The smartLav+ Lavalier Condenser Microphone for Smartphone is a broadcast-grade wearable microphone designed for use in a wide range of applications, from the boardroom to the pulpit, the car to the classroom. The Rode smartLav+ uses a standard TRRS connection, which plugs directly into your smartphone or tablet's headset input. Compatible with the iPhone®, iPad® and iPod® touch, in addition to a wide range of TRRS devices.
By employing an omni-directional capsule that picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, the smartLav+ can be mounted in a variety of positions and orientations on the subject. The smartLav+ is supplied with a foam pop shield to minimize wind noise and vocal ‘plosives’ (hard ‘b’, ‘t’ and ‘p’ sounds), as well as a durable mounting clip with in-built cable management.
The smartLav is fully compatible with the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad Air, iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2, iPad mini, iPod touch (4th and 5th generation). The smartLav+ works with any audio app that accepts input from the headset connection, however it has been designed to pair perfectly with Rode’s Rec app for Apple iOS. Rode Rec turns your iOS device into a fully-featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalization presets to suit various recording situations.
