Saramonic LavMicro

The Thai company Saramonic specializes in the production of audio equipment for professional sound recording on Android and Apple devices. The LavMicro lavalier microphone is great for large venues. The price of the model is about $100.

For studios and outdoor areas

The microphone itself is small and light. A convenient clip allows you to wear it on clothes without constraint in movement, but a 6-metre cable can create certain problems. On the one hand, this is a real gift for those who need to work in a large area, on the other hand, the wire is thin and any carelessness can result in its breakage or damage.

The same can be said about the special block on the cable. In addition to the battery compartment, it also performs an on / off function, and is also equipped with a belt clip. At the same time, it weighs the entire structure up to 62 g, which is quite a lot for such a baby.

The microphone is powered by an LR44 battery, and the connection is via a standard mini Jack 3.5 mm plug and a Jack 6.35 mm adapter. This makes the device almost universal in terms of application, but it is still better to have a couple of batteries in stock.

Sound level

The omnidirectional microphone picks up sounds from all directions, and the high sensitivity of -32 dB makes it quite clear and legible even from a distance. At the same time, the speech turns out to be clear, the foam rubber filter protects the signal from interference — wind protection, and the lower threshold of the frequency range of 50 Hz eliminates excessive mumbling.

Saramonic LavMicro is widely used in cases where it is required to maintain the distance between the sound source and the receiving device without the use of a radio system. With it, you can record yourself on a camera or a camera mounted on a tripod. At the same time, the sound quality is quite suitable for broadcasts and videos.
