YC Onion KIWI Overview

By Photo’s Jordan Gallant Featuring two transmitters no larger than a coin, the Kiwi 2-Person Ultracompact Wireless Microphone System from YC Onion makes recording clear audio in interviews and vlogs a breeze. The Kiwi components are magnetic and fit together for easy transport. 3.5mm TRS and USB-C audio outputs on the receiver unit allow you to connect your camera or compatible smartphone. Both components can communicate from up to 164′ away via 2.4 GHz frequency with a 5 ms sound delay. Included with the system is a Lightning adapter and OFC charging cable for increased compatibility. Magnetic Component Design The entire Kiwi system secures to itself thanks to the magnetic attachment areas on each component. Included are various magnetic mounting components such as back clips, which attach the transmitters to your talent’s lapel or the receiver to the included smartphone clamp’s cold shoe slot. Wide Device Compatibility

• The receiver features a 3.5mm TRS audio output for connection to cameras as well as a 3.5mm TRS headphone port for simultaneous monitoring.
• If digital signals are what you require, the USB-C charging port doubles as an audio output when using the included adapters or OFC charging cable for connection to Android and iOS mobile devices.

Three Operating Modes Use the multi-function button on the transmitters to toggle between operating modes. Choose between original, noise cancelling, and reverb modes for improved audio capture in any scenario. Digital signal processing embedded within the Kiwi makes these modes possible. Simultaneous Device Charging Charge your receiver and smartphone simultaneously with your portable charger using the OFC charging cables included with the system. Both Lightning and USB-C versions add 4 additional hours of runtime to the Kiwi in just 15 minutes. Onboard Controls, LED Indicators Toggle the 5-levels of volume, one-click muting, and other functions using the receiver’s onboard controls. LED indicators on the components allow you to quickly see what mode you are recording in. Long Battery Life Internal rechargeable batteries in each component allow you to record all day on set. The receiver features a 280mAh battery which can run for 8 hours and the transmitters feature a 160mAh battery which can run for 11.5 hours. Using charging contacts, the transmitters can be charged via the receiver’s USB-C port in just 2 hours.
