Microphones for Location Sound

With our great selection, you can find microphones with varying sound pickup patterns, ranging from very wide (omnidirectional) to very tight (super cardioid) and anywhere in between. Lavalier mics - often referred to as "lavs" or "lapel mics" - are attached to a lapel or tie by clip or pin. They provide omnidirectional or unidirectional sound pickup. Soundmen typically prefer lavaliers as small as possible, as they are easier to hide. Since soundmen are often required to carry multiple types of mics to address various sound problems, smaller lavs make carrying and storage simpler. Shotgun mics are used for longer reach when the sound source is further away or to isolate a talent's voice from background noise using a boompole.
