AKG’s MicroLite series of miniature wearable reference microphones are aimed at broadcast, theatre and conference applications, and includes lavalier, ear-hook and headworn options.
The result of extensive research and development, MicroLite also delivers broad compatibility, excellent moisture resistance and EMC immunity: ‘Beyond great sound quality, we spent considerable time on every aspect of the design,’ says AKG Marketing Director, Karam Kaul. ‘From ear-hook and headworn models that users can adjust on their own, to multiple layers of protection against moisture, these mics deliver superior performance in demanding applications.’
The LC81 MD is the smallest cardioid lavalier microphone on the market. It has a diameter of 4.8mm, a length of 10mm, and a weight of 2g. The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern provides flexibility in miking, while four colour options allow it to be made inconspicuous.
The LC82 MD omni-directional lavalier microphone has a diameter of 3mm and a length of 6.5mm, making it one of the smallest omnidirectional mics available. Well suited to musicals, theatre, churches, broadcast and large-format presentations, the LC82 MD is also resistant to moisture and makeup. Like the LC81 MD, the LC82 MD is available in four colours.
Similar to their lavalier counterparts, the EC81 MD and EC82 MD ear-hook microphones provide additional options for theatre, broadcast, musical performances and conferences. They are engineered for accurate, specific placement. Each offers a flexible ear-hook and adjustable boom length for comfort, while users can choose between a cardioid (EC81 MD) or omnidirectional (EC82 MD) model. The EC82 MD also features a highly moisture-resistant design. Both microphones are available in two colours.
For a more stable fit, the HC81 MD and HC82 MC omni-directional headworn microphones offer cardioid and omni-directional polar patterns, respectively. Featuring flexible ear-hooks and an adjustable boom, they both make it easy for wearers to customise the fit to their liking. Each microphone is available in two colours, and the HC82 MC features a moisture-resistant design.
All MicroLite microphones feature a cable with a Microdot connector, which is compatible with a variety of different connections, as well as all major manufacturers of wireless microphone systems. This provides the flexibility to integrate the MicroLite microphones into a variety of environments, and customise the system. They are also a complement to AKG wireless systems such as the DMS800, and can be easily integrated with products from other Harman brands.
A variety of accessories are also available with the MicroLite series, including wire-mesh protection caps, foam windscreens, phantom power adapters, lavalier clips, and perspiration and makeup protectors.
