The Louroe LE-510 Verifact AGC Ceiling Microphonefrom Louroe LE-510 Verifact AGC Ceiling Microphoneis an omnidirectional, low impedance, electret condenser microphone with built-inpreamp and automatic gain control. It is compatible with all Louroe Audio Base Stations and Audio Interface Adapters.

The microphone can pick up sounds approximately 25' away, or within a diameter of 50'. Its built-in limiter prevents the output signal from being overdriven, thus minimizing distortion. The Verifact AGC produces line level output (0 dB) and can be located up to 1000' from the audio base station. The microphone has a potentiometer to adjust output gain up to +10 dB. It is designed for ceiling mounting but can also be installed on any type of flat surface.

This device is not recommended for outdoor use or in areas with high moisture content.

Q: 1. Just curious, Does anyone have one that is immensely stinky? I have one that for years now has smelled like intense smoke like smoked meat with rubber. It stinks up a camera bag so i have to put in in a ziplock bag if i take it anywhere.

A: that never happen to me. Mine is working Perfect

Q: 2. Does the Sony E 18-200 SEL18200LE lens have a separate manual focus ring?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 3. Is this a better mic for capturing dialogue than the MKE600 ?

A: The NTG4+ and MKE 600 are comparable in terms of performance and audio quality. You should get similar results using either mic, so it's really a matter of personal preference.

Q: 4. Does this lens come with a hood?

A: This lens comes with front and back caps and the hood.

Q: 5. The bracket seems like you must have the shoe devices to the right of the camera where the shutter would be. This seems un-initiative. Is there a different part number where the cold shoes are rotated to allow for left sided operation?

A: If you rotate the bracket to the other side of the camera, you must slide the device into it from front to back instead of the usual back to front. This isn't a problem for the mic and external GPS that I use it for, but might be if your device's shoe mount is designed to work only if you slide it into the shoe in a forward direction.

Q: 6. Does this comes with the latest firmware update that allows Hybrid AF (nex-6, a6000, etc.)?

A: Unfortunately manufacturers do not indicate what firmware products arrive to us with, and we do not have the ability to inspect before shipping to confirm. In many cases from the time the product ships from overseas, to the time it takes to arrive to you, a new firmware version could be introduced, so we always recommend checking your device with the manufacturers website once you receive it to see if it is running the latest version. If a newer version is being offered it is very easy to update directly on the manufacturer's website.

Q: 7. What do I need to mount this to a tripod?

A: You do not need anything else.

Q: 8. What is the difference between this mic and the Verifact E LE-075?

A: The microphone has Electronic Gain control which allows you to control how sensitive the microphone is. The LE-075 does not have that.

Q: 9. How can this microphone claim so much greater directionality (down 14 dB at 60 degrees off-axis) than other shotgun microphones of similar physical length. Is it a typo?

A: The physical length alone does not determine directinality. It is the overal design and engineering that achieves this specification.
