In the bustling production scene of Jakarta, Indonesia, Anggun Adi, better known as GoenRock, has carved out a reputation as a meticulous and forward-thinking director of photography. As the founder of YouRock Studio, his projects span commercial campaigns, corporate videos, and social media content. Whether working with brands or influencers, GoenRock’s mission is always the same: deliver cinematic visuals and crystal-clear audio, regardless of the environment.

That’s easier said than done—especially when your latest shoot takes place outdoors in West Java’s Tou Villas, surrounded by wind, crowds, and unpredictable ambient noise.

The Challenge: Outdoor Audio at Scale

The project was a 3-hour, live-recorded podcast and video shoot for social media, attended by around 35 people. The setting: an open-air villa in Cisarua, Bogor. Four speakers would be mic’d up for a fully wireless, multicam production, and the stakes were high.

With multiple cameras running Hollyland Mars 4K for video transmission, and an already crowded RF spectrum, the team needed a wireless audio solution that could not only deliver clean and uninterrupted sound, but also scale efficiently—without adding complexity or bulk to the setup.

Why GoenRock Chose the LARK Max 2

GoenRock discovered Hollyland at BIRTV Beijing back in 2018 and has since kept a close eye on the brand’s evolution. For this production, the LARK Max 2 stood out as a no-brainer.

What appealed most was the system’s ability to connect four transmitters to a single receiver, dramatically simplifying the rig and integration into a live switcher. It was a solution built for professionals who don’t want to compromise between reliability, portability, and performance.

But ease of use wasn’t the only factor. The LARK Max 2 had to earn its place under pressure—and it did.

Audio That Holds Its Ground

Even in the unpredictable outdoor conditions, the LARK Max 2 delivered exceptional clarity. GoenRock noted how the high-fidelity audio ensured that voices came through full and rich, cutting through background noise without sounding processed.

The built-in noise cancellation was another standout feature. Wind, audience murmurs, and nature’s soundtrack all threatened to overpower the dialogue—but didn’t. With the LARK Max 2, only the voices mattered.

And in a high-pressure environment, backup is essential. Thanks to internal recording on each transmitter, GoenRock had peace of mind knowing that even a momentary wireless hiccup wouldn’t cost him critical dialogue. “We didn’t lose a single word,” he said.

Designed for Demanding Creators

Long shoots are the norm in GoenRock’s world, so battery life can make or break a workflow. With extended battery performance, the LARK Max 2 supported the full session without any need to stop, recharge, or swap gear—freeing the crew to focus on capturing content rather than managing equipment.

The 32-bit float audio transmission was the final layer of confidence, offering dynamic range protection that handled soft-spoken guests and passionate speakers alike, without clipping or distortion.

Conclusion

In a production environment where there’s no time for second takes and no margin for error, GoenRock found in the LARK Max 2 a wireless microphone system that rises to the occasion. It wasn’t just a tool—it was a quiet enabler of success behind the scenes.

As the boundaries of content creation continue to blur—between indoor and outdoor, studio and social, small team and large crew—professionals like GoenRock need gear that adapts without compromise. With Hollyland’s LARK Max 2, he’s found just that.
