Pliant Technologies PHS-LAV-DM
The PHS-LAV-DM is Pliant's discreet talk-and-listen rig for MicroCom, pairing a clip-on lavalier microphone with a clear acoustic eartube instead of a visible headset. The omnidirectional condenser electret capsule clips to your collar and picks up your voice from any head position, while the coiled clear tube feeds audio into the ear almost invisibly, which is why this style shows up on presenters, security, and on-camera crew who cannot wear a boom.
A single dual-mini 3.5 mm TRRS plug connects it to any MicroCom beltpack, carrying both the mic and the earpiece on one lead. The whole assembly weighs just 1.8 oz and runs 62.2 in from clip to connector, so there is enough length to route the cable under clothing. It ships with the headset and two replacement earbud tips.
