Audix L5O — Omnidirectional Micro Lavalier Condenser Microphone
L5O Overview
The Audix L5O is a 5mm miniature omnidirectional condenser microphone engineered for professionals who require discreet, accurate audio capture in demanding environments. Designed for broadcast, live sound, theatrical production, speech, interview, and acoustic instrument applications including guitar and violin, the L5O delivers a smooth frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz in an ultra-compact form factor. Its modular, interchangeable threaded capsule system provides flexibility across a range of polar pattern requirements, with a cardioid variant available as the L5. The L5O is suited for audio engineers, system integrators, broadcast facilities, houses of worship, and touring productions requiring reliable, low-profile microphone solutions.
The L5O is compatible with Audix wireless systems as well as hard-wired vocal and instrument applications, and its machined brass body with matte black finish ensures durability alongside a discreet visual profile on stage or camera.
