3 Assumptions About Lapel Microphones
⏰ Save yourself some time when recording your videos
🎤Lapel microphones are those little microphones about the size of your little fingernail that you clip onto your clothing
1️⃣ They have to be close to your mouth
- they don't
- in the middle of your sternum is perfect
2️⃣ They don’t work under your clothing
- they do
- there are limitations
- the material has to be regular weight or an open weave
- this won't work great under 100% waterproof rain jackets
- cotton works but some synthetics crackle a bit
- you can hide them under scarves and jacket lapels
- test locations for yourself
3️⃣ They have to point to your mouth
- they don’t
- they work equally well pointing any direction
- don't waste time wrestling to get them to point skyward
