The new Røde Lavalier II was designed to be a premium lavalier microphone option for high-quality audio applications, even though we will see it being used in many different content creation applications. As the Australian company highlights, the Lavalier II was specified as a broadcast-grade microphone with flat frequency response and omnidirectional polar pattern, ready to compete with the market references in that domain.
Key features for this new lavalier design include an ultra-compact mounting clip – incredibly discreet and easy to conceal – using a simple 3.5mm TRS locking connector, which makes it compatible with a vast range of systems. And Røde also designed a premium accessory kit that includes a pop filter, mini furry windshield, mounting clip, colored ID rings and zip case, that increase the value of the new Røde Lavalier II.
The very low-profile design sets it apart from all other lavalier microphones and highlights the state-of-the-art capsule technology and unique form factor that allows the Lavalier II to sit flush against clothing and other mounting surfaces. This makes it incredibly discreet, giving users more freedom and versatility when mic’ing up themselves or talent. The innovative mounting clip and flat cable also makes the system even more unobtrusive, making threading it through clothing a breeze.
According to Røde, the Lavalier II delivers a very flat frequency response and will capture rich, detailed audio with incredibly low noise. "Its omnidirectional polar pattern picks up crystal-clear sound from all directions, meaning the Lavalier II is very forgiving when it comes to placement," the company states. "The Lavalier II offers outstanding performance for everything from broadcast applications and filmmaking to content creation, livestreaming and even podcasting. It pairs perfectly with a wide variety of audio devices, including the hugely popular Røde Wireless GO II and newly released AI-Micro, and features a 3.5mm locking connector for use with professional wireless microphone systems," they add.
The Røde Lavalier II includes a high-quality pop filter and mini furry windshield for recording outdoors, the compact mounting clip (which includes easy cable management slots), a set of colored identification rings for keeping track of microphones in multi-mic setups, and a handy zip case for keeping the Lavalier II and accessories safe, neat and organized.
