If you have not heard of Boya before, you have something in common with me (Kevin).
That is why Lee is taking the lead with the hot off the press, just launched microphone gear. Our resident movie maker is my go-to to decipher these gear.
For transparency, DRN received the Boyamic 2 and Boyalink 3 ahead of the launch date. One of the units took the scenic route via Austria but we managed to get them with time to test before the launch.
Check out his hands-on breakdowns below. Spoiler: one of these mics seriously punches above its price tag.
