Lectrosonics has introduced what it is claiming is the smallest wireless microphone in the world.

The XSDT, or ‘eXtra-Super-Damn-Tiny’, is a completely self-contained microphone which includes a nearly microscopic condenser microphone element, AA battery and a 250mW RF transmitter using the company’s proprietary Digital Hybrid Wireless technology.

The microphone element sports a 1x1mm capsule area and promises an astounding frequency response of 5Hz to 120kHz and transient response far better than any other microphone on the market, claims Lectrosonics. Dynamic range is 120dB, with self-noise of 48dB (A-weighted) and a maximum SPL of 168dB.

Two versions of the transmitter are available. The XSDT-ALK uses an alkaline AA battery and provides 38 minutes of operational time, while the XSDT-LITH uses a lithium battery for 1h 15m operational time.

Due to the permanently installed battery on each unit, the XSDT must be discarded once the battery dies. MSRP for the XSDT-ALK is $499 (£288) while the XSDT-LITH costs $699 (£404).
