AmpliVox S1612 Lavalier and Headset Microphone Wireless System (Discontinued)

The AmpliVox S1612 Lavalier and Headset Microphone Wireless System includes lapel and headset mics, a transmitter, a receiver, and AC power supply. The S1612 System is the perfect alternative to a handheld microphone system.

Lapel microphones (also known as lavalier or lav mics) are popularly used for television, theatre, and public speaking where a small microphone is required or the microphone needs to be hidden. Lav mics come with small clips that attaches to collars, ties, jackets, or hidden under clothing, with a cord from the lavalier mic that runs down and connects to a bodypack transmitter placed in a pocket or clipped to a belt around your waist.

Headset microphones attach to the bodypack transmitter in the same fashion as a lav mic, and may be more practical to use in a performance where the subject is moving around quickly such as an aerobics instructor, singer or dancer. The headset is worn as a headband behind the head and around the ear as the mic hovers near your mouth. The sound level of a headset microphone is more consistent than a lavalier since the mic is often positioned just an inch or so from the sound source while a lavalier might be positioned four or five inches away.
