Power Dynamics PDT1 - Unidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Mini-XLR Connection

The Power Dynamics PDT1 is a lavalier microphone designed to deliver clear, crisp, and professional voice capture in a wide variety of applications. Its high-sensitivity capsule and extended frequency response ensure that every nuance of the voice is reproduced with exceptional fidelity, from the lowest to the highest tones. This microphone is the ideal solution for use with wireless systems, specifically designed to be compatible with Power Dynamics bodypack transmitters that use a 3-pin mini-XLR connection, such as the 179.135 model.

Its compact and lightweight design allows for discreet placement under clothing, making it virtually unnoticeable in video productions, conferences, or live performances. The unidirectional polar pattern is one of its most outstanding features, as it focuses on capturing sound directly from the source (the speaker), effectively minimizing unwanted background noise. This results in cleaner, more intelligible speech, even in noisy environments. The flexible cable provides user comfort and durability for extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wireless systems is this microphone compatible with?
The Power Dynamics PDT1 is specifically designed to be compatible with bodypack transmitters that use a 3-pin mini-XLR input, such as the Power Dynamics referenced 179.135 system.

What does it mean for the microphone to be "unidirectional"?
This means the microphone primarily picks up sound coming from a specific direction (the front), while largely rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. This helps isolate the voice and reduce ambient noise.

Does this microphone require any external power supply?
It does not require a separate power supply. It receives the necessary power to operate (bias power) directly from the transmitter pack to which it is connected.

Does the microphone include accessories such as a tie clip or windscreen?
Yes, typically lavalier microphones like the PDT1 include a clip to attach it to clothing and a foam windscreen to reduce wind noise or popping ("p" and "b" sounds).
