Flawless Audio for Every Shoot: Unleash the Power of AI-Powered Wireless Mics

If you’re a photographer or videographer, you know that clear audio matters just as much as great visuals. A reliable wireless microphone is a must-have for everything from weddings to reviews or behind-the-scenes shoots. At Red Dot Photo, we’ve been Singapore’s go-to for photography and audio gear since 2009. Today, we’re comparing two Boya options: the  Boyalink 3 AI-Powered 2-Person Wireless Microphone System and the Boyamic 2, which is known as the world’s first AI-powered mini wireless microphone.

Both mics use advanced AI noise cancellation, but each is designed for different needs. We’ll break down their features, specs, and performance, plus current pricing, to help you choose the best fit.


 

Meet the Boya Boyalink 3: Compact Power for Duo Recordings

The Boyalink 3 is great for creators who need two mics for interviews or vlogs. Each transmitter weighs just 9g, making it easy to use on the go. Its AI noise cancellation reduces background sounds by up to 40dB, so your audio stays clear even in busy places.

Some standout features are its 85dB signal-to-noise ratio for clear sound, automatic gain control, limiter, and a safety track to avoid distortion. You can record in mono or stereo, and the 2TX-4RX setup lets you connect up to eight devices—great for multi-camera shoots. The charging case gives you all-day battery life and can charge while you use it. With USB-C, Lightning, and 3.5mm TRS adapters, it works easily with DSLRs, smartphones, and computers.

You can get the Boyalink 3 at Red Dot Photo for SGD 179.00. It’s a budget-friendly way for photographers to start using AI-powered audio as they move into video work.

Introducing the Boya Boyamic 2: Your Professional Backup

If portability and backup reliability are your priorities, the Boya Boyamic 2 steps up as an ultra-mini dual-channel system. Weighing even less, this mic boasts the title of the world's first AI-powered mini wireless setup, with transmitters featuring magnetic clipping for easy attachment to clothing or gear. Its AI noise cancellation also hits 40dB, powered by deep neural networks for superior ambient noise filtering.

What truly sets the Boyamic 2 apart is its pro-grade 32-bit float onboard recording with 8GB internal storage per transmitter. This means you can record independently without the receiver, capturing distortion-free audio across a wide dynamic range (20Hz-20kHz). This is a game-changer for photographers in unpredictable field conditions, like outdoor shoots where signal dropouts might occur. The 90dB SNR delivers studio-quality sound, and the AMOLED touchscreen on the receiver offers intuitive controls via the Boya Central app. Battery life extends up to 54 hours with the charging case, and it supports up to eight devices in its 2TX-4RX configuration.

At SGD 269.00, the Boyamic 2 is a premium choice for those who value advanced features and a sleek, soundwave-inspired design, available at Red Dot Photo.
