Rode Lavalier

The Australian company Rode produces microphones, accessories and audio software. Products are known all over the world, thanks to a pleasant combination of quality and price. Lavalier lavalier microphone costs $250. Let's see why the manufacturer asks for such a considerable amount.

Design and equipment

The 12x5x5 mm stainless steel electret microphone weighing only 1g is protected by a waterproof foam pop filter and a fur cap. The device is fixed on clothing with a neat clip, and a detachable shielded cable with a length of 1.2 m provides compact carrying in a complete plastic case and guarantees trouble-free operation. The cable is equipped with a proprietary MiCon connector, which involves connecting any adapter(one of your choice is included in the kit, the rest can be purchased). This means that the microphone can be connected to any device, including mixing consoles, and wireless systems.

Working with sound

With -34dB sensitivity, Lavalier records clear sound with low noise levels. It handles well with quiet or, conversely, very loud sources, so it is successfully used where you need high sound quality and compactness — on stage, in a TV studio, large-scale outdoor events.

Rode Lavalier certainly deserves praise. It is versatile, well protected, ergonomic and definitely knows how to work with sound. The model is certainly interesting, and it is unlikely that Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic or Audio-Technica can find such a rich package bundle in the same price category.
