The black Series8 Cardioid Headset Microphone from Point Source Audio is designed for applications where more than one microphone is required, such as for live performances and recordings. The cardioid pattern of the microphone will pick up sound from one direction, so it can be focused on the sounds of the person wearing the microphone. The unit features a 4mm diameter microphone element that can be positioned at the corner of the mouth to maintain an unobtrusive appearance.

The microphone features a length-adjustable unbreakable boom that can bend up to 360° and includes flexible ear hooks for wearing the headset on the left or right ear. It offers optimal gain amplification before feedback and can handle sounds with a maximum SPL of 135 dB. The microphone can connect to a wide range of wireless microphone transmitters using its interchangeable X-Connector system. This particular unit comes with an interchangeable Lemo-style 3-pin connector for Sennheiser SK and Zaxcom transmitters. The microphone also comes with a foam windscreen, a body clip, and a storage box.

[1 to 10 V] I'm extremely happy with my point source. The buds that come with it aren't my favorite but you can easily switch them out with Shure 215s without having to rerun the cable through the casing.

[9 x 6 x 1"] I work hundreds of TV crews yearly, and I was looking for a headset that could give be a better fit that didn’t squeeze the side of my head like traditional single / double muff headsets.

This headset works great in almost any sporting event (regardless of the loudness of the area around me). At times, I do have to slightly adjust the fit around my ears, but it fits very comfortably.

[9 x 6 x 1"] Great headset mic. Sounds amazing! Very easy to adjust to each presenter. Get tons of compliments from presenters on how they normally don't like headsets but this one was nice. Definitely my go to headset from now on!

[Black] We have tried several different headsets like Countryman and THOR. This one beats them all! My pastor has some “wonky” frequencies in his voice that generate feedback in the mids. This one solved most of those issues without sacrificing the quality. The construction is beefy. No more bending the delicate wire to mold it to his face. Right out of the box, this fit like a glove and sounds amazing. I can’t recommend it enough.

[9 x 6 x 1"] My biggest issue with traditional broadcast headsets were the usability, being the lack of it. By the end of a show, the headsets would barely stay on my head because I was hot and sweaty. This headset is fantastic. I don't have to worry about it falling of. I can run with a steadicam and not have to pick up my headset after the shot. Highly recommend this.
