Self-Powered XLR Lavalier

The Movo LVM-XLR1 is a self-powered omnidirectional lavalier microphone that connects via a 3-pin XLR plug. It draws power from a single LR44 battery so it does not need phantom power from the recorder or mixer. A 9.2 foot cable gives the wearer freedom of movement during broadcasts, studio sessions or instrument recording. The electret condenser capsule delivers a frequency response of 35Hz to 20KHz.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This microphone suits presenters, broadcasters and videographers who need a discreet clip-on mic that works with any XLR input without phantom power. The omnidirectional pattern keeps tonal balance consistent when the speaker turns their head. Users who require a directional pickup to reject off-axis sound in noisy environments should look at a cardioid lavalier instead. Anyone needing wireless operation or a connector other than XLR will need a different system.

Sensitivity specification

The published sensitivity is -24dB, which determines how much signal the microphone produces for a given sound pressure level. Matching this figure to the gain range of your recorder or mixer decides whether the LVM-XLR1 will deliver a healthy level without excessive preamp gain or overload. Check your device's input specifications against this number before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Which lavalier should I choose for a 3-pin XLR input without phantom power?

The LVM-XLR1 is self-powered by an LR44 battery so it plugs straight into any 3-pin XLR input that does not supply phantom power.

What does the 35 Hz to 20 kHz response mean in practice?

It captures deep lows and crisp highs across the full audible range with a ±3 dB tolerance, giving natural speech and instrument tone.

How does the XLR connector limit cable length?

The balanced 3-pin XLR lets you run the supplied 9.2 foot cable without noise pickup, and you can extend it with standard XLR leads for longer runs.
