Electro-Voice RE97LTx Beige - Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with TA4F Connector

The Electro-Voice RE97LTx BEIGE is a subminiature lavalier microphone designed for clear, natural voice capture in professional spoken-word applications. Its back-electret condenser capsule with an omnidirectional polar pattern delivers a consistent response even when the speaker moves, maintaining intelligibility and a balanced timbre. Thanks to its ultra-discreet form factor—a capsule only 3 mm in diameter and 7 mm in length—and beige finish, it blends easily into clothing and skin to blend seamlessly into theater, broadcast, and corporate events.

It features a 1.22 m shielded cable with a Switchcraft TA4F connector , directly compatible with Electro-Voice and Telex bodypack transmitters and adaptable to other systems with appropriate wiring. It includes a double clothing clip and two windscreens (long and short) to reduce wind and breath noise. Alternatively, it can be used with the optional TXA to XLR adapter for wired applications with phantom power.
