Reviews by the Audio Experts
"Keep these on your 'A' list"
"Over the past few years, Point Source Audio has gained a reputation for
supplying tough, good-sounding miniature microphones in headset, earworn
and lavalier styles. Now, with its new flagship SERIES8 line, the company is
poised to take things up a notch—or two. As mentioned earlier, the SERIES8
mics are designed for vocal performance. Models optimized for spoken word
application are also offered, but the SERIES8 capsules are intended for wide,
response/wide dynamic range use such as singing, which can present an
exceptionally demanding source to any microphone, let alone a miniature
transducer."
"I didn't really need any EQ at all for the mic
to sound fantastic."
"There's been a lot of progress on the miniature microphone front,
highlighted by a steady stream of new models from companies like Point
Source Audio. I recently checked out three models in the company's
SERIES8, including the CR-8L cardioid lavalier, the CO-8WS omnidirectional
earworn, and the CO-8WD omnidirectional dual-ear headset. All are capable
of handling the higher sound pressure levels of singing performers, with the
omni models designed to be moisture and makeup proof (they carry an IP57
waterproof rating). "
"And that “unbreakable boom” isn’t far from
the truth."
"The earworn models adjust for secure mounting and the flexible boom
can be easily adjusted to suit. The boom length (between base of ear and
capsule) is about 3.25 inches, which was fine for most people, but a bit
short for performers with larger heads. The headset models offer a much
wider range of adjustment and are quite secure, even with the most active
performers. The headset earpieces swivel flat for storage and are released
by a slight 1/4-inch tug to lock them in place. And that “unbreakable boom”
isn’t far from the truth. I couldn’t believe how much torture these could take
without a hitch."
