The Maono T5 Wave has stepped up to rival other mobile external microphones such as the Hollyland Lark M2 with similar specs packed into the same super-compact, almost button-like form-factor. It is backed to confer "studio-quality" audio on USB-C devices, older iPhones that still have Lightning ports, cameras or laptops, even in noisy or challenging environments. The mic is now available for a little less than its Hollyland rival at present.
