Microfon lavalier NATEC Hopper

The NATEC Hopper is a compact wireless lavalier microphone designed for stable audio capture in studio and field conditions. Operating in the 2.4 GHz band, it offers reliable sound transmission up to 30 meters and includes features such as ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation), a rechargeable 40 mAh transmitter battery, and a 200 mAh charging case. Compatible with devices using a Lightning connector, the system is intended for interviews, reporting, social media content and other on-the-go recording needs.

Advantages

The NATEC Hopper combines a simple transmitter–receiver design with long operating time and a protective charging case. Its ENC noise reduction improves clarity without additional post-processing, while the receiver allows simultaneous charging of the smartphone so recording can continue even when the phone is being recharged. The microphone is lightweight and available in black, with a frequency response of 20–20000 Hz and sensitivity around -38 dB.

How to use

Charge the microphone and its case before the first use. Attach the lavalier microphone to the speaker’s clothing and connect the receiver to the mobile device using the Lightning connector. Turn on both transmitter and receiver; they will pair automatically within the 2.4 GHz band. Position the transmitter on the subject and maintain an unobstructed line of sight where possible to ensure best signal stability. If the smartphone needs charging during recording, connect a charger or powerbank to the receiver’s connector and continue recording without interruption.

Recommendations

For optimal results, keep the distance between transmitter and receiver under 30 meters and avoid long-term exposure to strong electromagnetic interference sources. Store the microphone in its protective charging case to prevent damage and loss, and enable ENC when recording in noisy environments to reduce background sounds.
