Description

The TL46 is a clip-on lavalier built around a dual-diaphragm capsule that gives it about twice the surface area of other subminiature microphones. This is intended to deliver a natural sound with solid low-frequency response, consistent pickup when the speaker moves or turns, and low self-noise with wide dynamic range. Its high-sensitivity output suits dialogue and medium-SPL sources.

The capsule uses interchangeable frequency caps with a superhydrophobic nanoscopic coating, intended to prevent sweat-outs. The 1.6 mm cable can be painted to match skin or costume, resists kinking and memory effect, and has a dual redundant ground that acts as a secondary shield.

The microphone is offered in white, tan, cocoa and black. Connector options are LEMO (1-pin, 6-pin and LEMO3) and MTQG/TA4F for use with various wireless transmitters. Clips, mounts, windscreens, replacement caps, connector kits and a storage case are sold separately.
