Listen "075 - Rode Smart Lav Plus"
Episode Synopsis
The Rode Smart Lav Plus is a lavalier mic that plugs straight into a smartphone. Learn the advantage of this and how I plan to use lav mics with my Zoom H6 digital recorder to enhance my field interviewing setup.
The 3.5mm to XLR adaptor and phantom power to plug-in power convertor is the Rode VXLR Pro (make sure you get the Pro)
EDIT - I picked up a lot of RF interference on this recording. That's not got for a mic designed for phones! I'm going to test this further and I'll update if this mic is prone to RF. You will not hear the noise since Auphonic cleaned it all up. But it should not be there in the first place. Sigh...
