Introduction

The Lavalier II is a premium lavalier microphone that is ideal for the most demanding audio and video applications. It features a unique low-profile design with a flat capsule that is incredibly discreet. The included mounting clip is also extremely compact, making the Lavalier II much easier to conceal than standard lavaliers. It has a very flat frequency response that flatters all voice types, with an omnidirectional polar pattern that picks up crystal- clear, detailed audio from all directions. The Lavalier II also comes with a premium accessory kit featuring a high-quality pop filter and mini furry windshield, coloured identification rings, and a handy zip case.
