Joby, a global brand that is trusted and loved by content creators around the world had the ambition to enter the microphone market and create a product that could immediately pack a punch in an already competitive marketplace. To build on their in-house technical expertise and acoustic knowledge, Joby called on Smallfry to provide fresh insights, design support and engineering expertise to package their new and exciting technology into a product that was bold enough to lead the market whilst maintaining their brand values for products that are fun and easy to use.
The Result…
A premium microphone design that delivers professional sound quality without needing to be an audio expert, with features specifically designed to make it the perfect accessory for any emerging vlogger, storyteller or content creator.
Providing great results in a fun and appealing design that is simple and fun to use.
STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD
A premium microphone design that delivers professional sound quality without needing to be an audio expert, with features specifically designed to make it the perfect accessory for any emerging vlogger, storyteller or content creator. Providing great results in a fun and appealing design that is simple and fun to use.
ENGINEERED TO PERFORM
A robust design was crucial for a product that is mobile and on the go. No stranger to the bike park or beach, the equipment needed to be perfect for shooting run and gun regardless of its environment.
Working collaboratively with Joby Smallfry’s team of engineers and designers carefully considered materials, construction and manufacturing constraints to fit a huge range of features into the smallest package without compromising audio quality, style or usability. The patented Rycote lyre suspension system acoustically isolates the mic body from the mounting base to keep your track clear, crisp and bump free.
DESIGN THAT UNDERSTANDS ITS USERS
The Wavo Pro brings a carefully tailored feature-set to give great results without complex set-up, saving valuable time in post-production. A second mic input through the Wavo Pro pre-amp, active noise reduction, second safety track and a new sound management app means the Wavo Pro can challenge the best of the competition head on. Selfie and interview modes can be swiftly set-up to capture any scene as fast as it happens, and the plug and play nature means content creators can focus 100% on content not the equipment or environment.
