Lectrosonics M152/5P High-Performance Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, 5-Pin Plug

The Lectrosonics M152/5P is an outstanding omnidirectional lavalier microphone. It's designed for critical applications, featuring high performance with greatly reduced mechanical noise. With a wide and flat frequency response, it gets a 2 - 3 dB boost in the upper octaves for a crisper sound. Place the mic capsule in the middle of the talker's chest as high as possible. In windy situations, put it under a collar or thin clothing to cut down wind noise, though the sound may be a bit duller. Technical specs: Sensitivity is 10mV per Pascal or 100mV at 114 dB SPL. Impedance is 3 k (2 - 6 k). It has an omnidirectional polar pattern, a frequency range of 20 - 20,000 Hz, a max operating voltage of 10V, a standard operating voltage of 2V, a current consumption of 30uA at 1.3V, and a signal - to - noise ratio of over 38dB.

Using the Lectrosonics M152/5P is easy. First, find the best spot on the talker's chest, right in the middle and as high up as you can. This will give you the clearest sound. If it's windy outside, you can tuck the microphone under a collar or thin clothes. But remember, this might make the sound a bit less sharp. When it comes to power, make sure to keep the voltage within the standard range of 2V, and don't go over the max of 10V. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid dropping it or exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you take good care of it, this microphone will serve you well for a long time.
