After someone asked me for a recommendation on a lavalier/lapel microphone to improve the audio quality of Zoom calls, I got ahold of a couple and did a test. You'll hear the audio in this episode!
I used only wired lavs for this episode because it turns out wireless is hard :-). I'll do a wireless lav test for the next episode.
For this test, I used the MOVO M1 and the Sennheiser XS USB-C. Both are super inexpensive.
Take a listen to the result here in the episode, along with my recommendation.
