SOMETIMES THE
BEST THINGS
AKG is pleased to introduce the MicroLite series, the most discreet line of reference microphones
available. They’re tiny, but the sound they produce is far from it. Ready for the most demanding
broadcast, theater, and conference applications, the MicroLite series delivers every bit of
audio perfection you’ve come to expect from the legendary brand—now in a miniature, barely
noticeable format.

LAVALIER MICROPHONES
LET THE STAR STAND OUT,
NOT THE MICROPHONE
The LC81 MD makes a name for itself by not stealing the show. With a diameter of only 4.8 mm (0.19”), and a length
of 15.7 mm (0.62”), it’s one of the smallest cardioid lavaliers available. And at only 4.9 g (0.17 oz, including cable
and connector), the LC81 MD won’t weigh down lengthy performances – in fact, the stars will hardly know that it’s
there. But that’s just its size. When it comes to sound, its sensitive cardioid polar pattern picks up a wide range of
frequencies—from bass to soprano—and provides exibility in getting the best sound from the source. Placed close
to the performer, it accurately picks up low-end frequencies; place it farther away for performances in a higher range.
Available in four colors, the LC81 MD is inconspicuous on every user.
GO AHEAD,
SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
As one of the smallest omnidirectional microphones in the world, the LC82 MD takes pride in outperforming mics
many times its size. With a diameter of only 3 mm (0.12”) and a length of 15 mm (0.59”), it’s ready to take on the biggest
stages without making a scene. Ideal for musicals, theater, churches, broadcast and large-format presentations, the
LC82 MD also ensures that moisture and makeup won’t dampen a performance. Thanks to its moisture-resis-
tant design, you can run, jump, leap and bound across the stage at full force without worrying about technical
complications due to sweat. Available in four colors, the LC82 MD complements every performer.

ACCESSORIES
For full exibility with your MicroLite microphone, easily switch to a wired
application by adding the phantom power adapter with Microdot input and
XLR output. The adapter features a switchable low-cut and phase shifter.
PHANTOM POWER ADAPTER
The MicroLite line offers two different lavalier clips—a standard “crocodile”
clip (H2 croco) and a magnetic clip (H1 magnet) with matched color. Instead
of holding the microphone on its delicate cable, each clip connects to the
housing, ensuring a tight hold as well as protecting the cable from breaking.
In addition, the H3 croco cable clip can be used on all MicroLite microphones,
and helps to position the cable close to the body.
LAVALIER CLIPS AND MORE
ADAPTERS FOR BROAD COMPATIBILITY
All MicroLite microphones feature a cable with a Microdot connector.
Microdot is compatible with a variety of different connections, as well as all
major manufactures of wireless microphone systems (AKG,
,
®
Audio-Technica,®
Beyerdynamic
, Lectrosonics,
®
Sennheiser and Shure®*) by using the respective
adapter.** This gives you the exibility to integrate MicroLite into a variety of
environments, and customize your system for optimal performance.

MICROLITE
Every microphone in the MicroLite Series is a star performer, ready to deliver great sound under the most intense
conditions. All can be used without protection, or with a wire-mesh protection cap (WM81 and WM82). The special
cap protects the membrane from wind and pop noise as well as dirt, such as makeup or dust.
WIRE-MESH PROTECTION CAPS
If your performance requires even more protection from the elements (e.g. in a windy outdoor venue), you can simply
place an additional foam windscreen (W81 or W82) on the wire-mesh protection cap. It increases the size of the
microphone by only a fraction, and produces clean sound in challenging environments.
FOAM WINDSCREEN FOR GREATER PROTECTION
Even when the drama heats up, you don’t need to worry about sweat or make-up damaging your microphone. We’ve
included a patented perspiration protector, which breaks the surface tension of liquids to safeguard the capsule.
We strongly recommend using this protector on cardioid microphones, as they are especially sensitive.
PERSPIRATION PROTECTION
To protect the capsule during make-up application, simply place the MUP81 or MUP82 over
the capsule housing, and remove it afterward.
