Product Information
Full details
The RØDE Lavalier is a professional-grade, omni-directional condenser microphone tailored for filmmakers, broadcast professionals, and theater performers who require high-quality, discreet audio capture. Its primary benefit is providing broadcast-level clarity while remaining virtually invisible, though users should note that the necessary MiCon connector for specific wireless systems must be purchased separately.

FAQs
Does the RØDE Lavalier come with a wireless transmitter?
No, this is a wired microphone that requires a compatible MiCon connector to interface with your specific wireless bodypack or audio device.
Can I use this microphone for outdoor filming?
Yes, it includes a mini-furry wind shield designed to protect the capsule from wind noise during outdoor use.
What is the warranty coverage?
The product includes a 5-year warranty, consisting of 12 months of complete cover and an optional replacement microphone program.
Is the cable replaceable?
The cable is detachable from the connector, but it is an integral part of the microphone assembly. If the cable is damaged, please contact RØDE support.
How do I choose the right MiCon connector?
Identify the input type on your recording device (e.g., 3.5mm TRS, TA4F, etc.) and purchase the corresponding RØDE MiCon adapter.
Troubleshooting
No audio signal detected
Check that the MiCon connector is firmly seated and that the wireless transmitter is set to the correct input gain level.
Excessive noise or distortion
Ensure the wind shield is properly fitted if outdoors and verify that your preamp is not clipping the signal due to high sensitivity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your RØDE Lavalier, you must first attach the correct MiCon connector for your recording device (such as a bodypack transmitter, camera input, or console).
- Connection: Align the MiCon connector with the microphone cable and tighten securely.
- Placement: Use the provided cable management clips to secure the mic to clothing, leaving enough slack for natural neck movement.
- Maintenance: After use in humid or outdoor conditions, wipe the microphone and cable down with a clean, dry cloth. Store all components in the provided water-resistant case to prevent damage to the capsule.
- Storage: Avoid coiling the Kevlar cable too tightly to prevent long-term stress on the internal wiring.
