“[The PinMic] was easy to hide against clothing and sounded amazing. I instantly fell in love with the design and new possibilities of this mic. The usual hassle of having to replace the mic to eliminate clothing ruffle was eliminated.”

PinMic

Discreet Pin-through Lapel Microphone

The RØDE PinMic™ is a discreet lavalier/lapel microphone with an innovative pin-through design that is not only easier to conceal than a traditional lapel microphone, but provides greater mounting versatility.

Comprised of a cabled backplate and a removable omni-directional capsule head, the PinMic™ is easily mounted onto any clothing or fabric by simply pushing the backplate pins through the back of the fabric and sliding the capsule into place on the front. The microphone backplate and cable are hidden behind the fabric, and the capsule head can be easily disguised, covered or decorated to further conceal the microphone.

The PinMic™ capsule is discrete at only 9mm deep and 11mm in diameter, and is supplied with both a black and an unpainted silver mesh head that can be further camouflaged by painting.

The microphone easily mounts through any fabric up to 1.5mm (0.006") thick without any damage to clothing. A longer pin version, the PinMic™-Long is available for mounting on thicker fabrics (up to 3.5mm/0.14" thick).

The microphone capsule is connected via a 1.2m (4') shielded, detachable Kevlar® reinforced cable that has been rigorously strain tested to ensure reliable performance.

The included mini-furry for high wind protection ensures quality recordings in adverse environments, while the anti-trauma water resistant case provides rugged and secure protection for the microphone, a spare capsule head, the microphone cable and included accessories.

The PinMic™ is an ideal solution for film, television, video, theatre, house of worship and anywhere where a high quality microphone needs to be heard but not seen.

Knowing that versatility is paramount in any product, RØDE has developed the MiCon™ connector system which provides seamless integration between the PinMic™ and a wide range of wireless systems as well as consoles, cameras and portable recorders.

The RØDE PinMic™ discreet pin-through lavalier microphone is covered by RØDE Microphones' innovative 5 year 'no questions asked' warranty which provides 12 months of complete cover, and an optional US$99 replacement microphone during the extended warranty period.

PinMic microphone reviews:

“So basically, the PinMic is a detachable capsule head (which come as standard in black and silver) with three ‘pin-size’ holes drilled into the back – a reinforcement plate (with the Kevlar cable connected to it) holds three pins, which in-turn fit into the holes in the rear of the capsule. This enables the microphone to be positioned in the optimum location – regardless of aesthetics and clothing issues – not only that, it also allows the cable to run down the inside of the clothing and removes the need for a crocodile clip to hold the mic in place. On the face of it – the idea looks promising – but is Rode’s first lavalier/headworn/pinable capsule up to scratch? Well, yes – unsurprisingly. I tested it in a few locations, the first being an acoustically treated studio – without the ambient distractions there I could really explore the mic – it’s got a nice full frequency response, with good bass coverage and a smooth high-end – unlike many traditional lavaliers. Next up was a cathedral – with a reverb time of 3 seconds, it did indeed pick up quite a bit of the ‘room’, but then it is an omni – what can we really expect? Lastly, we had a sports stadium – when using the included ‘mini-dead cat’ it picked up no wind noise whatsoever, and was as clear as possible. ”
