The two transmitter units contain a 32-bit float onboard recorder with 8GB of built-in storage, enabling them to capture distortion-free sound across extreme volume ranges without the need to manually set or alter input levels. This feature is particularly useful when filming scenes where there are unpredictable sound levels. While the BoyaMic 2 kit has two transmitters and a receiver, it supports multi-transmitter and multi-receiver configurations up to 2TX-4RX, providing scalable options for solo operators using multi-cam setups for live streaming. With a 90dB signal-to-noise ratio, automatic gain control, limiter, safety backup track and a wireless range of up to 300 meters, the BoyaMic 2 promises to bring affordable studio-grade sound creators shooting on location. The BoyaMic 2 receiver has a vibrant screen showing the status of each microphone transmitter. The ... More kit also includes two Lavalier external mics. The second new Boya product launching today is the BoyaLink 3, a compact wireless microphone kit for content creators on a budget. While the BoyaMic 2 is aimed more at the professional market, BoyaLink 3 brings Boya's AI noise reduction technology to a wider audience with two transmitters and a single receiver. Built into both the button-sized microphone transmitters is the ability to capture 48kHz/24-bit audio with an 85dB signal-to-noise ratio and triple distortion protection. The Link 3 system is aimed at journalists, travel vloggers and casual streamers who want better quality audio but with the ease of plug-and-play simplicity.

Developed by the Boya Acoustic Algorithm Engineering Team after three years of research and more than 20,000 hours of deep learning on a database of over 700,000 real-time noise samples. Both the BoyaMic 2 and BoyaLink 3 can cut noise by up to 40dB. The result is a sound quality that offers content creators more professional audio capture that eliminates many of the usual challenges posed by unwanted ambient noise when shooting. Boya says that the launch of the BoyaMic 2 and BoyaLink 3 reflects the company's strategic focus on refining audio solutions for content creators. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the company has tweaked its product lineup to cater to both the growing technical demands of professional production and the accessibility and affordability needs of content creators on location.
