My Unboxing/Review of The Miracle Sound Lavaliere Mic
When
speaking to people on camera, the general rule of thumb is to get the
mic as close to the person as you can without it being obtrusive.
That's where a good lavaliere mic comes in. There are many on the
market for a wide range of applications, but few that are affordable
and work in concert with the iPhone. I personally needed both
affordability and integration with the iPhone so after a little
research I came across the Miracle Sound lav mic.
Set back
by the price (how cheap it was) I was a little hesitant to purchase
it, but at $17 w/shipping I thought it would be worth a try. The
shipping from Amazon was fast and the packaging was great! I was
amazed that so much care was placed on getting the product to me in
good working condition.
Upon
opening the box I was delighted to see that the mic package itself
was wrapped in bubble wrap and that there was no room for it to be
jostled around in the box. I unwrapped the package to reveal a nice
little zip-lock pouch that contained the microphone. I was at first
kind of leery about that, thinking to myself, “they put the mic in
a zip-lock baggie”!? However, after I opened it up I immediately
was relieved to find that it there was another pouch inside that held
the actual mic. It is a nice felt lined pouch with a Velcro enclosure
and I could see that much care was taken into placing the mic inside
the pouch.
Having
owned lavaliere mics in the past and knowing their woes, I was
extremely pleased to see that the mic came with a windscreen. One
thing I was not fond of was that the cord is only about 4' long and
the clip is not detachable. Other than that the mic works great and
sounds a ton better that the built in mic on my iPhone 4S. It does
record a little hot though so don't get to awful loud with it
otherwise it will distort.
Pros:
Affordable, easily integrated with mobile devices, comes with a nice
pouch and windscreen
Cons:
Cord length, permanently attached mic clip, seems to record a little
on the hot side
