Mini microphones are everywhere, but who is listening?
The lavalier microphone, which can clip to clothing, has become the staple accessory of the content-creation age. Held daintily between a gazillion influencers’ thumbs and forefingers, this tiny, cheap device has become a fixture of the social media scroll. Often deliberately basic, catching the odd scuffle or plosive, the mini mic is a quick way to convey that this is supposedly an “authentic”, irreverent piece of content. The form fits perfectly with the social media popularity of vox pops .
In ’90s rock stadiums, taking the mic used to be a big deal – it was a clumsy bit of roadie kit that threatened either to refuse to work or to squall feedback through breezeblock-sized loudspeakers. But even as its form changed, the microphone has had a constancy in purpose, standing between the transmitting and receiving ends of most great music and political rallying of the last century. To take the mic was to take control of the narrative, and create a story.
