Introducing the first professional Lav Concealers for the Sony ECM-77, Deity W.Lav Pro and Deity W.Lav Micro lavalier microphones.

The Lav Concealer has been adopted by sound professionals all over the world as their lavalier mount of choice. Using a combination of soft, shock-absorbent, natural rubber and metal fabric guards, The Lav Concealer is super effective at reducing unwanted noise and fabric rustle, that can occur when mic’ing up your subject.

The Lav Concealers for the Deity W.Lav Pro and Deity W.Lav Micro have been made to measure, promising excellent consistency holding the mic in exactly the correct position, offering enhanced shock and friction protection for the mic giving you an all-round professional mounting option.

With the Lav Concealer for the ECM-77 you now have more options for mic placement for when a less visible mic is needed and this opens up a heap of new possibilities. The ECM-77 is included with Sony’s UWP-D Pro wireless kits and commonplace with the DWX system too.
