Lavalier Microphone NATEC Hopper

The Lavalier Microphone NATEC Hopper is a compact wireless microphone system designed for stable audio capture in studio and field conditions. Operating in the 2.4 GHz band with a maximum range of up to 30 meters, the system includes a transmitter and receiver in a portable charging case. The microphone offers a frequency response of 20–20000 Hz, sensitivity of -38 dB and lightweight construction suitable for interviews, reports, film and social media recordings.

Advantages

NATEC Hopper combines a simple transmitter‑receiver design with ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) to reduce background noise and deliver cleaner recordings without complex post‑processing. The system supports USB‑C charging: the internal 40 mAh battery powers the microphone for up to 4 hours on a single charge while the 200 mAh case provides additional recharges. The receiver allows pass‑through charging of the connected smartphone so recording can continue while the phone is being charged. The durable charging case protects the equipment and reduces the risk of loss or damage during transport.

How to use

Attach the lavalier microphone to the subject's clothing using the clip provided and connect the transmitter to the microphone. Turn on both transmitter and receiver and verify the wireless link within the 2.4 GHz range. Position the receiver near the recording device or smartphone and, if needed, connect a charger or powerbank to the receiver’s pass‑through port to avoid interruptions. Monitor audio levels on your recording device and perform a brief test recording to confirm clarity and ENC operation before starting the session.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the transmitter and receiver within the specified 30 m range and avoid large obstacles between them. Use the charging case to store and recharge the system between sessions, and enable ENC when recording in noisy environments to reduce background sounds.
