I just bought one of RØDE's SmartLav lapel microphones, and thought I'd give it a test. Here's what I did:

I plugged it into my iPhone, and recorded a video using the FiLMiC Pro video app. Then in Final Cut X, I raised the volume of the audio by 5dBs. I also increased the Loudness setting - amount - 40% and uniformity - 6%. And I set the Background Noise Removal setting at 5%.

All that did improve the quality of the audio a bit, but still - I was nicely surprised by a strong, usable audio signal right from the beginning. Sweet!
