Designed for broadcast engineers, live production crews, and conference AV teams who need directional pickup in challenging acoustic environments, this cardioid lavalier microphone solves the noise rejection problem that omnidirectional mics cannot address. The CORE+ technology delivers unusually high definition speech reproduction with a natural 4–6 kHz presence boost, ensuring intelligibility in both studio and field applications without post-processing.

The pressure gradient capsule provides maximum side rejection while maintaining a compact 5.7 mm profile that remains discreet on camera. IP58-rated protection ensures reliable operation in demanding production environments, from outdoor broadcasts to high-humidity venues. The modular adapter system integrates seamlessly with professional wireless transmitters, while the included dual-color pop filters enable quick visual matching to wardrobe without equipment changes.

Built for professionals who demand consistent performance across multi-day shoots and touring productions, this lavalier handles 134 dB SPL peak without distortion—enough headroom for close-miked vocals and high-energy speaking. The 1.2 meter cable and reversible mounting design accommodate both left and right buttoned shirts, reducing setup time between talent changes.
