Key Features and Benefits: Portable performance iRig Mic Lav gives you the power to record great sounding audio anytime and anywhere. Designed to meet the exacting demands of broadcast professionals, its omnidirectional condenser capsule lets you capture a 30 Hz - 16 kHz frequency range of crystal-clear audio from all directions. It comes with a foam pop filter to eliminate vocal plosives, wind noises and other unwanted sounds. And like all good lavalier microphones, it comes with a durable mounting clip that you can easy mount on a T-shirt, lapel or other material for dependable and secure hands-free recording. Just clip it on, and you'll be ready to go. Effortless monitoring Capturing great audio in the field requires more than just superior microphone technology. To get the best sound, you have to be able to monitor your source as its being recorded. Not all lavalier microphones come with on-board monitoring, but iRig Mic Lav does. In fact, among major brands, it's the first mobile lavalier microphone to offer this feature. It comes with a combo 1/8" TRRS port that can be used to output audio to your favorite pair of headphones. Just set the toggle switch next to the port to "monitor" and plug in your headphones, and you'll be on your way to recording effortlessly amazing audio. Chainable power There's a saying that goes something like, "two heads are better than one." The same can be said for microphones - when you're out in the field, sometimes you need to record more than one person. iRig Mic Lav lets you chain and record with up to two iRig Mic Lav's on the same device thanks to the same dual-purpose 1/8" TRRS port used for headphone monitoring. Simply set the toggle switch to "input," and then plug a second iRig Mic Lav in to record with two microphones. To monitor a dual iRig Mic Lav setup, you just need to set the switch on the second iRig Mic Lav's jack to "monitor," and then you'll be able to plug in your headphones. Go mobile You never know what mobile device you'll have accessible while you're out conducting that next heated interview or spontaneous video. This can be a problem if a microphone is specifically made for one type of device. Fortunately, you'll never have that problem when iRig Mic Lav is in your pocket. It outputs its sound via an analog 1/8" TRRS output jack, and it captures the same high-quality audio no matter whether it's plugged into an iPhone or an Android device with a compatible TRRS input jack compliant with the CTIA/AHJ wiring standard.
