Reviewed Skip to the planner

Creators miking interviews. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate subject count into a wireless-lav class. Payload, channel count, and distance decide the class. A sample photo does not.

This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank DJI, Rode, and Sennheiser. It produces an explainable class so DJI Mic 2, Rode Wireless GO II, and Sennheiser EW-DP ME 2 can be compared as examples of that class.

The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in CTA. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.

How to use this calculator

Creators miking interviews. Translate subject count into a wireless-lav class. If you can answer mic'd subjects, this page can produce a class you can shop against.

What this page will not do

  1. Enter the planning inputs

    Choose a wireless-lav class by recording mic'd subjects. Use real measurements or counts, not a rounded marketing number.

  2. Keep optional extras off until they are real

    This tool has no optional add-ons. If a number is uncertain, calculate a range and keep the more conservative class.

  3. Read the planning class

    Calculate class and treat the headline as a class, not a product name. Matching examples below follow Dual, Growth, Starter, Pro, and Advanced.

  4. Compare official pages, then verify

    Open the official page for each example in that class. Confirm current specifications, dimensions, and terms. Decision Lantern does not quote a live price or complete an install review.

How does the wireless lavalier planner work?

It converts mic'd subjects into a planning class using a published rule. Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. The headline is a class such as Dual, Growth, Starter, Pro, and Advanced, not a vendor ranking.

Is DJI Mic 2 better than Rode Wireless GO II?

This page does not rank DJI Mic 2, Rode Wireless GO II, and Sennheiser EW-DP ME 2. DJI Mic 2 and Rode Wireless GO II are listed because they are real products with official pages that map to different or overlapping classes. The useful question is which class matches your inputs.

Can I treat the result as a buying recommendation?

Do the product links earn Decision Lantern a commission?

Not on the current preview. Links go to official manufacturer or service pages. If compensated links are added later, the disclosure on this page will say so in plain language.

What should I verify after I get a class?

Confirm the current specification, dimensions or plan limits, and any program terms on the official page. Manufacturer specifications and program terms can change and must be verified on official pages. The next editorial review for this page is due 2026-11-14.

Why these 3 examples?
