Capture clear, natural sounding speech and dialog with the Polsen PL-5-MKII. This lavalier microphone features a miniature 0.14" head that's easy to conceal for video, live theater, and presentation applications where a hands-free solution is required. A replacement microphone for Polsen's ULW-16 wireless system, the PL-5-MKII is also compatible with other wireless transmitters equipped with a standard 3.5mm microphone input as well as recording devices that have a 3.5mm input with plug-in power. This second-generation model offers an upgraded microphone capsule and improved shielding for wider compatibility with today's most popular digital wireless microphone systems.
The mic's omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all directions around the capsule, making it easy to place on talent and allowing for natural head movement when shooting news and dialog or addressing an audience. In addition, the omnidirectional polar pattern is less susceptible to wind noise and vocal plosives (pops) than a directional microphone. The electret-condenser capsule can handle up to 135 dB of volume, providing plenty of headroom for loud dialog and passionate performances.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The omnidirectional pickup pattern is ideal for video applications because it offers flexible placement options and allows for head movement without affecting the sound. Your talent can move freely while you're shooting dialog or recording news events, and it makes the microphone less susceptible to picking up wind noise and vocal plosives (pops).
With a tiny 0.14" head diameter, the miniature PL-5-MKII provides a variety of options for discreet microphone placement. It's ideal for film and video production because it's easy to conceal on clothing and props or in hair.
The PL-5-MKII features a 3.5mm TS mini plug connector and is a replacement microphone for the ULW-16 wireless system. It is also compatible with other transmitters and recording devices that are able to supply plug-in power for the electret-condenser capsule through a 3.5mm audio input jack.
Optimized with a frequency response tailored to accurately capture speech, the PL-5-MKII provides a clear and natural sound that's superior to a camera's built-in microphone. You'll be able to step up your production value with presenters and narrators up-front and present in your mix.
