eXtreme Lavalier Microphone VT500X, black
Product
It is no coincidence that the VT500X, the hero of the VT500/506 series, has an X in its name, because X stands for eXtreme!
The VT500X is the lavalier microphone for extreme production environments! Tropical weather, salt water and dust cannot harm the VT500X. The microphone is waterproof to IPX-8 (1m under water for 24 hours) and has a sensitivity of max. -79dB, which requires particularly powerful pre-amplification. The VT500X also has a particularly robust cable.
Thanks to injection moulding, the microphone is extremely robust and shock-resistant. The cable is moulded directly into the capsule housing, which makes it virtually impossible to pull out.
The RF-protected microphone capsule prevents interference from RF signals and the particularly flexible connection cable ensures that handling noise is eliminated.
Voice Technolgies lavaliers come as pigtail with no connector. Ask price for desired connector attached.
