Rode SmartLav+
Lavalier Microphone for Smartphones
The smartLav+ is a broadcast-grade wearable microphone designed for use in a wide range of film, television and broadcast scenarios, or wherever broadcast quality audio is required in a discreet, portable format without the complication and expense of additional wireless equipment. With the smartLav+ the user simply mounts the microphone on the talent, connects it to a smartphone or tablet headset jack and records via the RØDE Rec app for iOS, or any other audio app of their choice.
By employing a professional quality omni-directional condenser capsule the smartLav+ picks up sound equally from all around the microphone, allowing for versatility when mounting and ensuring a high degree of user-friendly operation. A foam pop shield is supplied to minimise wind noise and vocal plosives (hard ‘b’, ‘t’ and ‘p’ sounds), as well as a durable mounting clip with in-built cable management. Its Kevlar reinforced cable ensures that you never stretch or snap your microphone under normal usage conditions.
The smartLav+ is compatible with any audio app that accepts input from the headset connection, however it has been designed to pair perfectly with RØDE’s RØDE Rec app for Apple iOS devices. RØDE Rec turns the user’s iOS device into a fully-featured field recorder, with a wide range of equalisation presets to suit various recording situations, in addition to professional editing functions and the ability to publish to SoundCloud and Dropbox direct from the app.

Fast forward over a year and well past its warranty, my Rode mic caught on my collar when I went to take it off and I tugged too hard on the cord which caused it to separate from the microphone itself and pretty much destroy the mic. I was bummed and immediately thought "There goes $79 bucks". But I emailed Rode and explained the situation and they responded within 24 hours and offered to send me a brand new mic free of charge. I now have my new mic, and I'll get back to recording and be a little more careful with my mic.
Thanks, Rode!
The last update the app recieved was probably over 5 years ago. It is entirely impossible to respect a company so negligent with their tools, regardless of whether they make good
microphones.
About the microphone itself, the cable is plenty long enough to connect to the smart-phone in my pocket and attach the microphone to my shirt. The build quality is great. The clip is very strong and you will not have to worry about the microphone getting detached from your shirt when using it. The microphone is small enough that most people probably will not notice it if you are on camera when streaming.
Tip; face the microphone upside down on your shirt to avoid the sound of you breathing when recording,
If you make videos or record podcasts (especially on the go), I can't recommend this mic enough. I should have bought it long ago. Makes a huge difference. You can honestly record using this mic alone on a cell phone using any recording app in a quiet environment and get solid results. If you are comfortable doing some basic sound editing and using very simple VST plug-ins, get the TNT Voice Executor plug-in from Audified and you will get results so good that the vast majority of people (not including audio pros) will be thoroughly impressed with your voiceover/audio.
I added the square trade insurance for a few bucks and I will keep the mic stored in the "pleather" bag that was in the package, so I'm hoping to get plenty of use out of these. Will update this review as needed.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. The difference this microphone makes is astounding. I haven't tried it for voice dictation yet, but I'm confident it will be overkill for that, since the inferior boom-mics I currently use already give me solid, reliable results. Bottom Line: If you're thinking about getting this, get it. No way you'll regret it.

C’est un microphone pour smartphone ou tablette. Il est compatible aux dispositif IOS et certains Android.
Vous pouvez retrouver toutes les compatibilités sur leur site officielle.
C’est donc un micro-cravate avec fiche TRRS, je vais pas rentrer dans le détail mais ça veut dire que l’embout, la prise est compatible uniquement sur les smartphone et tablette mais elle n’est pas compatible à l’entrée mini jack des caméras, ou des enregistreurs externes.
Pour ça il faudra s’équiper d’un adaptateur pour pouvoir brancher le SmartLav + à la prise TRS d’une caméra ou d’un enregistreur audio.
Personnellement j'ai acheté le "Rode SC3 Adaptateur pour Smartlav " vendu également par Rode.
Le micro est livré avec une bonnette antipop et vent, d’une pince de fixation et d’une pochette à l’effigie de rode pour ranger le micro.
Si vous avez un iphone, vous pouvez télécharger l’application Rode Rec, que le fabricant à crée pour pouvoir faciliter l’enregistrement. Tu peux visualiser l’onde sonore, régler le gain, le volume, ou directement couper et sélectionner la partie de l’enregistrement souhaitée.
N'aimant pas enregistrer du son avec un smartphone, j'utilise ce micro cravate avec le zoom h1. C'est le combo parfait, je peux ajuster le gain du micro, je peux écouter ma voix en direct avec la sortie casque, et le boitier peut tenir dans une poche.
Verdict : Le micro cravate fait un peu cher en comparaison d'autre micro cravate qu'on peut trouver à un 20€. Mais à la différence, c'est un produit de chez Rode, on est assuré d'une qualité et d'une durabilité dans le temps.
La première fois, j'avais acheté un micro cravate à 20€, et la comparaison, et le rapport gain/bruit est assez flagrant, j'aurai du directement investir dans le SmartLav+.
Je recommande ce produit.

Pour que vous puissiez bien voir de quoi il est capable, voici une petite video que j'ai faite, ou je commence l'enregistrement avec le micro de mon téléphone, et ensuite le micro RODE.
Directement compatible avec les smartphones grace à sa connectique TRRS.
Si vous avez trouvez mon commentaire utile n’hésitez pas a cliquer sur le OUI en bas du commentaire.
Et allez faire un petit tour sur mon profil pour voir mes autres tests ;)²

Rode's ridiculous focus on Apple environment is truly annoying through eyes of Smartlav+ user. It is dedicated to those of you that have old apple phone (yes they support old ones only-it is all about jack :) ) - Rode app (paid!) is available on IOS only £5.99 sic!). I know you can always find better apps on Android and usually free or for a fraction of IOS equivalent price (i bought Rec Forge II pro for just over £2, it was 'expensive one'. I must say that native app was doing the job well, but I always want to squeeze all juice from my devices. It is not an issue though, Rode does not recommend any particular one for android. Why? What is the point of having good product for obsolete mobile devices? I do not follow Rode's philosophy.
Box and package. It comes with basic cardboard box (no tech specs on it , but I'll talk about it later). Inside there is attached a quick guide... If you expected quick guide about the product, you would be surprised. It is all about mount clip. Yes. mount clip only. Nothing about using the mic. No tech specs, no characteristics of the mic, nothing but clip. You can straight away see that the product and its users are not treated seriously by the producer. All the time you get impression, you got cheap leftover from great Rode's true offer (btw it is in fact costly product and we pay quite a lot in it for branding - manufacturing eng guy perspective).
The only way to get more info about specs is on their website (at least that).

Since it is omni-directional condenser mic, you must be aware that it is capable of recording environment as you actually hear it. Remember you can learn to ignore some sounds, but microphone cannot. It will record your wall clock ticking , fridge, neighbours ... everything. Thus, you need app to cut off its sensitivity dramatically, so that it picks up only your voice and later you amplify it to suit your needs. It is not dynamic, nor one that focuses on one direction only mic-please check what you really need.
What annoys me is that they use meaningless phrases on the box, leaflet and adverts ('professional- grade', 'broadcast quality'... meaningless marketing only).
It is not pro grade product. But it is a high quality (sometimes too high) for beginners and above in audio/voice recording.
Cable length is ok (you get about 70cm of usable cable length, when excluding all necessary bends and loops) for average height person - you can hide your phone in front trousers pocket. I would not recommend it if you need to be further away from recording device (probably rare for such a basic product occasion, but have it in your mind before purchase), or if you are really tall and cannot hide phone in your jacket.
Free advice:
- always record in flight mode
-if on windows surface like device switch of system sound enhancements (recording device advanced properties settings).
-your phone or tablet or PC (if TRRS jack compatible) may see it as headset - you have to define it as recording device only and use other audio output (in some devices it is not that simple) for sound
To sum up, it is a very good microphone for its price, but only for people that spent some time setting up recording devices of are experienced in voice recording. If not- too expensive - you can get your results for less.
There is a lot of misleading marketing info (mainly from Rode itself) that could create unsupported expectations. Lack of any guidance or advice or app for users (the one for IOS can be ignored - supports devices that are not even manufactured anymore!).
Or buy it and play with it for a while - once you understood its properties, it will give you expected results... and will open your way for pro products :)

Wofür ich das Mikrofon einsetzte
Ich nutze das Rode smartLav+ Lavalier-Mikrofon sowohl an meinem iPhone als auch an meiner Canon EOS D70 zur Aufnahme von Interviews in YouTube-Videos. Für den Anschluss an die DSLR-Kamera verwende ich den Rode TRRS-auf-TRS-Adapter (4-polig auf 3-polig), da bei Smartphones oder Tablets in den meisten Fällen Mikrofon- und Kopfhörer über nur einen Klinkenstecker angeschlossen werden.
Wenn man nicht das in den Smartphone eingebaute Mikrofon nutzen möchte oder kann, gibt es natürlich viele Möglichkeiten zur Aufnahme von Audio in guter Qualität ... alle haben ihre Vor- und Nachteile.
Entfesselte Audio-Aufnahme
Wenn ich bei einem Video den Ton nicht kabel-gebunden aufnehmen möchte, weil ich beispielsweise zu weit von der Kamera entfernt bin oder mich viel bewege und ein Kabel dabei stören würde, dann ist die Aufnahme des Tons per Smartphone und smartLav+, im Vergleich zu den häufig genutzten Funklösungen, eine einfache und vergleichsweise kostengünstige Alternative, die eine sehr gute Tonqualität liefert.
Ich stecke das Mikrofon einfach irgendwo an der Kleidung fest, das iPhone in die Tasche und los geht's. Für die Aufnahme nutze ich übrigens die "Rode-Rec"-App! (kostet ca. 5€ im App Store) Nachteil ist natürlich, dass ich Audio und Video getrennt aufnehme und nachher beim Schneiden beides wieder synchron übereinander legen muss. Solange ich aber - wie bei Interviews - nur eine Audio-Spur habe, hält sich der Aufwand aber wirklich in Grenzen.
Kabelgebundene Audio-Aufnahme
Wer den Nachteil des "Zusammen-Schneidens" scheut und auch nicht über eine teure Funklösung verfügt, für den ist das Rode smartLav+ in Verbindung mit dem 4-poligen Rode SC1 Verlängerungskabel eine ebenfalls günstige Lösung. Entfernungen zwischen Kamera und Audio-Quelle von bis zu 6 Meter lassen sich so ohne problemlos überbrücken. Ich habe bei dieser Kabellänge keinerlei Qualitätsverlust oder Rauschen entdecken können. Aber Achtung: Du benötigst für den Anschluss an eine DSLR-Kamera (wie meine Canon EOS D70) den Rode TRRS-auf-TRS-Adapter, da die Mikrofon-Buchse an der Kamera nur TRS (3-polig) unterstützt.
Mein Fazit: Das Rode smartLav+ liefert gute bis sehr gute Ergebnisse bei einem ausgewogenen Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Wahrscheinlich wird es Mikrofone geben, die eine noch bessere Audio-Qualität liefern. Allerdings sind solche Mikrofone dann häufig für einen ganz anderen Einsatzfall gebaut worden (bspw. Richtmikrofone) und in der Regel wesentlich teurer. Für meinen Einsatzfall bin ich mehr als zufrieden.
Zum Einsatz an Android-Geräten habe ich leider keine Erfahrungen.
