Mounting lavalier microphones discreetly and securely is a fundamental necessity in the fields of film, television, and theater sound production. Recognizing this crucial need, The Lav Concealer emerges as an innovative solution designed to ease the challenges of mic concealment. Compatible with an array of popular microphones—including models from Sanken, DPA Microphones, Countryman, RØDE, Deity, Sony, and Sennheiser—The Lav Concealer is a versatile tool that ensures your lav mic remains unseen while delivering crystal-clear audio. The Lav Concealer is tailored for each microphone model to provide a snug fit, minimizing its footprint while enhancing the microphone’s natural sound. The design encompasses a soft, pliable organic rubber mount, which adapts to the contours of the body or clothing, offering numerous mounting possibilities. The material’s inherent flexibility not only allows for seamless integration into costumes and outfits but also serves as a shock absorber, isolating the microphone capsule from vibrations and ambient noise. This product is not only efficient in its function but also comes equipped with carefully designed metal guards. These guards serve a pivotal role in reducing friction noise, ensuring that such disturbances do not reach the microphone capsule, thereby maintaining the integrity of the recorded sound. The Lav Concealer package features two types of fabric guards: Wire Fabric Guards: These are detachable and prevent fabric from contacting the microphone capsule directly. The synergy between the wire and the rubber materials is outstanding, offering superior friction absorption and significantly reducing the transmission of noise to the mic capsule. Extreme Fabric Guard: A novel inclusion, this guard shifts the contact point between the fabric and the guard to a central position atop The Lav Concealer. This is particularly useful when dealing with garments made of coarse or noisy materials. For even more challenging scenarios, both fabric guards can be utilized concurrently, providing an alternative to the conventional clothing clip. The versatility of The Lav Concealer is further emphasized by its mounting options. It can be clipped, taped, or sewn onto clothing, providing sound technicians with a plethora of choices to secure the microphone quickly and effectively, often in the fast-paced environment of a set. Environmentally conscious, The Lav Concealer is crafted from 100% natural rubber, making it a biodegradable choice that is as kind to the planet as it is to your production’s sound quality. The dyes used in the black and white versions are free from harmful chemical compounds, underscoring the commitment to sustainability. The Lav Concealer is designed to be adaptive to your specific mounting needs. Both the clothing clip and fabric guards are detachable, offering the flexibility to mount them on any side of the concealer. For optimal configuration, you can employ tape to affix the concealer, placing the Extreme fabric guard on top and the regular fabric guard beneath, effectively lifting the fabric away from the entire surface of The Lav Concealer.
