RODE SmartLav+

RØDE SmartLav+ – upgraded version of the original SmartLav, the world-renowned lavalier microphone designed for mobile recording on iOS and Android devices. Featuring an improved capsule with higher sensitivity and lower self-noise (27 dBA), it delivers broadcast-quality sound for interviews, vlogs, podcasts, and film production without the need for complex wireless systems.

The SmartLav+ connects directly to a smartphone or tablet via a 3.5 mm TRRS jack and can be used with the RØDE Rec app for professional recording and direct export to cloud platforms like Dropbox and SoundCloud. Its omnidirectional condenser capsule captures sound evenly from all directions, making it ideal for discreet placement on clothing or in mobile video setups.

Built to withstand everyday use, the SmartLav+ features a Kevlar®-reinforced cable that resists stretching and breaking. When paired with the optional RØDE SC3 adapter, it can also connect to standard TRS inputs found on cameras, recorders, and mixers, extending its versatility across production environments.
