[USA] Lectrosonics (booth C5307) has announced the launch of the L1 Sub-Miniature Lavalier Microphone, born from a collaboration within the Freedman Group and featuring the Sonaura capsule technology.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the L1 lies the Sonaura capsule, the result of a five-year, $10m research investment. Manufactured by semiconductor leader Infineon, this studio-grade MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) silicon technology replaces traditional FET-based designs with a patented encapsulated diaphragm.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional capsules that can vary significantly between batches, the L1\u2019s silicon fabrication \u2018ensures unprecedented precision\u2019. Every L1 unit is matched in both sensitivity and frequency response to within 0.5dB, offering production mixers and sound designers absolute repeatability across multiple talent microphones.<\/p>\n
Designed for the harshest production environments, the L1 is fundamentally impervious to moisture. The combination of the Sonaura capsule\u2019s inherent properties, a specialised hydrophobic internal coating, and hydrostatic pressure-sealing via 0.4mm laser-drilled cap ports allows the microphone to remain functional even while completely submerged.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe L1 is the culmination of the acoustic expertise of the Freedman Group, the cutting-edge manufacturing of Infineon, and Lectrosonics\u2019 rich audio electronics heritage,\u201d says Karl Winkler, EVP of product and sales at Lectrosonics. \u201cBy leveraging MEMS technology, we\u2019ve moved beyond the physical limitations of traditional microphones to give our users a tool that is more consistent, more robust, and quieter than anything previously possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lectrosonics L1 is available in Q2 in black with a LEMO connector, with white, brown, and beige colours and 5-pin connector variants following later in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[USA] Lectrosonics (booth C5307) has announced the launch of the L1 Sub-Miniature Lavalier Microphone, born from a collaboration…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-408075","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
