Lav mic attenuator?

[Sound]

Does something as an attenuator for lav mics exist.

I was trying the rode wireless go II and used the internal mics.

Audio is totally clipped - even in the internal recording - although the attenuator was activated. (I think its only 3db).

Now I tried to connect an external mic, but it still clips very soon.

Is there a way to connect an attenuator to the lav mic so the input signal doesnt clip in the wireless go ii?

I know its not an ideal solution..

( Sarcastic, salty comments removed) Yes, there is a way. But what you are experiencing can be more easily solved by utilizing higher end, lower sensitivity LAV mics. Rode is a good beginning and backup, but as you see, it has hard limitations. If your savy with a razor and iron you can put in a resistor and lower sensitivity, I guess you could make your own attenuation adapter cable ( casual trash talk mixed with salty comment removed). Lemme know if your curious 🧐. I’ve made lots of repairs to many different types of LAV mics. PM me for pics and how to’s.

I am not familier with rode wireless. Most Tx have a gain setting, so lower that. Could very well be clipping at the receiver end going the to the mixer or recorder input as well. If the sound source is high SPL, you may need a different low sensitivity mic.. as was previously stated,

Unfortunately Rode has only a pad setting thats -4db for the internal and - according to some user experience -2 db for the external mic. You can set the output level of the receiver for sure, but that doesnt help. I think I will stay with my sony uwp-d wireless lavs so far, as those rodes arent ideal when it gets loud.

I realise this is digging up an old thread, but this is exactly the issue I have. There's no adjustment on the transmitter at all (Comica BoomX-D) and its just too sensitive with loud voices in noisy environments. I'm happy to build something with a TRS socket and plug that could be inserted between mic and transmitter. Can anyone provide guidance? 

 

I measured the mic resistance, and I get 1.3k between sleeve and tip, sleeve and ring,  and 6.8ohm between ring and tip.
