| A lavalier mic is a less than ideal situation. Your voice project forward, yet the mic is straight down on your chest. So the mission is to get as much voice into the mic as possible. This will reduce the possibility of feedback squeals & let your voice be turned up louder. | |
 |
With the lav close to your throat like this, the sound from your voice has to make a U turn to be heard. You'll sound nasal & muffled. |
 |
With the mic this far off to the side, when you turn your head the other way, your voice level will decline considerably & you won't be heard. |
 |
With the lav this low your voice level will be very quiet. Sound decays rapidly with distance. |
 |
Same as with #2 above, when you turn your head your voice will disappear. |
 |
A mic picks up what's directly in front of it, and this mic is turned upside down (fuzzy side should be up). You'll hear almost nothing. Turning it up louder will just produce feedback. |
 |
A slightly better variation of the outer lapel, the inner lapel will still cause the voice level to decrease when you turn your head. |
 |
This is how a lavalier mic should be! |

My name is Lonnie Bedell, and I'm the guy behind AVLifesavers. Unlike big companies, I've been doing actual live sound work since 1995, and live recordings since 1985. |
|
It's that kind of real world experience that I feel makes AVLifesavers stand out. It's one thing to examine problems theoretically, it's a whole different thing to deal with frantic last minute changes from an inexperienced client who wants it done yesterday.
Been there, done that, so I've designed products to solve live sound problem fast. All products are assembled right here in the USA. Living Wages to American workers is and will always be part of the fabric here, despite the temptations.
