W.Lav Pro 3.5mm TRS — Waterproof Lavalier Microphone for Demanding Productions

The Deity Microphones W.Lav Pro - 3.5mm TRS is a miniature IP57 waterproof omnidirectional lavalier microphone built for film, broadcast, and field recording where weather, wardrobe, and wireless reliability cannot be left to chance. Built around a pre-polarized condenser capsule the same size as industry-standard lavs, this model delivers crisp, natural speech reproduction while staying compatible with conceal mounts, clips, and windshields already in most audio kits. It is the right choice for production sound mixers, documentary shooters, and corporate video teams who need broadcast-quality dialogue capture in rain, sweat, or high-RF environments.

Built to Withstand the Elements

What separates this microphone from typical lavaliers is its sealed construction and RF-aware cable design. The IP57 rating protects the capsule from perspiration, aerosol cosmetics, and immersion in shallow water, while the shielded internal cable guards against the RF interference that plagues traditional lavs on newer digital wireless systems. Securing the mic in the bodypack transmitter, the locking 3.5 mm TRS connector ensures a stable connection even during active movement on set.

Capsule and Audio Performance

At the heart of the W.Lav Pro sits a pre-polarized condenser capsule tuned for full-range dialogue capture. The omnidirectional polar pattern keeps levels consistent regardless of how the talent turns their head, and the wide frequency response means voices sound natural without heavy post-EQ.

• Capsule Type: Pre-polarized Condenser — broadcast-grade element for clean speech reproduction
• Consistent pickup from any orientation on the chest or collar is assured by the omnidirectional polar pattern.
• Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range capture that reduces the need for corrective EQ
• Maximum SPL: 110 dB — handles shouted dialogue and energetic scenes without distortion

Physical Design and Durability

The capsule housing measures just 4 × 17 mm, matching the footprint of legacy industry-standard lavaliers so existing mounts, concealers, and windshields from LMC, Bubblebee, Ursa, and Hide-A-Mic drop straight onto it. With its IP57 weatherproofing and operational temperature range, the mic can survive outdoor shoots from cold morning exteriors to hot stage lights.

• Mic Head Size: 4 × 17 mm — identical to standard lav dimensions for universal accessory fit
• The IP57 rating means dust-sealing and waterproofing for rain, sweat, and shallow immersion.
• Operational Temperature: -20 °C to 70 °C — reliable from winter exteriors to hot studio sets
• Cable Length: 1.8 m — long enough to route from chest or collar down to ankle-mounted transmitters

Connectivity and Power

The attached cable terminates in a locking 3.5 mm TRS plug compatible with most professional wireless bodypack transmitters, including Sennheiser, Deity, and other popular systems. Plug-in power between 2.5 and 3.3 VDC from the transmitter is all the mic needs to operate, so no separate bias supply is required.

• Connector: Locking 3.5 mm TRS — secure fit that resists accidental disconnection on set
• Extra internal cable shielding protects against digitally modulated RF interference.
• Operating Voltage: 2.5 – 3.3 VDC plug-in power — draws bias directly from the wireless transmitter

Who the W.Lav Pro Is For

This lavalier suits production sound mixers, documentary crews, ENG operators, and corporate video teams needing one mic for indoor interviews, outdoor narrative work, and live event capture without constant swaps. IP57 sealing, a locking connector, and RF-shielded cabling make it especially useful for those running digital wireless systems where interference is a frequent challenge. Indie filmmakers and podcasters moving up from entry-level lavs will notice a meaningful audio upgrade at this price tier.

Deity Microphones and the W.Lav Pro Story

Deity Microphones designed the W.Lav Pro to fill a gap in the mid-market lavalier segment between sub-$100 consumer mics and $300-plus professional models, offering a craftsman-grade capsule at a fraction of the legacy price. The Pro was engineered from the outset to pair flawlessly with the Deity THEOS wireless system, and it ships ready to deploy with a hard case, foam pop filter, lapel clip, cable organizer, adhesive mounts, and acoustic felt included in the box.
