Any mics I have on a stand, 57s, decent condensers, whatever, if you touch it, it picks up the sound. If you rubbed fabric near the capsule it will definitely pick up the sound. Wiggling the cable will make a sound. But lav mics have a wire dangling down while the person moves, the mic is constantly moving, fabric is rubbing on it, and sometimes it's even placed inside a shirt or jacket so it isn't seen by cameras. How do they not pick up contact sound all the time and if they do, how does everyone manage it?

I obviously haven't used one.

Whatever tech they have to deal with that, why don't they put that tech in every mic?
