- XS Lav USB-C -
Omnidirectional lavalier microphone with 2 m (6.6') cable and USB-C connector designed for use with mobile devices and computers with USB-C inputs
Record with Clarity
Upgrading your audio is one of the best ways to improve the quality of your content. Traditionally, onboard microphones in computers and mobile devices capture more than just your voice. Removing distracting room noise helps focus your audio, providing a more enjoyable experience for your listener.
The Right Tool for the Job
The XS Lav features an omnidirectional microphone, a type most commonly used in professional broadcast applications. The ability to discreetly clip the mic to clothing offers both a professional look and great sound.
Simple and Effective
Setting up your XS Lav is hassle free. Your phone or computer will power the microphone and automatically switch from the internal mic, no further steps required. Simply plug the cable into your device and you're ready to record.
USB-C vs Mobile (TRRS)
While the XS Lav Mobile is a great option, plugging a TRRS microphone into a 3.5 mm headset input will disable your onboard speakers. By using the XS Lav USB-C, you are able to utilize two-way communication for applications such as Skype, Zoom or other video conferencing platforms. Although not every device has USB-C ports, third-party USB-C to USB-A adapters are affordable and readily available.
- Manfrotto PIXI Mini -
The Manfrotto PIXI is a durably constructed, lightweight mini tripod. The PIXI features a ball-joint head with a push-button locking mechanism that enables you to position and lock the ball head in one fluid, intuitive motion. Rubber feet ensure a slip-free grip on most surfaces and collapsible legs allow for convenient handheld vlogging. Thanks to the universal 1/4" screw thread and excellent stability, the PIXI can be used with various digital devices, weighing up to 1 kg.
- Smartphone Clamp -
The Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp is made from solid aluminium and features soft rubber grips that provide a secure fit for nearly all mobile phones. A 180-degree locking dial allows for portrait or landscape positioning so you can switch from one aspect ratio to another with ease. Four 1/4 - 20 thread mounts allow you to add additional accessories, while the bottom of the clamp features both 1/4-20 and 3/8 mounting options to cover a variety of tripod connections, as well as an Arca Swiss compatible design. An integrated cold shoe mount makes the Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp the perfect accessory for our on-camera microphones and wireless product.
