how to use the mount

RODE SmartLav Plus Lavalier Microphone - fig 3

  1. Insert the mic capsule into the wire loop
  2. Loosely loop the cord back up and through the inside of the clip
  3. Loop the cord back down and secure it in the cable management clip

This arrangement helps to minimise handling and mechanical noise and also minimises cable strain.

mounting mic on clothing

RODE SmartLav Plus Lavalier Microphone - fig 4Attach the mic to lapel or clothing, about 15-20cm / 6 inches from face.
Pro tip: Tape a loose loop in the mic cord on the inside of clothing. This gives you added strain relief and isolation from unwanted noise.

mic tips

Attach the smartLav+™ upside down to reduce excessive breath noises and tonal inconsistencies due to head movements.
It is safest to use the windshield at all times to avoid plosives and wind noise, even when recording inside.
