4080 Cardioid Lavalier Mic

While our miniature omnidirectional mics are ideal for situations where a broad pickup pattern is essential and off-axis noise is not a problem, in some challenging acoustic environments a directional microphone is the better choice.

Coming with CORE+ and MicroLock in Q3 2025.
