When looking for a Hollyland LARK M2 replacement receiver in the Shine Charcoal finish, the specific type of receiver you need depends entirely on which recording setup you are trying to replace or expand. Because the LARK M2 family relies on a modular approach, Hollyland sells three distinct replacement receivers as individual spare parts.

How to Pair a New Spare Receiver to Your Existing Transmitters
If you purchase a single replacement receiver, it won't recognize your original button transmitters automatically out of the box. You will need to link them manually:
-
Clear out the system: Put your existing LARK M2 transmitters into pairing mode (press and hold the yellow button on the side of the transmitter until its LED flashes quickly).
-
Trigger the receiver:
-
For Mobile Receivers: Press and hold the physical button on the side of the plug-in dongle for 3 seconds until its indicator light flashes rapidly.
-
For the Camera Receiver: Access the pairing function or hold down the pairing utility shortcut button on the base setup.
-
-
Confirm the Lock: Once paired, the blinking lights on both components will change to a steady, solid green, confirming that the new receiver is successfully mapped to your microphones.
