The smart Lav+ is a broadcast-grade wearable microphone designed for use in a wide range of film, television & broadcast scenarios, or wherever broadcast quality audio is required in a discreet, portable format without the complication & expense of additional wireless equipment. With the smart Lav+ the user simply mounts the microphone on the talent, connects it to a smartphone or tablet headset jack & records via the RØDE Rec app for i OS, or any other audio app of their choice. By employing a professional quality omni-directional condenser capsule the smart Lav+ picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, allowing for versatility when mounting & ensuring a high degree of user-friendly operation. A foam pop shield is supplied to minimise wind noise & vocal plosives (hard ‘b’, ‘t’ & ‘p’ sounds), as well as a durable mounting clip with in-built cable management. Its Kevlar® reinforced cable ensures that you never stretch or snap your microphone under normal usage conditions. The smart Lav+ is compatible with any audio app that accepts input from the headset connection, however it has been designed to pair perfectly with RØDE’s RØDE Rec app for Apple i OS devices. RØDE Rec turns the user’s i OS device into a fully-featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalisation presets to suit various recording situations, in addition to professional editing functions & the ability to publish to Sound Cloud & Dropbox direct from the app.
