Lavalier Microphone (Lapel Mic)

Category: lifestyle

A small, hands-free wireless microphone that clips directly onto a presenter’s clothing.

Lavaliers provide mobility for speakers who prefer to walk across the stage during general or breakout sessions. They require careful frequency calibration by the audio engineer to minimize the risk of high-pitched audio feedback loops under loud PA speaker arrays.

Common Examples

• The audio tech securely attached a lavalier microphone to the director’s lapel before she stepped out onto the main stage.
• For highly dynamic speakers who move their heads frequently, a head-worn omnidirectional mic is safer than a standard lavalier.
