What is the difference between a lavalier and lapel mic?
A lavalier and a lapel microphone essentially refer to the same type of microphone. These are small, discreet microphones typically clipped to the clothing near the speaker’s mouth. The terms “lavalier” and “lapel” are often used interchangeably. However, “lavalier” can sometimes refer to more types of body-worn mics, including those used over the ear or on the hairline.
Can you use a lavalier microphone for gaming?
Unless you need to hide the microphone, a lavalier microphone isn’t your best option while gaming. Check out our full guide of the best gaming microphones to see what you should get instead.
How do I connect a lavalier microphone to a DSLR camera?
Most cameras have a 3.5mm input. If you buy a lavalier microphone with a 3.5mm connector, you can then plug the lavalier cable directly into the camera. You can also use a transmitter and receiver to send audio from your microphone to your camera wirelessly.
What are the best high quality professional lavalier mics that I should buy. I’ve heard Shure is an excellent brand, but I could be wrong. Thank you so much for your time 🙏🏾.
Hi, I'm looking for a lavalier mirophone to do lectures on Zoom to students. I've searched on Amazon and have found some good ones that only seem to be compatible with Iphones or Macs. The Computer this would be used on would be a Microsoft PC. Just looking for a solid Lavalier that will connect to the PC and get a dencent sound when speaking through a mask. thanks!
I want to record good vocals for my outdoor videos (Fishing, Camping, Hiking, etc.). I invested in a Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun mic, thinking this would be the trick, but it still captures way too much ambient noise. Even with an Auray WSS Series Professional Windshield, it can't handle anything more than a slight breeze without picking up wind noise interference. So now I am looking at Lavalier mics.
I need two mics because I will be working with my wife. My total budget for both mics is $300. The most important thing to me is the quality of the vocals. I want clear, full-bodied vocals with no ambient background noise. For example, say my wife and I are shooting in a restaurant. I have seen many YouTubers make videos in a restaurant with clear vocals, and you cannot hear the other people talking around them. I just don't know how they are doing it.
There are tons of new products on the market in 2024, and I just have no idea where to look. I am wondering if I should go wireless with dual mics going into my camera or with on-body individual recorders and sync the audio in post?
Any advice is appreciated. TiA
