RØDELink LAV Professional Lavalier/Lapel Microphone with Locking Connector for Broadcast, Filmmaking, Content Creation, Location and Studio Voice Recordingc- Black

I have bought five of these over the years for use with Rode Wireless Go's. Reliable with good audio quality. I bought the white version this time as it was cheaper and sometimes useful if the talent is wearing a light coloured top.

Good

Great audio you get what you pay for

I have both this Rodelink Lav mic and the more expensive Rode Lavalier Microphone (that comes as a "kit"). If you're looking to use Rode's Lav mic's with XLR or the lockable TRS connector, then either Lav microphone will do the job. Yes you will need to purchase Rode's VXLR+ connector if you want to use this microphone with a XLR connection. The VXLR+ connection mates with the screw terminal of the Rodelink Lav mic and if that's what you want, you could simply leave it connected permanently (suggest attaching by turning the VXLR+ adapter onto the TRS connector, permitting the screw to lock without needing to twist the wire unnecessarily). The Rode Lavalier mic kit requires you to purchase the connector of choice as an additional purchase - regardless of which connection you want. It isn't usable out of the box until you do. This is fine if you DON'T want to use XLR or a TRS connection and need a special connection (hence the range of 4 additional connection options). But if you do want TRS or XLR, then you're left wondering what is the benefit of the Rode Lav mic kit that costs almost twice as much. Yes you get a pretty plastic shell instead of a PVC bag, and a few generally pointless extras. The XLR plug (Micon-5) doesn't fit in the kit case unless you remove/modify the shelf - a stupid design choice in my opinion. So you're probably wondering, is there any real difference between them. Looking at the lavalier mic end, there's barely any physical difference. They both have the same metal microphone tip and the foam windscreen is identical. The clip-on is basically the same design, the wires are both reinforced with kevlar. I'd wager that the Micon connector of the more expensive mic is more likely prone to damage than the lockable TRS connector here. Recording wise, having both connected to my Zoom H6 simultaneously (one L, one R), there is a very slight difference in sensitivity - this one being very slightly less sensitive. Posted specifications state this microphone has a signal to noise Ratio of 67 dB, vs 69 db for the Rode Lavalier Mic kit. This microphone has a frequency range of 20Hz – 20kHz, vs 60Hz - 18kHz on the Rode Lavalier Mic kit. Honestly for recording human voices, there's little in it, especially when using a good sound recorder. Incidentally the specifications for Rode's GO lav mic's are identical to this one (but simply missing the locking screw on the TRS connector). Microphones registered through Rode's website get an extended warranty- 2 years for this mic vs 5 years for the more expensive lav mic kit. Numerous users of the Rode Lavalier Mic kit report permanently damaging the microphone cord by trapping it in the case. That won't happen with the bag supplied here. This microphone was meant to provide a replacement for the one supplied with the Rode Videomaker kit, but you certainly don't need the kit. You simply need any sound recording device that can supply power (between 12V and 48V phantom power through a VXLR+, or plug-in power, all will work). Unless you're using a connection other than TRS or XLR, then this is IMHO a much better choice - and you can often pick up two of these for the price of one lav kit. If you don't need a specialised connection, you might as well save yourself the money. A last note of caution: the locking screw can come off, so be careful not to lose it.

This is a fairly cheap Lavalier but it works brilliantly with teh Wireless Go II transmitters. being white it helps when miking up brides or those wearing anything other than black.

What an awesome bit of kit. I bought it to go with my Rode 2 wireless set and the sound quality is amazing. So happy with this

I have bought 2 of them. Both stopped working. First they start braking, then stopped working. The problem is the quality and the thickness of the wire. Don't buy! Save yourself money and problems.

This was the second one of these superb Rode lav mic's I have purchased. Having use one I knew just how good these Rode mic's are .. Buying a second one was a no brainer.

I bought it for using it as an external mic for my Nikon DSLR 5600. Few tips are here for you: 1. If you use it directly with inbuilt settings in your camera, it is going to grasp every sound around you and the recording will be noisy. Go to settings in the camera and reduce mic sensitivity to 7 or 8 level (maximum limit available is 20). Now the recording is crystal clear and it avoids all surrounding noises like a cardioid mic. 2. When I wanted to use it as an external mic for my android phone, it didn't function because this had TRS pin whereas our Android phones accept only TRRS pins. So I bought a splitter (Halfknot headphone splitter, which is available in Amazon) and connected it to my android phone through the splitter using it as a TRS to TRRS adapter. Now it functions as external mic for my phone and the clarity is excellent. Rode SC4 is a TRS to TRRS adapter - you can use that as well if available ( I bought it at bajaao) 3. Some of the Android phones may not use external mic for recording by default. In that case you may download an app named "Open camera" from Google play store. Open the app-->go to video settings->audio source -> and select external mic (if present) option. Now your external mic will be used as audio source for any recording through any audio recording app. 4. If you want an external mic only for your Android phone (and not for DSLR camera), then you can buy Rode smart lavalier plus which has TRRS pin by default. And If you want to use that for a camera as well, you have to buy a TRRS to TRS adapter (like RODE SC3 adapter).

bought this with the intent for the bride to wear it. We ended up hanging it from the arch/arbour above and hiding it the flowers instead - it was basically invisible.

Eine große Hilfe bei Online-Yogakursen. Funktioniert super und ist gut verarbeitet. Eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zum Rhode Mikrofon.

This is a really nice mic. The sound quality is very good and I use it with a Rode VLXR+ to plug into my mixer or audio interface which provides phantom power, to convert it to plug in power for the Rodelink lav. The cable is only long enough to give you a couple extra feet after feeding it through your shirt, but you can plug the VXLR+ into an XLR cable to give you more length. The mic does work without plug in power but it is VERY quiet and turning it up to acceptable levels causes a lot of noise.
