Audix L5OP Micro-Sized Lavalier Microphone

Professional Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Broadcast and Live Sound

The Audix L5OP is a micro-sized omnidirectional lavalier microphone engineered for broadcast, theater, presentations, and video production. Featuring a compact 5 mm condenser capsule, it captures natural, open sound with excellent transient response. Designed for both wireless and wired operation, this lav mic includes an 8-foot mini-XLR cable for use with compatible bodypack transmitters and an XLR phantom power adapter for direct connection to mixers and audio interfaces.

Omnidirectional Pickup for Natural and Transparent Audio

The omnidirectional polar pattern provides consistent sound capture from all directions, making it ideal for situations where head movement is frequent. This design produces a smooth, open-air sound that accurately reproduces speech and subtle vocal detail. Because it does not rely on tight directional focus, the L5OP delivers stable audio levels and reduced proximity effect, making it well suited for interviews, panel discussions, theatrical dialogue, and on-camera presentations.

Miniature 5 mm Capsule for Discreet Placement

With a capsule measuring just 5 mm, the L5OP remains visually unobtrusive when clipped to clothing. The low-profile form factor blends easily into wardrobe for film, broadcast, and stage use. Despite its small size, the capsule maintains a wide frequency response and strong sensitivity, allowing clear vocal capture at typical speaking distances of 4–8 inches, or close placement on acoustic instruments at 1–2 inches.

Wired and Wireless Flexibility for Professional Systems

The included 8-foot cable terminates in a mini-XLR connector for compatibility with Audix RAD360 wireless bodypack transmitters. For hardwired installations or studio setups, the supplied XLR phantom power adapter enables direct connection to mixing consoles, powered speakers, and recording interfaces. This modular configuration supports corporate AV systems, houses of worship, educational facilities, and content creation environments.

Optimized for Speech, Theater, and Instrument Capture

Engineered for articulate speech reproduction, the L5OP performs well in live sound reinforcement and recorded environments. Its balanced frequency response and low noise characteristics make it suitable for broadcast studios, conference rooms, stage performances, and video shoots. The omnidirectional capsule also works effectively for ambient room miking and close instrument capture where natural tonal balance is required.

Compact Construction with Professional Reliability

Built for demanding production schedules, the L5OP combines lightweight design with dependable audio performance. Its modular connectivity and durable components make it practical for rental inventories, touring productions, and permanent AV installations. Whether used for live presentations or recorded media, this lavalier microphone provides consistent, professional-grade results.
