RODE smartLav+ with vampire clip and extension cable

The RODE smartLav+ is an improvement on the original RODE smartLav. Designed with better sensitivity and an improved signal-to-noise performance, the smartLav+ is an inexpensive professional recording microphone.

The smartLav+ is a professional-grade wearable microphone designed for use in a wide range of film, television and broadcast scenarios, or wherever professional quality audio is required in a discreet, portable format without the complication and expense of additional wireless equipment. With the smartLav+ the user simply mounts the microphone on the talent, connects it to a smartphone or tablet headset jack and records via the RËœDE Rec app for iOS, or any other audio app of their choice. With the addition of the optional RODE SC3 adapter cable (not included), the smartLav+ can also record directly to a wide variety of recorders and cameras with a normal stereo 1/8" mic input.

By using a high quality omni-directional condenser capsule the smartLav+ picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, allowing for versatility when mounting and ensuring a high degree of user-friendly operation.

A foam pop shield is supplied 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 compatible with any audio app that accepts input from the headset connection, however it has been designed to work with RËœDE's RËœDE Rec app for Apple iOS devices. RËœDE Rec turns the user's iOS device into a fully-featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalisation presets to suit various recording situations.

The vampire clip is a double-toothed clothing pin that conveniently fastens the smartLav+ microphone onto a wide range of fabric and clothing for complete mounting versatility.

The included TRRS cable extends the cable length of the microphone by 6.4 feet (2 meters).
