Hear the different characteristics of these four lavaliere mics and decide for yourself which one is best for you. Also you’ll hear how well these lavs cut against the RØDE NTG-3 shotgun microphone.

Great Comparison Video!!!
Perhaps its personal preference but the ME2 sounds the best to me?
Great video, extremely useful, it is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for that, I think I will go with the Sanken ;)
Hi Chad, great video, I must admit I never A/B’d lavs, but I always had a strong feeling that TR50 has the biggest HF bump, while not being particularly bright all the way up in the highest frequencies, we sometimes call ‘air’. This comparison, however, makes the TR50 sound the darkest, and I’m wondering if your Tram is maybe a bit worn out, or, if it’s new, maybe a bad piece…. If you get the time and the opportunity, would you please test it against another TR50 and confirm if this is indeed how they sound against the others? Thanks!
