used for indoors for slight possible blows from ceiling fans etc. You don't need to use them both at the same time. By the way, please do consider subscribing, gonna be releasing more content like this in the coming days! Stay safe and take care!
Hi Mark, thanks for the reply, I have the MM1+ like in this video. So if you look closely at your deadcat, you’ll see that the black windmuff is actually stuffed inside it. I wouldn’t have noticed it except that I had read that it came with both so I was looking for it. Anyway, I pulled it out of the deadcat, which was pretty difficult, and now I have them separated. But the deadcat doesn’t really hold its form that well without the other black foam one stuffed inside it, it just seems too big for the microphone. So I’m just kinda confused if it’s even meant to be taken apart or not. Definitely seems like the black one can be used by itself, but it’s a pain to get it in and out of the deadcat. Would love to know what you think if you have a chance to inspect yours more closely.
And thanks for the video, subscribed!

Hello, if I plug speakers into the mic headphone jack, will it pick up the sound from the speakers?
Hey there! Sorry, but it won't. By the way, please subscribe and be part of this community!
My Boya (v1) mic is good when the camera is stationary, but it's not really good when vlogging and thus walking. Movement makes the mic create weird noises, maybe the mic's internal parts are moving also...
Hey there! It could be the vlogging rig that you are using with it. I have yet to have heard a problem about the internal parts moving and causing problems
@@markfriday hey Mark i have bought boya bymm1+, and i needed a extension aux cord(cable) so i bought it with same dual trrs jeck but it didn't work. can you please tell me a right aux cable for mm1+ like specific company or brand which is competible and working properly with mm1+

hi! why there is loud humming noise in the video? is it from mic?

Hi bro. Am from India tell me which one gonna better. For phone vlogging mm1 or mm1+

Hello Mark. I just bought the MM1 but I have a problem. When i conect it to my Nikon D3200 it just doesnt work. I tried all the cable combinations but it does not get the audio signal to the camera. Do you know what might be the problem? Did a pick the wrong mic?
The camera has a stansard 3.5mm conector. Im confused :( but i´d love to hear if maybe you hace any idea of what the problem might be. I have used cheaper cable mics with the camera and they work just fine. Thank you in advance if you happen to find the time to answer this.
Nice review BTW
I don't know aboout mm1 but mm1+ needs "plugin power" of 3v to work. Does your camera provides that power through microphone input?
I'm sorry, I just saw on Rode site that d3200 has plug-in power over mic input.
@@sbozinovic where did you find that information? Or was it from your own testing? Just wondering if you possibly got a bad unit?
@@goto032492 Information on the camera mic jacks i found on the Rode site : rode.com/blog/all/Guide-to-Powering-Your-Video-Mic
@@goto032492 the microphone I tested on my zoom H5, panasonic ag-ux90 and blackmagic pocket 4k. Could be that I got the bad unit, but it is an condenser mic and it does work when connected to plugin power, so I just concluded that the info on the boya site (that everyone else is citing) is a bit pumped up for promotion... I would like to hear if anyone else tested the microphone. Looking at the info from Rode site / blog it looks like a major number of cameras supply plugin power but I'd like to hear from those who own one that doesn't.

ua-cam.com/video/TnC70Ed3aqo/v-deo.html
You can’t make it work on the M50, because it is essentially a headset adapter for smartphones. It needs a TRRS connection. It works like this: The line out of the Boya gets into the smartphone, the smartphone processes the sound and sends the output back through the cable into the headphone jack of the Boya. The M50 can’t do this.
Is it me or do they sound identical? :3
I think it's Fake boya mic.
The qr code for real boya mic is different.
There is no noticeable difference.

Hi, Josie! How are you doing! Didn't see you for a long time!

BTW people, louder microphones aren't better. Louder means lower impedance. Lower impedances means more interference noise when amplifying the input, because you amplify the interferences which induce easier in lower impedance wires. The Rhode is definitely a better microphone, if you were able to amplify it at the same volume as the Boya, you'd know immediately which is crispier and less noisy. This fact is also true for headphones and any analog sound circuitry.
