RODE smartLav+

The tie-clip microphone really does have a manual, especially on the Android devices: with which it is certainly compatible, with any android device to my knowledge, as long as you use the right apps!

A disadvantage: the manual I was talking about is NOT included, you have to figure it all out yourself, luckily I have had this microphone for a while and I can fully explain it to you!

I use the microphone for an android device, you can plug it in and that's it Kees .. I thought! I went to record the sound with the standard sound recorder of my telephone, and I was shocked: what a dredging quality!

I almost returned it until I found out that the standard recording apps on your phone are not suitable for this at all, I bought the app "Recforge Pro" for about 3 euros from the Playstore and the 3 euros is well worth it!

With this app you can set everything, and the most important: the recording volume. This is very important because otherwise you will really record the audio too loud and the sound will actually be "broken". You have to play with the volume yourself a bit, because one naturally speaks louder than the other.

All in all, this search cost me a lot of money, because I already had another microphone for this, but I did return it because I thought it was my microphone, but it was the application.

So here is the user manual, in a nutshell:

Plug and play, that's right.. But download an app like Recforge Pro so that the sound can be heard! (By the way, it saves a lot of work for Coolblue and PostNL, if you want to return it just like me..)

From the KRO I am used to the expensive variants. Because I now want to start for myself and so I am starting out, I went looking for decent quality for a starting price. This product is much more than that. It is very handy, nice sound and very good quality. I am positively surprised and will not save for a more expensive one, at most for a few more of these :-)
