SmallRig 3467 Forevala L20 Lavalier Microphone

SmallRig 3467 Forevala L20 Lavalier Microphone – the name doesn’t do it justice

I don’t know where I came across such a simple name as the SmallRig 3467 Forevala L20 Lavalier Microphone, but fortunately the product itself is absolutely brilliant. It’s a miniature microphone designed for performers and interviewers. Unlike directional overhead microphones, which have to be kept out of shot, these can be conveniently hidden in plain sight. Lavalier microphones are a staple of public events and TV interviews. The microphone capsule fits easily into a pocket, and it features a foam pop filter that reduces plosives. Its omnidirectional pattern picks up sound from 360 degrees, and the condenser design provides a wide frequency response, resulting in clear, crisp sound.

The low-cut function attenuates and cuts frequencies below 200 Hz, ensuring high-quality recordings even in noisy environments. With the two-position gain control, you can adjust the gain from 0 dB to 10 dB, delivering detailed, distortion-free, broadcast-quality sound.

The material is a beautiful blend of leather and aluminium. It is highly resistant to wear and scratches. It is soft and supple, with a luxurious feel. It comes with a 5-metre insulated cable. The built-in polymer battery allows for up to 20 hours of continuous recording. A half-hour charge will keep you going for hours on end.
