I'm wondering if anyone has tried the Hollyland Lark M1 or M2 (or similar Hollyland models) with their guitar. I'm looking for a decent wireless mic with transmitter that is small enough to fit entirely inside the sound hole with no modification of my old custom-made-for-me Manuel de la Chica. I'm a pretty experienced woodworker (I worked at the Smithsonian in musical instrument repair) but I'm fairly clueless with tech; I can build a mount to fit inside but (1) I want the transmitter charging port and control buttons to remain accessible between the strings when mounted and (2) the receiver has to be compatible with most amps (for example, XLR, 1/4", USB-A, or 3.5mm input jacks on my Yamaha StagePas 600i), and (3) most important: NOT Bluetooth (because of the latency).
The Hollyland wireless mics seem to be intended for podcaster phone recording, but would they also work with typical amps? Some Hollyland receivers have USB and/or 3.5mm output). I'm trying to eliminate the wire attaching guitar to amp or beltpack and have it all completely invisible to the audience.
Tonal range might not be an issue: it should be reasonably correctable with an equalizer at the amp end so perfect replication of tonal nuance is less important for me than being heard against the dancer's feet. Thanks!

Thanks, Escribano. That's reassuring. Can I ask which model of Hollyland wireless mic you use? Have you ever tried using it with an amp rather than a phone?
BTW, I see you live in Italy. My wife and I lived in Naples for a few years -- way back in the 70's.
