Five Features That Make Point Source Audio Microphones Stand Out
Point Source Audio’s microphones are built to meet the demands of live performance, theatre and broadcast.
With discreet designs and flexible features, they give performers the freedom to move while helping production teams maintain reliable, high-quality audio.
We’ve created a 5-part series exploring these features in more detail.
Head over to our Instagram to check out the series and discover what makes Point Source Audio microphones stand out.
Lightweight, Low-Profile Design
The EMBRACE On-Ear Lavalier combines a lightweight design with a discreet profile, making it comfortable for performers to wear throughout a production.
Its secure fit allows performers to move freely while helping engineers maintain consistent audio levels. The low-profile design also makes it easy to conceal for a clean on-stage or on-camera appearance.
Dual-Element Microphones
Traditional microphone redundancy often means fitting a performer with two separate microphones. Point Source Audio’s CO2 microphones offer a more streamlined solution.
The dual-element design looks and feels like a single microphone while providing two independent signal paths to separate wireless transmitters.
The dual-omni models are designed for redundancy, while the omni-cardioid option provides two polar patterns that can be blended to suit different applications.
This makes the microphones particularly useful for hybrid events, where different pickup patterns may be required for the live PA and broadcast mix.
IP57 Rated
Moisture, sweat, makeup and special effects can all present challenges for production microphones.
Point Source Audio microphones with a W in the model number feature an IP57 rating, providing protection against dust and temporary immersion in water up to one metre deep.
They can also be painted with makeup or VFX materials to help them blend into a performer’s appearance.
After use, 70% isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove makeup or paint, making them a practical choice for theatre and rental applications.
Unbreakable Boom
The unbreakable boom is designed to make positioning quick and straightforward.
It can be bent, flipped and repositioned to either side of the face, while the flexible construction allows it to hold its shape during a performance.
With 360-degree flexibility and longer boom options available, performers and engineers can position the microphone exactly where it is needed. If it gets knocked, it can simply be moved back into place.
The GO-9WD also features the patented ENDURE hardwired connector, which has been tested through 12,000 bend cycles for added durability.
Reversible Headframes
Changing microphones between performers needs to be quick and simple, particularly in busy theatre and live production environments.
Point Source Audio’s reversible headframes allow the microphone to be repositioned from one side of the face to the other without the need for a completely different headset.
The feature is available across the CONFIDENCE dual-element family, as well as the SERIES 8 and SERIES 9 professional head microphones.
This flexibility makes it easier to adapt the microphone to different performers while maintaining a comfortable and consistent fit.
A Flexible Microphone Solution
Point Source Audio combines discreet designs with practical features that address the everyday demands of live production.
From dual-element redundancy and IP57 protection to flexible booms and reversible headframes, the range is designed to offer reliability without compromising comfort or appearance.
