On this ridiculous episode of Sound 101, Andrew from Deity performs a brutal lavalier stress test by testing the limits of the W.Lav Pro. This lavalier is our pro model and is IP57 rated, which means it is a waterproof lavalier, and also dustproof. We test both of those claims, and then take it five steps further!

W.Lav Pro - bit.ly/3sgKgcV
We test the tensile strength of the W.Lav Pro cable to see how much force it can hold. Then we take the waterproofing to a truly new level and freeze it into a block of ice. Can you freeze your lavs? It is not recommended! See how the W.Lav Pro holds up to these insane circumstances that mimic what would be one of the most brutal sets of all time.
We built the W.Lav Pro to be so tough because we know you want your microphones to last forever and we know how much abuse they tend to go through in the cycle of working set to set. We also wanted the W.Lav Pro to be a confident choice when you know you have an extreme set like a gameshow, sporting event, or something of that sort.
Let us know in the comments below if you like this microphone stress test and we can try doing more of them.

What do you think of the W.Lav Pro?

@biscuitranchproductions4946 3 года назад

They are fantastic Lavs! I can't wait for the BP-TRX!

@anyuisbjoern 2 года назад

Allen from Sound Speed has a good teet on the W.Lav series. And I think it sounds quite good ( The W.Lav Pro) but is not in the beginner segment. There you probably should more go for a V.Lav.

@lukereeves4448 2 года назад

I'd love to see impact testing :D

@rickhickman2730 Год назад

Can the w.lav pro or micro connect and run properly with the Rode wireless GO II system?

@stalman 3 года назад

I think I’ve accidentally put my mic’s through all these tests. Accidentally of course

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

😂accidentally froze your microphone?

@charliehinde2982 3 года назад

I've owned a W.Lav Pro for almost 2 years now. They're great. My only issue with the W.Lav Pro is it not being able to predict how clumsy a person I am, and just be naturally immune to my stupidity. Other than that...it's amazing. Had one for almost two years now (in original beige colour). It took dropping a transmitter with the Lav still plugged in, while holding the Lav, giving a mighty tug on the Microdot TA3 Adapter (bouncing in the air at the connection point; the transmitter never hit the ground), maybe 5 times in the last two years before I had any issues. It's only now that the TA3 Adapters are struggling, by my own clumsy hand. Static and drop outs, Nothing more. Nothing a little tension release near the end of the cable where the Microdot points are plugging into the TX can't fix.

This channel is so thoughtful and fun! I've already recomended it to many friends of mine in our local industry. Keep up the great work!!

@OMTEKNO 2 года назад

Thanks for the detailed review. I finally got my w lav pro and really happy with the clarity. The design is unique, looks professional and beautiful. The microdot connector is also one positive value for this mic. It can be fitted to various recorder.

@lineshlenin 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the video. Much awaited for this test.

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

So you're saying we should destroy the S-Mic 2 next week?

@lineshlenin 3 года назад

@@DeityMicrophones Nooo...won't be able to handle that trauma 😅

@WORTHITORNOT 3 года назад

I heard Allen from @SoundSpeeds likes to do Stress tests :)

@JakeSloan 3 года назад

Finally a lav that will go with me into glaciers 😜

@BasicFilmmaker 3 года назад

Best - video - ever. LOL!! Love it! And yes, also grateful back for what you guys do. 👍

@anthonyroberts9232 3 года назад

Excellent presentation well constructed and still sounding good, it took the beating and kept on working.

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Did you like how it sounded at the end?

@josdyr6907 3 года назад

And we're pretty grateful for you too 😊

@NicholasLeicht 3 года назад

This was great! Thanks for doing the tests so we don't have to.

@umbertoaguiar Год назад

Thanks for your review . Both Curtis Judd and Allen Williams recommend this mic but I was a little concerned about the cable's strength. Not anymore. Obviously. So I will get one to add to my Connect Interview kit.

@studiotherapie1400 3 года назад

Hello ! Just a question about the deity connect kit, Can i use DPA 4060 microphone with it?

@ChaseStine 3 года назад

I’d love to see one of these rugged test (because let’s face it we’re sickos with a bloodlust for technological destruction) with an athlete or someone moving a lot (dare I say an mma fighter) to test the impact durability of the receivers and microphone itself. Love the work. :)

@djktman 3 года назад

Very interesting test. The 10lb weight was the most impressive. I'm sure no one will try to freeze their mic. It was hard for me to watch for sure. I was wondering if you guys can do a test in the situations we will find on set. LIke dried fake blood, sweat going in (salt water), tension where the cable and capsule meets, etc.

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

So this is done test saltwater, we drenched this in salt to melt the ice. We washed it all off and let it dry out overnight. You can hear the results at 7:45. As for where the cable meets the capsule it's actually more cable. The nylon reinforcement goes into the capsule. The bottom half of the capsule is still cable.

@imark7777777 2 года назад

QuickTip if you get say salt water in your electronics like say a camera dunked in the Ocean your best bet is to clean it out with clean water and alcohol to reduce the salt content so it no longer corrodes before it corrodes. oh and I almost managed to save my camera which I considered not bad for having no tools and it being really small and being in a foreign country.

@imark7777777 2 года назад

But can I use it as a hammer to drive a nail like that other microphone company after I frozen it?

@omi1953 3 года назад

Hey I wanna buy d3 can i use it for voiceover

@ScottClintonPhotography 3 года назад

Could the microdot connector have been the source/point of weakness of the static with the water/ice cube challenge?

@DeityMicrophones 3 года назад

Possible. There could have been water/ice inside of it. It is not waterproof.

@adventuringwitheva Год назад

These test stress me out so much 😅

@zoanyway 3 года назад

Stress test?! HAH. Love my Deity gear. Except for the DA35 microdot adapter. Bought 4, broke 4, within two productions covering 8 days. 2 Pros, a Micro, and a standard W.lav. ALL BROKEN by talent just wearing them in fairly tame situations, running Deity Connect and Senn G4 transmitters.

@Dustbrigade 3 года назад

I would be more worried about the connector and mic head than the cable itself for the 10lb weight. Stress test that next time?

@bartekpodkowa 3 года назад

Makes me think I should have filmed myself taking apart the BP-TX a few months ago, turning it from "slightly damaged, could send it in for repairs" to "absolutely FUBAR"... But hey - you can't put a price on education! Ok, maybe you can - it's about 170 USD ;)
