XVive LV2 Prof Lavalier Microphone

The Xvive LV2 lavalier mic uses an omnidirectional pickup pattern, capturing sound evenly from all directions. This serves both to make placement easy and to keep the tone consistent, even when the performer is on the move. Its frequency range spans 50Hz to 20kHz, and it can handle up to 123.5dB SPL. Sensitivity sits at around -40 dB, with an impedance of 4.5 kΩ and a self‑noise level of roughly 28dB SPL. The 1.6m cable gives artists plenty of room to work with, while the feather‑light 14g build means they'll soon forget they're wearing it. A clip for secure mounting and a windscreen to tame unwanted noise are included too.

Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
