Essential Guide on How to Mic Talent for Video

The Comica Audio SIG.LAV V03 is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone that lets you record clear and accurate speech directly to your DSLR/mirrorless camera and audio recorder, while monitoring your sound. It can also be used with an iPhone/Android smartphone/tablet that's equipped with a headphone jack.

The 20' cable features an in-line module with a clip for attaching it to your belt. The module houses a 3.5mm audio output that enables you to plug a set of headphones for real-time monitoring of the mic. There is also a dedicated switch that toggles between camera and phone output modes, switching the output of the mic to either 3.5mm TRS or TRRS.

The SIG.LAV V03 features an omnidirectional pickup pattern that captures sound from every direction, allowing for a variety of placement options and freedom of movement—even when the subject turns away from the mic.

The microphone is powered via a CR2032 battery. The metal construction offers shielding from radio frequency noise and a foam windscreen is provided to protect against wind noise.
