Its lightweight and flexible design allows for easy mounting to either the left or right side, adapting seamlessly to the wearer's preference.

Moreover, the IP58 certification guarantees that the microphone is built to withstand the rigors of live use, thanks to its water-repellent nano-coating, hermetic amplifier sealing, and dual gold-plated diaphragm.
The directional nature of the cardioid microphone ensures that your voice is captured with fidelity and detail, ideal for live stages and spoken-word events where precision is key.
