Update - the Evolution compatible unit has been discontinued. In its place there is now an adapter cable to test Evolution compatible mics with the Chicago model tester.
Available in two versions: Shure compatible (TA4F) and Sennheiser LEMO compatible (3-pin LEMO). Please email if you are interested in a version supporting any other brand of wireless.
Operation is about as simple as it gets! Plug in a lavalier or headset microphone and a pair of headphones. Turn the knob to switch on power and control volume.
Headphone output doubles as balanced line output. So you can also use the Lav-Amp as preamp to use lav mics without a wireless system.
Extremely useful for A2 use - check mic placement while micing up an actor in their dressing room, for instance.
Also useful for testing to see if there are cable problems, or when a wireless system isn't
available.
Designed and hand-made in the USA by an actual audio dude. Powered by a single 9 volt transistor battery.
