Frequently asked questions
Is the Rode Lavalier Microphone compatible with the Rode Wireless GO?
Yes, the Rode Lavalier is specifically designed for use with Rode Wireless GO systems and also works with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm TRS transmitter input.
What polar pattern does the Rode Lavalier use, and why does it matter?
It uses an omnidirectional polar pattern, which picks up sound equally from all 360° around the mic. This makes it ideal for interviews and presentations where the speaker may move, ensuring consistent audio without needing precise positioning.
How durable is the cable on the Rode Lavalier Microphone?
The cable is 3.9 ft long and reinforced with Kevlar — a high-strength synthetic fiber — making it highly resistant to tangling, kinking, and snapping during regular professional use.
