Have your own podcast? Host a YouTube channel where you regularly interview people on the street? Want the opportunity to record candid conversations and get those on-camera moments anywhere? Everybody knows you need a good camera for those moments, but these days, you can really just use your phone. For audio, however, you shouldn’t compromise. You need good, clear audio that’s a solid representation of whoever is talking. And the best way to capture that is with a pro-grade mic. But you can’t just carry a full-sized microphone with you everywhere you go. That’s where MAXTOP’s portable microphones come into play.
The MAXTOP SoundGuard AP003, for example, or the MAXTOP SonicSync Pro AP003, are both wireless-enabled pro-grade microphones you can take and use anywhere. But before we get into the specifications and stats, you should know they’re on sale right now. Both are over 40% off, until December 4.

The dual mic pickup can capture voices from up to 120 meters away with 360 degrees of sound receiving possible.
The two mics also come with a 3-in-1 universal receiver that connects to mobile devices, cameras, and laptop or desktop computers. So, what can you do with mics like this? Imagine teaching a class, online or in person, with the mic attached to your collar. Your voice will be clear and audible to all. Or, giving a presentation in a conference room or at a venue.

The best TVs should look great, sound fantastic, and feature numerous optimizations for the types of content people love watching most.
