Pros & Cons

- Includes windscreen, mic clip, and storage pouch in the box

- Single-channel mono output limits use in stereo recording scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the XS Lav USB-C require any drivers or software to work?
No. It is a plug-and-play microphone that connects directly via USB-C and is recognized as a standard audio input by smartphones, tablets, and computers without additional software.
Can I use this microphone with a device that only has a USB-A port?
The microphone has a USB-C connector. To use it with a USB-A port, you would need a USB-C to USB-A adapter, which is not included.
How long is the cable on the XS Lav USB-C?
The cable length is 2 meters (6.6 feet), which provides enough reach to clip the microphone to your collar while keeping your device at a comfortable distance.
Is a windscreen included for outdoor recording?
Yes. A foam windscreen is included along with a mic clip and a storage pouch, so you have the essentials for reducing wind noise during outdoor shoots.
Does this microphone pick up sound from all directions?
Yes. The omnidirectional pickup pattern captures sound equally from all directions, which means it picks up your voice naturally but will also capture ambient sounds in your environment.
