Audix L5 Cardioid Micro Lavalier Condenser Microphone — Miniature Modular Capsule Design
L5 Overview
The Audix L5 is a 5mm miniature cardioid condenser microphone built for professionals who require discreet, high-quality audio capture in demanding environments. Designed for use with Audix wireless systems as well as hard-wired applications, the L5 is well-suited for broadcast, live sound, theatrical production, speech, interview, and acoustic instrument miking including guitar and violin. Its modular, interchangeable threaded capsule system provides flexibility across polar patterns, with the L5O variant offering an omnidirectional capsule and a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
