A lapel microphone is a small, compact microphone designed to be clipped onto clothing, typically used for presentations, performances, recording, and video production to ensure clear sound capture.

A lapel microphone captures sound through a tiny mic and transmits the audio signal to a recording device or amplification system via a wired or wireless connection.

Lapel microphones are more discreet and suitable for activities where freedom of movement is required, while headset microphones are better for activities where a stable microphone position is needed, such as DJ performances.

This depends on the model and usage, but most wireless lapel microphones have a battery life ranging from 4 to 10 hours.

Clip the microphone onto your clothing, ensuring the mic is facing down and close to your mouth, but not directly into it, to avoid interference from breathing sounds and plosive noises.
