Frequently asked questions
Which is better for theater productions?
The LC82 MD is purpose-built for theater—its tiny capsule and 5.3-gram weight make it virtually invisible under makeup or costume, and the omnidirectional pattern captures natural voice without phase issues from body movement.
Which is better for live band or venue performance?
The DMSTetrad Vocal Set D5 suits live venues better because it offers wireless freedom, a supercardioid capsule that rejects stage noise and feedback, and studio-quality 24-bit audio. The LC82 MD requires a wired connection, limiting mobility.
What is the key audio-pattern difference?
The LC82 MD uses an omnidirectional pattern that picks up sound equally from all directions, ideal for natural theater dialogue. The DMSTetrad's supercardioid D5 capsule is highly directional, rejecting off-axis sound and feedback—essential for loud venues.
Why does the DMSTetrad cost more and mention B-Stock?
The DMSTetrad is a complete wireless system with receiver, transmitter, digital audio processing, and encryption—significantly more complex than a passive wired lavalier. B-Stock indicates it is new but may have minor cosmetic wear or open-box condition, offering savings on professional-grade wireless gear.
