Lapel / Lavalier Radio Microphone Systems

Using a lapel or lavalier microphone can often be a great solution for many situations, most commonly used for speech-based events, however they can be utilised in a number of different ways such as live performances, or for capturing audio for film. These microphones can be clipped on to the performer or speaker’s clothing discretely and have wireless transmitters, allowing you to get close proximity to the sound source unobtrusively and as such they are perfect for any situation where the use of a handheld microphone may be distracting or unwanted. Working in the same way as the wireless handheld microphones these set ups involve a small, capsuled microphone which is clipped onto a piece of clothing with a body pack which acts as the transmitter and sends the audio to a receiver ready to be mixed or recorded.

There are a number of advantages when using a lav mic, firstly they are often omni-directional (360 degree of pick up, capturing sound from every direction), which is perfect for a number of situations such as live theatre performances or table discussions, as they can pick up not just only the speaker but those around them, giving any project a sense of atmosphere. Secondly, they are very sensitive and have a large dynamic range so they can pick up audio even if someone is speaking at a low volume. Finally, these microphones are very easy to hide and are cordless, giving the artist a great deal of freedom to move around, and removing any on-stage clutter, and reducing distractions from audience members.
