Rode SmartLav Plus Lavalier Condenser Microphone
Broadcast quality, professional-grade lavalier microphone with TRRS jack that is designed for use in a wide range of film, television and broadcast scenarios, or wherever broadcast quality audio is required in a discreet, portable format without the complication and expense of additional wireless equipment. The user can simply mount the microphone on the talent, connect it to a smartphone or tablet headset jack and records via the RØDE Rec app for iOS, or any other audio app of their choice. The RØDE Rec turns the user’s iOS device into a fully-featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalisation presets to suit various recording situations, in addition to professional editing functions and the ability to publish to SoundCloud and Dropbox direct from the app. By employing a professional quality omni-directional condenser 0.10” capsule the microphone picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, allowing for versatility when mounting and ensuring a high degree of user-friendly operation. A foam pop shield is supplied to minimise wind noise and vocal plosives (hard ‘b’, ‘t’ and ‘p’ sounds), as well as a durable mounting clip with in-built cable management. Its Kevlar reinforced cable ensures that user will never stretch or snap it under normal usage conditions. Frequency range: 60 Hz-18 kHz. Output impedance: 3 Ohm. Maximum SPL: 110 dB SPL (@ 1 kHz, 1% THD into 1kOhm load). Maximum output level: 189 mV. Sensitivity: -35.0dB re 1 V/Pa (17.8 mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kHz. Equivalent noise level (A-weighted): 27 dB-A. Dimensions: 4.5 x 4.5 mm plus 1.18m long cable. Weight: 6 g.
Frequency Range: 60 Hz - 18 kHz
The frequency response 60 Hz - 18 kHz provides a wide enough range to capture all the fine musical and sonic details.
Polar Pattern: Omnidirectional
The omnidirectional microphone is designed to pick up sound equally from all directions. Unlike directional microphones such as cardioid or supercardioid, the omnidirectional microphone has no directional bias, which means it is equally sensitive to sound coming from the front, side, and rear.

Strengths
- Sound quality: Customers consistently praise the microphone for its excellent sound quality, especially for spoken word, interviews, and voiceovers for videos and presentations.
- Portability and design: The microphone is noted for its small size, light weight, and good build quality, often coming with a protective carrying case, making it convenient for on-the-go use.
- Smartphone compatibility: Many users find it works very well with iPhones, iPads, and other smartphones, often requiring an adapter for newer models without a 3.5mm jack.
- Value for money: Despite some finding the price a bit high, many customers believe the microphone offers good quality for its price, especially for its intended use.
Weaknesses
- Device compatibility: The microphone has inconsistent compatibility with certain devices like some Android phones, cameras, and specific audio recorders (e.g., Zoom H1n, Tascam DR-05), sometimes requiring specific settings or not working at all.
- Cable length: The cable is considered short by some users, necessitating an extension cable if the recording device is not kept close to the subject.
- Music recording: The microphone is not suitable for recording live music, as it is designed primarily for spoken word and performs poorly in this application.
