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.
- 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.
