Product Information
Full details
The Joby Wavo Lav PRO is a professional lavalier microphone designed for creators seeking broadcast-quality audio in a discreet package. Its key benefit is capturing clear, detailed sound for interviews, vlogs, and presentations, even when concealed. A potential caveat is its wired connection, which requires a compatible 3.5mm input on your recording device. This clip-on microphone features an ultra-small omnidirectional capsule, a long cable to minimize noise, and includes essential accessories for immediate use.

FAQs
What is the primary use case for the Wavo Lav PRO?
The Wavo Lav PRO is designed for creators who need high-quality, discreet audio for interviews, vlogs, presentations, and any situation where clear voice capture is essential.
Does this microphone work with smartphones?
Yes, it works with smartphones that have a 3.5mm microphone input jack. For devices with only a Lightning or USB-C port, you will need an appropriate adapter (sold separately).
What is the difference between the Wavo Lav PRO and the Wavo Lav Mobile?
The Wavo Lav PRO is a more professional-grade microphone with an aluminum and plastic housing and broadcast-quality sound capture. The Wavo Lav Mobile is designed primarily for mobile devices and may have different material and sound characteristics.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 2.5 meters (approximately 8.2 feet) long.
Can I use this microphone outdoors?
Yes, the included foam windscreen helps reduce wind noise for light outdoor use. For very windy conditions, a dedicated windscreen or 'deadcat' might be necessary for optimal performance.
What is the impedance of the microphone?
The output impedance of the Wavo Lav PRO is 2000 Ohms.
What is the maximum sound pressure level?
The maximum sound pressure level (SPL) at 1kHz is 120 dB.
Troubleshooting
No sound or very low volume
Ensure the 3.5mm plug is fully inserted into the device's microphone input. Check that your device's audio input is set to the external microphone and that the input volume is turned up. Verify the microphone is not muted in your recording software or device settings.
Excessive background noise or hum
Ensure the cable is not rubbing against clothing or other surfaces. Try rerouting the cable away from power sources or other electronic devices that might cause interference. Use the foam windscreen to reduce wind noise.
Audio sounds muffled
Check that the foam windscreen is properly seated and clean. Ensure the omnidirectional capsule is not obstructed by clothing or hair. Test without the windscreen to see if it resolves the issue, and consider a different windscreen if needed for windy conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent audio quality for its size.
- Discreet and easy to conceal.
- Long cable offers good flexibility.
- Durable build with metal and plastic components.
- Includes necessary accessories for basic use.
Cons
- Requires a device with a 3.5mm input.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the microphone clip to your clothing, ideally near the center of your chest, about 6-8 inches from your mouth.
- Connect the 3.5mm plug to the microphone input on your camera, smartphone, or audio recorder.
- If needed, attach the foam windscreen to the microphone capsule.
Compatibility:
This microphone is compatible with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm (1/8") microphone input. This includes most DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, smartphones, and portable audio recorders. Ensure your device has a dedicated microphone input and not just a headphone jack (though some devices use a combined jack).
Care:
- Store the microphone in the included carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage.
- Gently wipe the microphone and cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging in water.
- Keep the foam windscreen clean by gently brushing it or rinsing with water and allowing it to air dry completely.
