Lectrosonics WM/VT500WATER-19, WATER-TIGHT TX WITH VT500WATER LAV MIC UPGRADE

The Lectrosonics WM/VT500WATER-19 is a Belt-Pack Transmitter with Lavalier Mic which is designed and built for wet or dusty environments. It features an O-ring sealed battery compartment and input jack, a compression sealed antenna port, and a gasket sealed control panel and back cover. It can be used when paired with a wireless receiver for capturing audio in broadcast TV, ENG (Electronic Field Productions), and EFP (Electronic Field Production) applications, and more. The Lectrosonics WM/VT500WATER-19 has a Dual AA batteries that give twice the operating time of earlier watertight transmitter designs and the larger membrane switches and control panel have a highly visible backlit LCD, which enhances the user interface. In addition, there are 50, 100, or 200 mW selectable-output power switches to maximize battery life and operating range. Some other features include servo bias input circuitry with selectable voltage for compatibility with other microphones, and programmable compatibility mode for use with a wide variety of different receivers. The Lectrosonics WM/VT500WATER-19 transmitter is enclosed in a machined-aluminum corrosion resistant housing and includes a Lectrosonics M152/WP omnidirectional lavalier mic, a belt clip, an O-Ring kit, and two AA lithium batteries.
