Frequently Asked Questions
LEA provides smoother, more natural gain control, avoiding the pumping or distortion often heard with standard AGCs, resulting in a cleaner recording.
While 16 hours is possible, expect around 8-10 hours with continuous use and the LEA engine engaged, depending on recording levels.
While the LEA helps, it’s still a cardioid mic; proximity is key, and significant background noise will still be picked up, requiring a quieter location for optimal results.
