Microfoon RØDE Lavalier zwart

The RØDE Lavalier Black is a discreet wired lapel microphone designed to deliver broadcast-quality audio in close-miked applications. It features a compact black capsule on a 1.2 m shielded, detachable Kevlar®-reinforced cable and offers a frequency response of 60–18,000 Hz with a sensitivity of -33.5 dB, making it suitable for film, television, theatre, houses of worship and portable recording.

Advantages

The Lavalier has low self-noise and an omnidirectional polar pattern for natural pickup. Its Kevlar®-reinforced cable has been strain-tested to 10 kg for reliable performance, and the MiCon™ connector system enables compatibility with a wide range of wireless transmitters, consoles, cameras and portable recorders. Included accessories — mini-furry windshield, cable management clips and a water-resistant anti-trauma case — protect the microphone and help minimise visibility during use.

How to use

Place the capsule close to the speaker (typically on the lapel or collar) while avoiding direct rubbing against fabric or jewelry to prevent handling noise.

Recommendations

For best results, check connector compatibility before use, perform a sound check to set levels, and store the microphone with the cable coiled inside the supplied water-resistant case to protect the capsule and accessories.
