Lavalier Mic

(noun)

A lavalier microphone or lavalier (or lav or lapel mic) is a small electret (electric, magnet) or dynamic microphone used for television, theater, and public speaking applications, in order to allow hands-free operation.

Examples of Lavalier Mic in the following topics:

  • Volume

    • Hand-held mics - High quality mics usually attempt to isolate the diaphragm from vibrations using foam padding, suspension, or some other method.
    • Lavalier mics - These are attached by a small clip to the clothing of the speaker, usually to collars or ties.
    • Stationary mics - These are permanently attached to a podium.
    • Don't just use whatever mic is at hand.
    • Note that lavalier mics do not usually have protection from handling noise.

  • Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)

    • There are also several commercial methods available to experimentally measure MIC values.
    • An MIC is generally regarded as the most basic laboratory measurement of the activity of an antimicrobial agent against an organism.
    • Because a lower MIC value indicates that less of the drug is required in order to inhibit growth of the organism, drugs with lower MIC scores are more effective antimicrobial agents.
    • Currently, there are a few web-based, freely accessible MIC databases.
    • Therefore, MIC scores aid in improving outcomes for patients and preventing evolution of drug-resistant microbial strains.

  • Small Regulatory RNAs

    • For example, the small regulatory RNAs, MicC, and MicF, are able to regulate expression of outer membrane proteins (OmpC and OmpF) which function in controlling transport of metabolites and toxins.

  • Kirby-Bauer Disk Susceptibility Test

    • The size of a zone of inhibition in a KB test is inversely related to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the amount of antibiotic required to prevent bacterial growth in an overnight culture.
    • The MIC (in µg/ml) can be calculated from known standard-curve (linear regression) graphs based on the diameter of the observed inhibition zone diameter (in millimeters).

  • Antibiotic Classifications

    • The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) is the minimum concentration of drug which can inhibit the growth of the microorganism.

  • Antimicrobial Peptides

    • In general the antimicrobial activity of these peptides is determined by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest concentration of drug that inhibits bacterial growth.

  • Antimicrobial Proteins

    • In general the antimicrobial activity of these peptides is determined by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), which is the lowest concentration of drug that inhibits bacterial growth, which is an indicator of the antimicrobial strength of that peptide.
