Lavalier Microphones
A lavalier microphone is also known as a tie clip or lapel microphone and is a small electret or dynamic microphone that is often used for television, theatre, and public speaking applications. Lapel microphones allow hands-free operation and are most commonly supplied with small "crocodile" or "vampire" clips for attaching to collars, ties, or other clothing. The Lavalier microphone can be purchased as a stand alone powered unit to enable connection to mixers or recorders or can connect to a wireless system transmitter that can be camcorder mounted or body worn with a belt clip.
