Rode LAV-headset Medium

A RODE accessory designed for mobile voice capture

The RODE Lav-Headset addresses a simple need: to achieve stable voice recording in situations where a lavalier microphone clipped to clothing can move, rub, or drift away. By transforming a RODE Lavalier or smartLav+ lavalier microphone into a headset microphone, it offers a practical solution for stage, educational, and event uses where consistent level and intelligibility are paramount.

Who is it for and what are the uses?

This headset is particularly suited for presenters, trainers, speakers, actors, and content creators who want to keep their hands free while maintaining a strong vocal presence. It is also well suited for dynamic situations (demonstrations, hosting, moving on stage), where the microphone-to-mouth distance must remain as constant as possible to facilitate mixing and limit volume variations.

Thanks to its three sizes, the Lav-Headset is suitable for both young users and adults, with a fit better adapted to the morphology to enhance comfort over time.

Comfort, fit, and durability: key points of the Lav-Headset

Spring steel frame

The structure is made of treated spring steel to provide optimal elastic resistance and resilience. Practically, this allows the headset to stay in place, regain its shape, and better withstand repeated handling related to performances, user changes, or transport.

Microphone close to the mouth: better intelligibility

By placing the microphone very close to the mouth, the Lav-Headset promotes optimal audio quality and a more intelligible voice. This proximity helps achieve a more consistent sound, often easier to process (EQ, compression), and more robust against ambient noise, which is valuable in conferences, on stage, or during video recording.

Cable clip at the back

The cable clip located at the back of the frame securely fastens the microphone cable. It helps protect the connection by reducing accidental pulls and contributes to a cleaner, more discreet, and more reliable setup during use.

Three sizes for a tailored fit

The Lav-Headset is available in three sizes to best fit the user. For reference: Junior (up to 13 years old), Medium (teen and adult), Large (large adult). This size choice improves comfort, microphone stability, and consistency of the sound capture.
