Lectrosonics M152 Overview

The black Lectrosonics M152/SM5P is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone featuring a wide frequency response that accentuates the presence and character of the human voice. The mic offers a 3.3' cable and this version features a dust- and moisture-resistant rubber sleeve that protects the TA5F connector and complements the water-resistant characteristics of the SM Series transmitters. The TA5F connector is designed to work with any Lectrosonics transmitter with a TA5M input connector.

The M152's frequency response is measured at 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a slight rise around 10 kHz, resulting in a brighter, more "airy" response. A low-frequency roll-off around 50 Hz reduces noise caused by proximity effect and ambience. The omnidirectional polar pattern provides a generous response at both the direct and off-axis sections of the microphone capsule, helping to ensure consistent levels.

Locking TA5F Connector
Compatible Wireless Transmitters
  • Lectrosonics: Works with current and legacy Lectrosonics transmitter and recorder models equipped with a TA5M connector, including the following: SMWB, SMDWB, LMb, LT, MTCR, SPDR, SMV, SMQV, and DBu (TA5M version).
  • The M152/SM5P can also be used with third-party transmitters that are equipped to supply 1.3 to 10 VDC through a TA5M connector with a Lectrosonics servo-bias wiring configuration.
Moisture-Resistant Rubber Sleeve
The M152/SM5P features a rubber sleeve over the TA5F connector that is resistant to both dust and moisture, making it well suited to the water-resistant connectors used on the SM Series transmitters.
A Clear and Reliable Omnidirectional Lav Mic
Wide Frequency Response with Presence Boost
A wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range with a light low-end roll-off filter below 50 Hz along with a 2 to 3 dB presence boost in the 10 to 12 kHz range allows the M152 to provide crisp and accurate reproduction of speech and vocals.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech, even when the talent isn't speaking directly toward the microphone.
Headroom for Standard Speech Applications
The mic is designed to handle speech at levels up to 114 dB without distortion, enough headroom for most broadcast and presentation applications.
Tough Build Quality
The M152 has been designed to minimize mechanical noise and survive the rigors of on-set wear and tear to deliver accurate, dependable audio.

Letrosonics Made the best Lav Mic.

Much under rated microphone

Most of the folk I work with scoff at these give-away mics that come free when you buy a lectrosonics kit. I love them! Especially when talent walks away with them, steps on them, drops them in water... They are by far the best sonic quality mic at a bargain price-also their flat head design makes them one of the most easy lav style mikes to hide. I use them on reality tv shows and other situations where it is required to use hidden mics. They are not as robust as a higher priced mics, and they don't have the same sonic quality as their big brothers- but in applications where they will be exposed to wear and tear- this is a great solution.

Yes there is. The vampire clip for the Lectrosonics lav is actually the same one that works on the Tram. B&H # TRBCH.
