Polsen PL-5 Overview

The Polsen PL-5 is a replacement microphone for Polsen's ULW-16 wireless system. It is also compatible with other wireless transmitters with a standard 3.5mm microphone input, or devices that have a 3.5mm input with plug-in power.

Featuring an omnidirectional polar pattern, the PL-5 is optimized to accurately capture speech. It provides clear and natural sound ideal for ENG, EFP, and DSLR video applications. Because omnidirectional microphones are less susceptible to wind noise and vocal plosives (pops) than cardioid microphones, the PL-5 is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

The miniature 0.14" head diameter offers a variety of options for discreet microphone placement, allowing the PL-5 to be easily concealed on wardrobe or costumes without sacrificing sound quality. The PL-5 comes packaged with a tie clip for securing the mic to the talent's clothing, as well as a windscreen for further reducing wind noise and vocal plosives.

Will the rode invisilav fit this mic?

question

will this work with the ew100 g3 body pack?
Asked by: Anonymous
Never paired with ew100 g3 kit, but over all it does work good. Kept as a spare accessory if ever ew100 kit goes bad. Even recorded voice over on computer(pinky 3.5mm microphone in jack).good economic product.
