Wireless lavalier microphone: These devices are designed to add supporting amplification to a speaker’s voice by using a small microphone clipped to the speaker’s clothing right beneath the voice box. The microphone is connected by short cable to a transmitter which can be clipped to a belt or kept in a pocket. These microphones are very sensitive which makes them great for helping to broadcast your voice in large auditoriums and provide better audio consistency when changing speaking direction. However the amplified volume level perceived by the user is usually not considered “loud’ like other microphones because feedback occurs due to the sensitivity. Consider it a supporting microphone with a moderate volume enhancement.

NOTE: Microphones require a PA system to function. If you are not in a space with a pre-existing sound system, you will need to rent a full PA system.

Plug the receiver into your sound system using the XLR cable and the power cord. Carefully place the microphone and clip in front of your voice box and right below your collar for best sound amplification.
