Compact Cardioid Lavalier Microphone for Clear Speech and Performance
The Audix L5 is a micro-sized cardioid lavalier microphone built for professional speech capture in theater, broadcast, live sound, and video production. Featuring a 5 mm condenser capsule and a low-profile design, it delivers focused vocal clarity while remaining discreet on camera or on stage. The included 3-foot mini-XLR cable allows direct connection to compatible wireless bodypack transmitters, making it a practical solution for presenters, performers, and AV professionals.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Feedback and Noise Control
Designed with a controlled cardioid polar pattern, the L5 reduces off-axis sound and helps limit background noise and feedback. This focused pickup makes it especially effective in live sound reinforcement environments such as houses of worship, corporate events, and theatrical productions. By concentrating on the speaker’s voice and rejecting surrounding noise, the L5 improves intelligibility and gain-before-feedback in challenging acoustic spaces.
5 mm Miniature Capsule for Discreet Placement
The L5’s ultra-compact 5 mm capsule allows for subtle placement on lapels, costumes, or clothing without drawing attention. Its small footprint is ideal for film, television, and stage applications where visibility must be minimized. Despite its size, the microphone maintains a wide frequency response and accurate transient detail, capturing speech naturally from a distance of approximately 4 to 8 inches.
Optimized for Wireless Bodypack Systems
Equipped with a 3-foot cable terminated in a mini-XLR connector, the L5 integrates seamlessly with Audix RAD360 wireless bodypack transmitters. The shorter cable length supports clean cable routing when the transmitter is worn on the belt or concealed in wardrobe. This configuration makes it well suited for wireless microphone systems used in conferences, interviews, theatrical performances, and live presentations.
Versatile for Speech and Close Instrument Miking
While engineered primarily for spoken word applications, the L5 can also be used for close miking acoustic instruments at distances of 1 to 2 inches. Its sensitivity and balanced frequency response make it suitable for capturing detailed audio in both live and recorded environments. Whether used for interviews, corporate presentations, stage dialogue, or video shoots, the L5 provides consistent and reliable performance.
Professional Audio Performance in a Lightweight Design
Built for repeated professional use, the L5 combines durability with lightweight construction. Its modular design and compatibility with wireless systems make it a dependable choice for rental inventories, touring productions, and permanent AV installations where clarity and reliability are critical.
