INTRODUCTION

Thank you for investing in the Lavalier microphone.

has your needs covered with the reliable and discreet Lavalier.

Featuring the pure, clear audio and low handling noise that

is celebrated for, the Lavalier is built to deliver and

to last.

The included water resistant pop ﬁlter and mini-furry for

high wind protection ensure quality recordings in adverse

environments, while the anti-trauma water resistant case

provides rugged and secure protection for the microphone,

cable and accessories.

Knowing that versatility is paramount in any product, we at

which provides seamless integration between the Lavalier

and a wide range of wireless systems.

MIC PLACEMENT

- 8 -

For the best performance, the Lavalier microphone should

be positioned as close as possible to the sound source,

without being subject to clothing rustle, gusts of air or dust.

Also ensure the mic is pointed as much as is convenient

towards the user’s mouth.

At times it may be best to test different placements to

provide the optimal combination of sound quality and

discretion.

Position the microphone close to the sound source

FITTING AND CABLING

- 9 -

To ﬁt your Lavalier onto clothing and connect to your

wireless system, ﬁrst securely fasten one end of your

MiCon™ cable to the Lavalier. The RØDE spanner can assist

you in this assembly.

Next, mount the Lavalier into the provided lapel clip. Hold

the clip between two ﬁngers, with one ﬁnger pressing down

on the end of the wire loop. This will create enough leeway

to insert your Lavalier through the wire.

Screw the microphone to your MiCon™ Cable

Press open the wire loop on the lapel clip

FITTING AND CABLING

- 10 -

Rest the mic in the loop so that the wire encircles one of the

grooves on the mic’s body. Once you ease off your grip on

the wire, the microphone will be held securely in place.

To prevent tangling, clip the cable into the groove on

the lapel clip. Then the clip is ready to be attached to an

appropriate part of the user’s clothing.

Rest the microphone in the wire loop and release wire

Clip the cable into the groove in your lapel clip
