How to stop unwanted noise when hiding a Lav Mic | Tea Break Tips

Clothing noise and fabric rustle can be a real pain when hiding a lavalier microphone. Thankfully there are tools that can help to reduce this noise.

In this video, Caleb demonstrates how you can use The Lav Concealer, The Invisible Lav Covers - Fur Outdoor, The Invisible Lav Covers - Moleskin, and The Cable Saver to reduce any unwanted clothing and cable noise from your lavalier mic.

1:19 - THE CABLE SAVER
The Cable Saver is made from silicone that you can wrap your lav microphone cable around which adds strain relief and removes cable noise from your lav mic at the same time.

2:28 - THE LAV CONCEALER
The Lav Concealer is a rubber mount that is moulded to the specific contours of its dedicated lav microphone. It also comes with metal fabric guards that lift clothing away from the lavalier microphones capsule. These two rubber and metal materials used in tandem help to disperse any friction noise and other vibrations before it reaches the lavalier mic's capsule.

3:36 - THE INVISIBLE LAV COVERS
The Invisible Lav Covers are the ultimate lav micing tool, coming in three different variations which have their own strengths. The Invisible Lav Covers - Fur Outdoor are made from our popular multi-pile faux fur and are for ultimate wind protection and noise reduction. The Invisible Lav Covers - Moleskin are made from a super soft, sustainably sourced bamboo material, for ultimate invisibility and noise reduction.

I appreciate the utility of this product but it kills me to spend $800 on a DPA 6060 to have the smallest wire I can get just to slap a bulky accessory on it that prints through a tee shirt.

I have a Tascam TM-10L (DR-10L) and LAV CONCEALER FOR SENNHEISER ME 2 version hasnt work very well. Very noisy under a shirt. What you offer or give advice for me to get better result?

Hey guys, did you fully cover the top of the lav when using the moleskin? I would imagine that would dampen the audio a bit?

[hjf]

does chest hair make a lot of noise? i am VERY hairy (and i can't shave because it itches like crazy)

[POLARICED]

Instead of using moleskin I could use another fur on top of the lav concealer?

[znbh]

how do you prevent noise when using a mic with a different shape, such as the Rode lavalier II ?

[danniv]

Would using the Cable Saver 5cm from the mic or even closer be a bad idea?

I'm still getting cloth noise, , it seems like I get vibrations from the concealer that transfer to the mic. Any ideas on how to fix that?

I’m looking for the invisible rubber lab concealer. Is it a one size fit all?

[winterbloomcreative]

is there a concealer for Seinheisser ME2-II?

[DevRel]

Why not a slip loop instead of the shock absorber?

This shirt is very easy. Try it on a suit Some hard fabrics

How many times can you wrap a Sanken COS-11? It's cable is thicker and I find I can barely wrap it around 2 times before putting it through the 2nd hole.
