Voice Technologies VT500X MKII Extreme Necklace Omnidirectional Neck-Worn Lavalier Condenser Microphone (TA5 Female Connector)

Designed for capturing crystal-clear audio in some of the most extreme environments, the Voice Technologies VT500X MKII Necklace is an omnidirectional lavalier mic featuring a rugged IPX8 rating for rigorous protection from water, salt, and humidity, a shock-resistant capsule, and a robust neck-worn cable that resists tearing, cutting, or welding. With an RF filter, this mic resists unwanted interference.

The flexible cable helps to avoid pesky handling noises when adjusting the mic or moving. Despite its rugged features, the VT500X sacrifices none of the sensitivity of the VT500WA, offering a wide 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a sensitivity of -42 dB. With the optional VT1126 adapter (sold separately), you can power the VT500X MKII via phantom power and an XLR connection. The VT500X MKII is made in Switzerland and includes carrying box.

Rugged and Comfortable Necklace Design

The VT500X-MKII Necklace was originally developed for use in a reality TV show that was shot in an demanding and wet environment. The microphone is integrated into a necklace made of a durable yet comfortable rubber material. The necklace lav mic offers high sweat resistance while remaining easy to clean, all without sacrificing the high sensitivity and audio quality of the original VT500WA.

Built for Extreme Environments

The VT500X-MKII is the lavalier microphone for extreme production environments. Tropical weather, salt water, and dust cannot harm the VT500X-MKII. The microphone is waterproof to IPX8 (3.2' underwater for 24 hours). The VT500X-MKII also has a particularly robust cable. Thanks to injection molding, the microphone is extremely robust and shock resistant. The cable is molded directly into the capsule housing, which makes it virtually impossible to pull out.
