Audio-Technica MT830R lavaliere omni mic

day-rate

 
If renting this,
also consider:

features:
o clean, accurate reproduction
o very flat frequency response
o wireless with ATW-U101 or hardwire with XLR adapter

All of our wireless and hardwired lavaliere mics use the AT MT830 for consistent, matching sound.

grip tips:

Make a "football" to reducing clothing noise:

I used to make paper footballs in school by folding a strip of paper into a tight triangle.  A friend's fingers would serve as a goal-post for a quick, tabletop game.

Like paper footballs, fold two short lengths of 1" or 2" gaff-tape into "footballs" with the sticky side outward.  You should have two sticky triangles when done.

Sandwich the lavaliere mic between the footballs so the mic opening is outside the long edge and the cable passes through the opposite, right-angled point.

Stick the mic inside an actor's costume with the football.  The sticky surfaces both hold the mic in place and prevent clothing around the mic from sliding about.
