AKG EC82MD-BG - Ultra-lightweight Omnidirectional MicroLite Ear-Hook Microphone in Beige

The AKG EC82MD-BG is a MicroLite Series ear-hook microphone designed for theatre, broadcast, speech and presentation applications requiring maximum discretion, comfort and natural sound. It features a low-profile omnidirectional condenser capsule ( Ø 3.6 × 7.2 mm ) with a 20 Hz - 20 kHz response, 15 mV/Pa sensitivity , 63 dB(A) SNR and 145 dB max SPL . Its flexible earhook fits precisely into the ear, and the adjustable boom maintains the chosen position without shifting, even with busy performers. The design offers high moisture resistance and EMC shielding against interference, and is terminated with a Microdot connector for use with most wireless systems via adapters. This version is beige to blend discreetly with light-colored skin or clothing.

Technical note: In the MicroLite range, the EC82MD is the omnidirectional version; if you require cardioid directivity in ear-hook format, the corresponding model is the EC81MD .
