RODE SMARTLAV+ Microphone

RODE smartLav+ Lavalier Microphone for Smartphones and Cameras

The Rode smartLav+ is a professional-grade lavalier (clip-on) microphone designed for direct connection to smartphones and tablets using a 3.5 mm TRRS jack. This microphone is perfect for content creators, podcasters, journalists, and those who shoot video, aiming for better voice quality than integrated device microphones can offer.

The microphone features a high-quality condenser capsule with an omnidirectional polar pattern. The omnidirectional pattern ensures that sound is captured equally well from all directions, allowing the microphone to be clipped to clothing without worrying about direct aiming at the speaker's mouth. Additionally, the smartLav+ has a special Kevlar® reinforced cable, which increases durability and resistance to stretching. The microphone works effectively with all audio and video recording apps, and the RØDE Rec app provides additional features and editing capabilities.
