On BeyondPodcasting, we converse with Anthony Mattana of Hooke Audio, creator of Hooke Lav, the lavalier microphone that transmits 48 kHz 24-bit audio via bluetooth to your Android, iOS, iPadOS or conventional camcorder while recording a local WAV file just in case. Listen to the full audio interview ahead. For a more informal ENG (Electronic News Gathering) type of an interview, you can even plug your favorite handheld dynamic microphone into the Hooke Lav transmitter. Your favorite handheld dynamic mic may be the Audio Technica BP4002, Electro-Voice RE50N/D-L (both compared in 2013), the RØDE Reporter (reviewed in 2015) or the Senal ENG-18RL (reviewed in 2016). Via the Kickstarter, you can get a Hooke Lav with a 40% discount.

To connect your favorite handheld dynamic microphone, you can use a cable like the Sennheiser KA 600i cable (female XLR to male TRRS) which I covered in this article in 2019 or similar one which may be released by Hooke Audio as an optional accessory to the Hooke Lav.
