However, to my surprise, audio recording volume was more than acceptable when using an Android smartphone (Google Pixel 7a). This two-part podcast was recorded using the using the same wireless lav mic pair with the Pixel 7a and the Google Recorder app.<\/p>\n<p>The Recorder app was able to use the mic (seeing as a USB audio device) without any configuration. The lav mic base transceiver plugs directly into the Pixel 7a&#8217;s USB-C port.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Lawler, a frequent MobileViews podcast guest panelist, met me in a moderately challenging audio situation. In part A of the podcast, we sat about 10 feet from the relatively calm waters of a bay on a breezy day (about 20 MPH winds). There were a few people talking about 40 feet away, a boat passed by during the conversation, and the squeaking of a small floating boat dock about 30 feet away. <\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, Paul&#8217;s recording speech sounds better than mine. It may be that he placed his mic in a better position than me. Or, it may simply be the difference in our voice timbre and other properties. In part A, I truncated inter-speech silences and modified treble and bass just a little to reduce the &#8220;muddiness&#8221; of my speech. In part B, no modifications were made.<\/p>\n<p>In part A, both Paul and I were sitting while recording the mini-podcast. In part B, we recorded for about one minute while walking.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased to note that there was very little distracting ambient sound. The audio quality is acceptable (though not &#8220;really good&#8221;) for a podcast and little or no post-processing. I think with better mic placement and a little post-processing, &#8220;good&#8221; audio quality is possible using this sub-$30 wireless lav mic.<\/p>\n<p>Available via <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/music\/listen?u=0&#038;gclid=COid8dLi6s0CFQrQfgodJ_8CsA&#038;gclsrc=ds#\/ps\/Ioaoswyblmdonyb42jg6stsl6om\">Google Music Podcasts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mobileviews.com-podcast\/id301171904?mt=2\">Apple iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\u201chttps:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/MobileViewscom-Podcast-Podcast\/B08K565TQS?qid=1640555789&#038;sr=1-1&#038;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&#038;pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&#038;pf_rd_r=TXEJVWB2VW471GJ9XQQ0\u201d<\/a>MobileViews Podcast from Audible.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My earlier tests of the ABSGEEGA wireless lav mic with Apple iOS\/iPadOS devices were somewhat disappointing because the audio recording volume was so low that a lot of audio post-processing was needed to produce usable audio for podcasting.
