VT500 - Omnidirectional
Sometimes known by its nickname ‘The Streetcar’ (although not invented by Benjamin Outram!), the VT500 has an extremely smooth omnidirectional pattern control over a wide frequency range. It is designed for performing talent in broadcast, theatre, film, public address and sound reinforcement and other similar applications. Speech clarity is enhanced by a slight frequency emphasis giving excellent voice reproduction while eliminating placement constraints. Due to the unique design of the VT500, noise transmission from handling and clothing movement is kept at a minimum. An integral filter provides efficient RF suppression. The cable is smooth, rugged, sweat proof and has excellent isolation from rubbing noise. VT500 has a maximum sensitivity of -59dB.
Polar pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 40Hz-20kHz. Impedance: 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable: 1.5m.
VT500ECO - Omnidirectional, economy version
This lavalier microphone has been designed for use in broadcast, theatre and film. VT500ECO is encased in a injection moulded outer that is both 'rugged and shockproof'. The microphone capsule is also RF protected whilst a slightly emphasised frequency response allows for better voice reproduction. VT500ECO is packaged with an alligator clip and windscreen and can be transported using the included transparent plastic box.
Polar pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 40Hz-20kHz. Impedance: 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable: 1.5m.
VT500WATER - Omnidirectional, IPX7 rated
VT500Water is manufactured with a special injection moulding treatment to allow it to be completely, temporarily submerged in water (including sea-water) without damage. This makes it particularly suitable for live broadcast and production, as well as sports events, where the user may be drenched or temporarily submerged. Water resistance rating IPX7. Maximum sensitivity of -59dB.
Polar pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 40Hz-20kHz. Impedance: 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions : 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable: 1.5m.
VT500WA WATER ADVENTURE - Omnidirectional, IPX7 rated with reinforced cable
VT500WA Water Adventure has the same audio and IPX-7 properties as the VT500WATER however it has a reinforced cable to protect against 'sweat, cuts, and tearing', and has therefore been designed for more punishing day-to-day sports, outdoor, or heavy use applications.
Polar pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 40Hz-20kHz. Impedance: 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable length: 1.5m. Cable diameter: 1.5mm. Weight: 7g
VT500X EXTREME - Omnidirectional, IPX8 rated
VT500X EXTREME has the similar audio properties as the VT500WATER however it has IPX8 certified rating and can therefore be submerged up to 1m for 24 hours. A reinforced cable to protect against 'sweat, cuts, and tearing', and has therefore been designed for more punishing day-to-day sports, outdoor, or heavy use applications. VT500X eXtreme has a maximum sensitivity of -79dB.
Polar pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 40Hz-20kHz. Impedance: 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 13 x 7 x3.5mm. Cable: 1.5m.
