The smartLav+ lapel microphone meets broadcast standards and is suitable for film, television, and similar applications, as well as for other areas that require a discreet recording system capable of capturing multiple people convincingly. The smartLav+ can be attached like a traditional lapel microphone and connected to a smartphone. For recording, RODE recommends the “RØDE Rec” app for iOS devices. With its omnidirectional pickup pattern, the smartLav+ delivers professional results even if it shifts during use. A windscreen to reduce wind noise and plosive sounds, as well as a sturdy clip with cable management, are included. The Kevlar-reinforced cable prevents damage that can occur from pinching or bending the cable. The smartLav+ can be used with any audio app that can record signals from the headphone jack. However, for maximum convenience, RODE recommends the “RØDE Rec” app for Apple iOS devices. “RØDE Rec” turns an iOS device into a versatile field recorder, offering numerous sound control settings, professional editing features, and the ability to publish directly.
