Karri Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi, I was thinking about plastic/rubbery lav concealers such as this DPA one: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/b3o4z.gn3gt/v/vspfiles/photos/9999-13614-2.jpg?1362991732 Currently the lavs I have are Rode Lavs and OST TL-40's. Does anyone know of lav concealers that work well with these mics? What about these quieting sleeves, anyone tried these and what did you think about them? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/417402-REG/Garfield_SGARHL_Hush_Lav_Lavalier.html Thanks!

Dan Ostroff Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 There are some great options at LMC Sound's site: http://lmcsound.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 LMC stuff is very very good, Hush Lavs are also very very good, they all work well in different situations. Not sure the Hush Lavs will work with either of the mics you mention though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbiesodd Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 The wonderful Sanken RM11 mounts work well with the OST TL40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicBoomPole Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hush lavs and rm-11 both work great for my TL-40 lavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karri Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the tips guys, I will look into these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 You will probably notice that the Rode Lavalier wasn't made for hiding under clothing. The sound gets very dull. TL40s sound better hidden than in plain sight, though. I use DPA concealers (the one for 4061s, not 4071!) or overcovers with them. Works well.

Karri Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Christian, yes I have indeed noticed they are a bit lacking in the high end when hidden. For some gigs I am now stuck with either them or rentals though, since I'm having trouble with the TL40 connectors and my Senn G3's. I am mostly stuck with the Rodes now until I either send the TL40's for connector switching or get some Sennheiser connectors and switch them myself. I have however gotten good results with the Rode Vampire clip, mounting the mic so that it's close to the edge of whichever piece of clothing it's attached to, so more high end gets through. This doesn't work all the time of course, and the concealers would of course give more options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound Art Film Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 The plastic dpa concealers are the best. I like the rm-11, but the dpa concealer has less surface friction, smaller profile (rise), can be stitched into clothing and is easy to apply two sided tape to. The cons of the dpa concealer? Well, price. I use the dpa 4061s with the concealers all the time. If you want me to measure anything for reference just let me know.
