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.

RØDE hates Amazon

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

So let me get this straight, RØDE. I purchased a microphone that bears all the marks of being a genuine smartLav+, right down to the leatherette case and etched company logo on the mic clip. But because I bought it from Amazon, you're not going to give me a one-year warranty? How many fingers am I holding up right now?

Great product and they stand by it 100%

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

I purchased the Rode mic after a few friends recommended it to me. It was my first lavalier mic so I didn't know what to expect but the sound quality was great and the app is simple but handy. It's surprising how much quality you can get out of such a tiny device.

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!

Don't waste your money - You need an app to make it work and the app doesn't work.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have never wrote a negative review like this before, but this microphone is a waste of money. To make it work, you need download Rode's app. Sadly, the app constantly freezes and it is so hard to manage when you are in front of a camera juggling a bunch of things. It is advertised as free, but you can't do much with the free version. You have to buy the app to be able to use it to use it to its full potential. So until they come up with a better app that works fast and easy to manage, I wouldn't buy this microphone.

App cost extra, and is also garbage

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Rode Rec app is unacceptable. It costs $6 first of all, and it has the most atrocious interface I've ever seen. Once you've recorded the audio file, you have to jump through many hoops to access it. Having to e-mail myself every single audio file is ridiculous, and that is the easiest option.

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.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I wanted a small microphone to use when I am live streaming from my iPhone to both Facebook and Periscope, something that would sound much better to the listener than the built-in microphone on my iPhone, this did the job perfectly! When I go back and watch my live streams before getting this Lav mic and I compare them to my current live streams with it, the difference is night and day.

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,

good hardware, bad software

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017

the actual microphone is very good quality for the price. The Rode Rec app, however, is awful. Countless times I have finished recording only to go into the app to realize that it decided to stop recording halfway through. Sometimes it won't upload it to dropbox/soundcloud and it becomes a wasted day

Yes. Unreal Audio Recordings From a Cell Phone.

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

This mic is unreal. If you record voice-overs for videos or podcasts or whatever, this allows you to do high-quality work on your cell phone, tablet, notebook, or possibly whatever device you use to record audio. I was a little skeptical because I figured my cell phone audio recording system might have several weak links, not just the microphone. Turns out the rest of the audio recording pipeline on my cellphone is reasonably solid, so using this microphone makes an astounding difference on my cell phone. And it makes outstanding recordings on my PC as well.

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.

Stopped working after the second use

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I purchased this to use on an iPhone 8+ (using a 3.5mm lightning adaptor). I tested it as soon as I received it using a mock interview inside my office. Native iPhone video, vs Shure MV-88 and then Rode SmartLav+ with extension cord and without. The Shure MV-88 was a big improvement, but the Rode was a CLEAR winner rendering excellent sound with the video recording. On its next performance, we used the same set up for an event where we were interviewing people in a crowded room. The room noise was louder than the interviewee. We tested the microphone again today, outside and inside. We tested it on the iPhone native video, iPhone Voice Recorder as well as Movie Pro and FilmicPro. Nothing. Tap on the microphone and you can't hear anything. It is like an invisible on/off switch has been set to off. I tried using the Rode extension cord and only the original cord. I switched out three headphone adaptors, nothing No change. No audio pick up whatsoever. Someone else in Feb. bought one and said it stopped working after 4 times. Maybe this was a dud batch, but I am disappointed, particularly after it performed so stellar when we first tried it.

Micro cravate de bonne qualité (zoom h1/smartphone/700d)

Reviewed in France on March 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Le micro-cravate, c’est souvent le premier choix qu’on fait, quand on souhaite s’équiper pour enregistrer sa voix en vidéo. Ce n’est pas trop cher, et on peut se déplacer sans se soucier de question de directivité. C’est simple d’utilisation, on branche, on enregistre.

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.

Records well, but everything else... poorly delivered. Not plug&play as you might expect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I must say that it is actually decent recording device. Review could end here... though.
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 :)

NEEDS adapter ?(Bought Separately)

Verified Purchase

Honestly would expect better from RODE. I'm very familiar with audio equipment and no where on the description (unless they update it now) does it mention that you NEED to buy the (£8) adapter to go from TRRS to TRS for it to work with most phones and all other TRS inputs (The normal inputs that every audio recording device in the world uses)
Very disappointed with this purchase. and I will not change this review until RODE changes the description and stops this false advertising.
