The Movo Photo LV4-C is a cardioid lavalier microphone designed for use with XLR-equipped devices that can supply 48V phantom power, making it a cost-effective solution for capturing clear speech directly to your professional camcorder, mixer adapter, or portable digital recorder. With its compact condenser capsule and cardioid polar pattern, the LV4-C provides directional sound pickup while reducing background noise.

Since it handles SPLs up to 120 dB, the LV4-C can effectively capture loud sound sources without distortion. The mic employs a 6' cable to allow sufficient distance between the camera and the subject without having to coil up a bunch of excess cabling. The balanced XLR 3-pin male output provides a sturdy connection to your recording device. The supplied foam windscreen mitigates noise from breaths and rustling of clothes while remaining visually discreet.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. one mic is louder than the other. is there anyway to fix this?

A: Make sure that both microphones are connected to the mic input (not the line input) on each of the transmitters. Since the WMX-1-DUO system does not have individual level controls for each transmitter and people do tend to speak at different volume levels, try experimenting with placement of the microphones on each person wearing a mic. Try moving the mic closer to the mouth of the person whose volume is lower or move the mic further away from the mouth of the person whose volume is louder. If you find that there is still an usual difference between the output levels of each mic, please contact us for further assistance so we can do additional troubleshooting to determine whether there may be a problem with one of the mics or transmitters..

Q: 9. How do I connect a single or pair of these mics to a Sony A7VR or Sony equivalent camera?

A: The Sennheiser MKH 8020 Compact Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone require an XLR to XLR cable and 48V phantom power to function. The Sony a7R V Mirrorless Camera has a 3.5mm mic input as well as the Multi Interface Shoe. In order to connect and power either one or two of the MKH 8020 mics to the camera you will need to use a separate active XLR adapter/mixer or an external recorder. One of the best options is the Sony XLR-K3M Dual-Channel Digital XLR Audio Adapter Kit with Shotgun Microphone which connects to the camera using a cable-free digital connection through the Multi-Interface Shoe. Another option is the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-AN XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for Cameras (B&H # TACAXLR2DAN) which will connect through the camera's 3.5mm mic input. The Comica Audio CVM-AX3 Dual-Channel Audio Mixer for DSLRs (B&H # COCVMAX3) is a budget-friendly alternative that will also connect through the camera's 3.5mm mic input. The three adapters mentioned all have two channels with phantom power which will allow you to connect both mics at the same time.
