The LC81 MD reference lightweight cardioid lavalier microphone makes a name for itself by not stealing the show. With an optimal diameter and length, the LC81 MD won't weigh down lengthy performances - in fact, the stars will hardly know, that it's there. But that's just its size. When it comes to sound, its sensitive cardioid polar pattern picks up a wide range of frequencies - from bass to soprano - and provides flexibility in getting the perfect sound from the source. Placed close to the performer, it accurately picks up low-end frequencies, place it farther away for performances in a higher range.
