Designed with ease of use, and efficiency in design in mind, this selected range of Point Source Audio lavalier microphones offers a discreet choice for broadcast, theatre, and film. All lavaliers below house microphone elements with option of omnidirectional, cardioid, or dual-capsule. The microphones have been designed for positioning including within the hairline, on the lapel, or hidden behind a button.
Series8 microphones
Point Source Audio Series8 lavalier microphones include an interchangeable X-Connector termination type with compatibility for the most popular wireless microphone systems listed. For any other X-Connector type, please contact our Sales Team.
CO-8WLh Omnidirectional, high sensitivity
CO-8WLh lavalier has been designed with high sensitivity for use in studio broadcast. The discreet 4mm diameter allows the microphone to be hidden in clothing, hair, or on the body and therefore unobtrusive on camera. CO-8WL lavalier mic is IP57 waterproof rated against water, sweat and makeup. Available in black, beige, or brown finish.
Included accessories: 1x Specified X-Connector, 1x WSN windscreen, 1x B-Clip cable clip.
Element: Back electret condenser. Pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz. Sensitivity: -32dB 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 118dB SPL. Output impedance: 1400ohms, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.22m, excluding X-Connector.
CO-8WL Omnidirectional, low sensitivity
This lavalier microphone has the same attributes as CO-8WLh, however it has a lower sensitivity of -43dB 1V/Pa and is therefore more suited to applications such as live stage performance.
Element: Back electret condenser. Pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz. Sensitivity: -43dB 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 136dB SPL. Output impedance: 1400ohms, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.22m, excluding X-Connector.
CR-8L is a cardioid lavalier microphone measuring 4mm in diameter and designed with a tight pick-up pattern to address feedback concerns. The microphone is able to handle up to 135dB maximum SPL and is often a go-to choice for amplification in high volume situations where gain before feedback is a problem. The microphone can also be employed in film or broadcast scenarios where isolation is required, or ENG use to reduce wind or background noise. CR-8L is available in black, beige, or brown finish.
Included accessories: 1x Specified X-Connector, 1x WSN windscreen, 1x B-Clip cable clip.
Element: Back electret condenser. Pattern: Cardioid. Frequency response: 160Hz to 14kHz. Sensitivity: -50dB 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 135dB SPL. Output impedance: 1700ohms, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.22m, excluding X-Connector.
CO2-8WLp Dual capsule, omnidirectional
This lavalier has been designed with redundancy in mind. The microphone's design offers two microphone capsules built into a single cable jacket. The cable splits approximately 23cm above connection to the body-packs to allow ample room for separation of the transmitters. Alternatively, the user can employ the BBX Backup Box to merge signals into a single transmitter pack to offer microphone redundancy only. The two omnidirectional elements are factory matched to +/-0.5dB difference - and both elements are IP57 waterproof rated. The microphone elements are offset to reduce mass and offer a sleek profile. Available in black, beige or brown finish.
Included accessories: 2x X-Connectors, 1x WSNx windscreen, 1x B-Clip cable clip.
Element: 2x Back electret condenser, matched. Pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz. Sensitivity: -43dB 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 136dB SPL. Output impedance: 1400ohms, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.82m, excluding X-Connectors.
CO2-8WL Dual capsule, omnidirectional
CO2-8WL is an IP57 rated, dual-capsule microphone with omnidirectional capsules to offer redundancy. The design pairs two microphone elements into a single housing to create a form factor that is 'ultra low profile'. The paired elements are factory matched in frequency and sensitivity so if the redundant channel is employed the differences in audio performance are almost undetectable. Available in black finish only.
Included accessories: 2x X-Connectors, 1x WSNr windscreen, 1x B-Clip cable clip.
Element: 2x Back electret condenser. Pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz, omni. Sensitivity: -43dB 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 136dB SPL. Output impedance: 1400ohms, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.82m, excluding X-Connectors.
CX2-8L Dual capsule, omnidirectional/cardioid
Sometimes referred to as 'Omnoid', CX2 is a hybrid dual-capsule microphone with omnidirectional and directional capsules to offer simultaneous user or to offer multiple pickup types to address a host of audio scenarios. Often employed in live sound application, this microphone allows the engineer to switch between audio signals for the cleanest result. It is also a feature that can be employed for separate feeds whereby one is required for live sound output and the other for streaming or back up recording. Available in black finish only.
Included accessories: 2x X-Connectors, 1x WSNr windscreen, 1x B-Clip cable clip.
Element: 2x Back electret condenser. Pattern: Omnidirectional/cartdioid. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz, omni; 160Hz to 14kHz, cardioid. Sensitivity: -43dB, omni; -50dB, cardioid 1V/Pa, +/-3dB at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 136dB SPL, omni; 135dB SPL, cardioid. Output impedance: 1400ohms, omni; 1700ohms, cardioid, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.22m, excluding X-Connectors.
Series9 microphones
Point Source Audio Series9 microphones have been designed to off a high maximum sound pressure level whilst being durable and for applications including live and studio use. Unlike Series8 microphones which employ the X-Connector termination, Series9 microphones are terminated with either 'SE' 3.5mm locking jack, 'SK' 3-pin lemo, or 'SH' TA4F patented ENDURE connector - that has been tested to 12,000 bends. The microphones allow cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and have IP57 rating.
GO-9WL Omnidirectional
GO-9WL is a lavalier microphone designed to meet the demands of professional users. With a maximum SPL of 142dB, the microphone can handle loud vocals without clipping or producing a harsh, distorted sound. A sensitivity of -39dB 1V/Pa at 1kHz ensures clarity, capturing delicate nuances in the voice. Additionally, the GO-9WD includes Point Source Audio's patented ENDURE connector for enhanced durability. Available in black, beige, or brown finish with 3.5mm locking jack, TA4F, or 3-pin lemo termination. Other terminations are available by request.
Included accessories: Windscreen, cable clip.
Element: Back electret condenser. Pattern: Omnidirectional. Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz. Sensitivity: -39dB 1V/Pa, at 1kHz. Maximum SPL: 142dB SPL. Output impedance: 1300ohms, +/-30%, at 1kHz. Cable length: 1.7m.
GO2-9WLp Dual capsule, omnidirectional
GO2-9WLp has the same specifications and characteristics as GO-9WL however the microphone houses dual omnidirectional capsules for redundancy. Available in black, beige, or brown finish.
