AKG has released its new MicroLite series of miniature wearable reference microphones at the 2016 Winter NAMM show. Offering high sound quality and durability in a tiny and discrete package, this series is ideal for broadcast, film, performing arts, and conference environments. Including lavalier, ear-hook, and headworn options, all models in the MicroLite series offer comfort, flexibility, and high levels of moisture protection.
The LC81 MD, AKG says, is one of the smallest cardioid lavalier microphones available. It features a diameter of 4.8mm, a length of 10mm, and a weight of 2g. The cardioid pattern picks up a wide range of frequencies and provides flexibility for hidden placement. It comes available in four colors.
The LC82 MD omni-directional lavalier microphone has a diameter of 3mm and a length of 6.5mm. Ideal for musicals, theater, churches, broadcast and large-format presentations, the LC82 MD also protects against moisture and makeup. Like the LC81 MD, the LC82 MD is available in four colors.
For further wireless compatibility, the EC81 MD and EC82 MD microphones offer 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 colors.
For a more stable fit, the HC81 MD and HC82 MC headworn models deliver options in both cardioid and omni-directional formats respectively. Featuring flexible ear-hooks and an adjustable boom for comfort and placement, each microphone is available in two colors 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.
