General Introduction
BOYA Magic is a transformable 2.4 GHz wireless microphone system, designed for flexible use across multiple scenarios. The lightweight and compact transmitter ensures portability, while the charging case not only stores the transmitters and receiver but also functions as a handheld microphone. When used with the BOYA desktop stand (sold separately), it can also serve as a desktop microphone. With its ease of operation, the BOYA Magic is ideal for content creation, live streaming, vlogging, mobile journalism, and much more.

The receiver features a USB-C charging port that supports simultaneous recording and charging of the mobile device. Each transmitter provides up to 6 hours of continuous use, and the charging case extends the total battery life up to 30 hours. It also allows you to recharge the transmitter anywhere, making the BOYA Magic highly portable and convenient for on-the-go use.

Microphone Charging Dock
Operation Guide
Charging the Transmitter/Receiver
Note: A USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A charging cable must be purchased separately.
If the purchased combo does not include a charging case, use the microphone charging dock. First, connect a USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A charging cable to the dock. Plug it into a power source. Then align the transmitter's charging contacts with the pins on the dock and bring them close. The magnetic force will attract the transmitter and start charging.
Pairing the Transmitters and Receiver
- The transmitter(s) will power on automatically when removed from the charging case.
- Plug the USB-C or Lightning receiver into the corresponding port on your mobile device.
- The transmitter(s) and receiver are pre-paired before leaving the factory. They will automatically pair once powered on. Their indicators will glow solid blue when the pairing is successful.
If they are disconnected, please follow the steps below:
- Press and hold the power button on the transmitter(s) for 5 seconds in shutdown mode until its indicator blinks blue quickly to enter pairing status.
- Press and hold the power button on the receiver for 5 seconds until its indicator blinks blue quickly to enter pairing status.
- The transmitter(s) and receiver are successfully paired when their indicators turn solid blue.
Pairing the Charging Case and Receiver
- Press and hold the power button on the charging case for 2 seconds to power the transmitter in the first slot on. Then plug the USB-C or Lightning receiver into your mobile device to begin use.
- The transmitter and receiver are pre-paired before leaving the factory. They will automatically pair once powered on. The TX1 status indicator on the charging case and the TX1 indicator on the receiver will glow solid blue when the pairing is successful.
If they are disconnected, you can remove the transmitter from the first slot and follow the pairing steps above (Refer to Pairing the Transmitters and Receiver for details). After successful pairing, place the TX1 back into the charging case and turn it on. The charging case can then be used as a handheld microphone or, when combined with the BOYA desktop stand (sold separately), as a desktop microphone.
Use Charging Case as a handheld microphone
Use Charging Case as a desktop microphone
Placing Transmitter
- Attach the fur windshield to the transmitter(s), or attach the foam windscreen or fur windshield to the charging case when using the products outdoors or in a windy environment.
- The transmitter can be directly attached to clothing via its magnetic clip, or using with the magnet, offering users greater flexibility when wearing the transmitter.
Using with a Mobile Device
- Plug the USB-C or Lightning receiver into the corresponding port on your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device.
- Launch the BOYA Central app or another recording app to start recording. If the app is compatible, please select the external microphone (BOYA Magic).
Using with a Camera
Use the 3.5 mm TRS to TRS audio cable to connect the receiver's 3.5 mm audio output jack to a camera, mixer, and other devices. The audio captured by the transmitter will be transmitted to the connected device.
Tips
- It is recommended to record a sample and play it back to check if the audio level is acceptable before recording.
- In order to improve the recording effect in a noisy environment, it is recommended to press the power button on the transmitter(s) or charging case to enable noise cancellation (this function will be enabled or disabled simultaneously on both transmitters).
- After recording, put the transmitter(s) and receiver back into the case for charging and storing.
NOTE: Due to 2.4 GHz wireless frequency, signal can be easily attenuated. Please try to avoid obstacles, such as walls and buildings, and avoid close proximity to devices with 2.4 GHz signal, such as high-power Wi-Fi antennas, radios, etc.
App Information
Download the BOYA Central app by scanning the QR code or searching "BOYA Central" in your app store. Once the BOYA Magic is connected to your smartphone via the Lightning receiver or USB-C receiver, you can use the app to check battery and input levels, adjust microphone gain, noise cancellation, and recording mode, and perform firmware upgrades—all to enhance your recording experience.
Note: Requires iOS 15.6 or later, Android 7.0 or later.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems when using the unit, please refer to the following checklist first. If the problem cannot be solved, please contact the dealer's after-sales service department.
The transmitter(s) can not pair with the receiver
- For Lightning or USB-C receivers: ensure the transmitter(s) is/are turned off and connect the receiver to your mobile device.
- For 3.5 mm TRS receivers: ensure both the transmitter(s) and receiver are turned off.
- Then press and hold the power buttons on both the transmitter(s) and receiver for about 5 seconds, until their indicators blink blue quickly to pair again.
The charging case can not pair with the receiver
- When using the charging case as a handheld or desktop microphone, ensure the microphone is placed in the first slot.
- If the microphone is already in the first slot but cannot connect to the receiver, remove it and re-pair it following the steps about "Pairing the Transmitter(s) and Receiver".
Operating range is limited, sound changes, or noise appears
- Make sure there is no interference from high-power wireless routers or devices in your recording environment. If the recording environment can't be changed, you need to find the optimal distance and angle for recording.
- Due to 2.4 GHz wireless frequency, signal can be easily attenuated. Please try to avoid obstacles, such as walls and buildings, and avoid close proximity to devices with 2.4 GHz signal, such as high-power Wi-Fi antennas, radios, etc.
- Make sure the receiver is well connected to your device properly.
The transmitter(s) or the receiver doesn't power on
If the battery is completely depleted because the transmitter(s) or the receiver has not been used for a long time, charge it.
Charging case can't charge the transmitter(s)
- If the remaining charge of the charging case is too low, please recharge the case and try again.
- Wipe the charging contacts on the transmitter(s), and charging pins in the case with a clean cloth. Make sure there is no dirt covering them.
- If the charging contacts and pins are not firmly connected due to insufficient magnetic force, please contact BOYA after-sales support.
