1. Definition and working principle of wireless lavalier microphone

As the name suggests, a wireless lavalier microphone is a small wireless microphone that can be clipped on a collar or other part. It mainly consists of three parts: a microphone (pickup), a transmitter and a receiver.

In terms of working principle, the microphone is responsible for picking up sound signals and converting them into electrical signals. The transmitter modulates the electrical signal and sends it out through wireless signal transmission methods (such as 2.4G frequency, Bluetooth, etc.). The receiver receives the wireless signal, demodulates it and restores it to the original electrical signal, and then outputs it to the audio device (such as audio, camera, computer, etc.) for playback or recording.

II:Features of wireless lavalier microphones

1. Compact and portable: Wireless lavalier microphones are usually very small and light, and can be clipped on the collar without feeling the burden. They are easy to carry and use, especially suitable for outdoor and mobile scenes.

2. Free your hands: Compared with traditional handheld microphones, wireless lavalier microphones do not need to be held by hand, allowing users to perform actions and performances more freely, which is very practical for scenes that require body language coordination such as speeches, hosting, and performances.

3. Flexible wearing methods: In addition to clipping on the collar, you can also fix the microphone in other locations, such as the chest of clothes, hats, or even hide it in the hair, by matching different accessories, such as clips, magnets, etc., to meet different usage needs and aesthetic requirements.

4. Good concealment: Due to its compact design and flexible wearing method, the wireless lavalier microphone can be well hidden when in use, without affecting the beauty of the picture. It is especially suitable for some shooting scenes that require high picture neatness, such as filming movies and TV series.

5. Stable wireless transmission: Using advanced wireless transmission technology to ensure the stability and reliability of audio signals during transmission, reduce signal interference and delay, and ensure clear and smooth sound.

6. Long battery life: Equipped with large-capacity batteries or rechargeable batteries, it has a long battery life and can meet the needs of long-term use. Some high-end wireless lavalier microphones also support fast charging and charging while using functions, which further improves the convenience of use.

III. Application scenarios of wireless lavalier microphones

1. Video production and live broadcast: In various video shootings, whether it is professional film and television production or short video creation of self-media, wireless lavalier microphones are important tools for obtaining clear human voices. It allows actors and hosts to move freely during performances and explanations without being restricted by microphone cables, while ensuring high-quality sound recording. In the field of live broadcasting, wireless lavalier microphones are a must-have for anchors, allowing anchors to interact with the audience more naturally and smoothly, improving the live broadcast effect and audience experience.

2. Speech and training: For speakers and trainers, wireless lavalier microphones allow them to move freely on the podium, interact and communicate better with the audience, and enhance the appeal and effect of speeches and training. At the same time, it also avoids the problems of hand movement interference and unstable sound that may be caused by handheld microphones.

3. Stage performance: In stage performances, actors often need to perform large movements and dance performances. Wireless lavalier microphones can be firmly worn on the actors. No matter how the actors move, they can ensure clear sound pickup and present a perfect performance for the audience. In addition, for some stage performances that require special shapes or costumes, the concealment of wireless lavalier microphones will not destroy the overall stage effect.

4. Interviews and reports: In scenes such as news interviews and on-site reports, reporters and hosts need to conduct interviews and reports quickly and flexibly. The convenience and stability of wireless lavalier microphones make them an ideal choice. It can make the interview process more natural and smooth, while ensuring the clear recording of the interview sound, providing the audience with real and accurate information.

5. Education and teaching: In educational scenarios such as classroom teaching and online teaching, teachers use wireless lavalier microphones to make the sound more clearly transmitted to every student's ears, improving the teaching effect. Especially in large classrooms or remote teaching, the role of wireless lavalier microphones is more obvious, ensuring that students can hear the teacher's explanation.

IV. Technical parameters and performance indicators of wireless lavalier microphones

1. Frequency response: reflects the microphone's ability to respond to sounds of different frequencies. Generally speaking, the wider the frequency response range, the richer the sound frequency that the microphone can pick up, and the higher the sound restoration. For example, the frequency response range of a high-quality wireless lavalier microphone may be between 20Hz - 20kHz, which can well cover the frequency range audible to the human ear and ensure the naturalness and authenticity of the sound.

2. Sensitivity: The higher the sensitivity, the stronger the microphone's ability to perceive sound, and the weaker the sound signal can be picked up. However, the higher the sensitivity, the better. Too high sensitivity may cause the microphone to be easily disturbed by environmental noise. Therefore, it is necessary to select a wireless lavalier microphone with appropriate sensitivity according to the specific usage scenario.

3. Signal-to-noise ratio: The signal-to-noise ratio refers to the ratio of the useful signal to the noise signal in the microphone output signal. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the smaller the noise in the sound signal output by the microphone, and the clearer the sound quality. Generally speaking, a wireless lavalier microphone with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 60dB can provide relatively clear sound quality.

4. Maximum sound pressure level: It indicates the maximum sound intensity that the microphone can withstand without distortion. For some scenes where high sound pressure levels may occur, such as concerts, sports events, etc., it is necessary to select a wireless lavalier microphone with a higher maximum sound pressure level to ensure that it can work normally in a loud environment.

5. Wireless transmission distance: This is an important performance indicator of a wireless lavalier microphone. Different wireless lavalier microphones may have different wireless transmission distances. Generally speaking, ordinary wireless lavalier microphones can reach a transmission distance of tens of meters in an unobstructed environment, while some high-end products can even reach hundreds of meters. When choosing, it is necessary to determine the appropriate transmission distance based on the actual usage scenario and needs.

6. Battery life: As mentioned above, battery life is very important for the use of wireless lavalier microphones. The longer the battery life, the more convenient it is to use, and there is no need to charge or replace the battery frequently. Generally speaking, the battery life of wireless lavalier microphones ranges from a few hours to more than ten hours, and some products equipped with large-capacity batteries or charging boxes have longer battery life.
