Most lavalier microphones that do not use a power pack or a battery tend to be underpowered. The wired <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1sGKGIn\">Audio-Technica ATR-3350<\/a> has a really interesting watch battery compartment that functions as an amplifier. What about wireless audio? I was amazed to find a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/WsMk2Y\">$13 wireless lavalier microphone<\/a> from Pyle audio works amazingly well when it is directly connected to a computer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dxkeh9Wav0g\">YouTube review<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>(Amazon links provide referral revenue for this blog)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>nofilmschool.com\u00a0offers a comparison of lavalier microphones that resulted with surprising quality from a $1 Chinese lavalier microphone.
