Wireless lapel mics, also known as lavalier microphones, are beneficial for a host of situations in which improved sound quality is desired, such as video recording and even during work presentations.
These hands-free microphones come with several advantages: they are discreet in appearance, they improve the speaker’s vocal clarity, and they can be used for directionality, picking up sound from a particular direction.
They also enable the speaker to move around freely and maintain a more natural posture and body language.
That said, lapel mics are not ideal for recording ambient sound or for reaction shots that require fast, spontaneous recording due to their relatively lengthy setup requirements.
Nevertheless, they are relatively inexpensive and can improve the quality of audio across a variety of situations, making them a useful accessory for anyone to have.
