Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this mic require any phantom power please?

A: This mic is designed with a connector for Sennheiser wireless transmitters, it does not require phantom power but does require voltage to operate 1 -10v which is provided by the transmitter.

Q: 2. What environment would the high sensitivity be best for over low sensitivity?

A: A microphone with high sensitivity is best for capturing a quiet voice while a mic with low sensitivity is best for a loud voice.

Q: 3. Does this work with Riedel systems?

A: The Point Source Audio CM-i5-4F In-Ear Intercom Headset with Noise-Canceling Boom Mic (4-Pin XLR Female) does have similar connectivity to some Riedel headsets, however, as it is specified for Clear-Com, we recommend confirming compatibility with either manufacturer to fully confirm.

Q: 4. can this work with any microphone with TA4F connector or is it only for Point Source mics?

A: The Point Source Audio CON is meant for use with PSA microphones only. Results with other brands will vary as they may have different wiring schemes, even if the connector is the same.

Q: 5. I want to use my Sennheiser mics on my zoom N1. Because of the threaded collar, it doesn't fit perfectly into my Zoom N1. Does this cable convert the Sennheiser connector to a regular 3.5mm plug?

A: This adapter is specifically for Point Source mics to connect into Sennheiser wireless bodypack transmitters.

Q: 6. If I have a set of custom in ear headphones can I use these with this headset/talkback mic for live productions?

A: The Point Source Audio CM-i3-5Ms is modular and ships with their EM-3 in-ears, but can be switched with earphones of the user's choice.

Q: 7. does this mic require phantom power? or "bias power?" thanks!

A: Because the Point Source Audio CM-i3-PH Intercom Headset with 3.5mm Plug is designed for use with iOS intercom applications, we can presume that if power is needed, it is powered via a small amount of voltage received through connection to an iOS device. This is typically between 2-5V and often referred to as "plug-in" power. The power specifications for the CM-i3-PH are not specified, and the microphone element is actually categorized as dyamic/self-powered, which may indicate that it does not require any power from its source connection.

Q: 8. Will this adapter allow me to connect a PS Embrace mic to a Sennheiser XSW transmitter?

A: No, that would not be possible. To be able to do that with a Point Source Embrace model, you would only need the one that is made for compatible with Sennheiser Evolution series transmitters like B&H # POEO8WLXSEBE for example.

Q: 9. also, does this lavaliere come with the seeheiser snap-on type adapter to terminate? Can you purchase a audio technica adapter and if yes, where in your website are these please?

A: This model ships with 1/8 locking connector for Sennheiser EW transmitters. Other connectors are available including Audio Technica compatible connectors.

Q: 10. Is this clip compatible with Sony E-44B microphones?

A: The Point Source Audio Double Holder Slider Clip can be used with most lavalier microphones, including the Sony ECM-44B.

[Omnidirectional] We use them in a church for all the pastors. Being as how the economy is where it is we have had to cut cost. The CO-3 microphone is priced so we did not have to down grade quality for our sound system. You may want to use a foam wind screen the mike is rather hot. I would recomend this to any one needing this type of mike. 5

[6.8 x 5.6 x 1"] 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. 5

[4' / 1.2 m] Sounds great. Much better than lavalier mic. 5

[4' / 1.2 m] No issues with this mic, good sound quality. Appreciate the recommendation from the salesman during the chat session. 5

[Plug-In Power] I had never even heard of the brand before seeing them on the B&H site. I gambled and purchased 3 of them for an event that was 5 days away. I received them 2 days before the event so I had them for dress rehearsal and the event itself. The mics worked flawlessly and performed better than some mics that I have that are double the price of these! Awesome first impression of Point Source mics!! These make me want to try some of those ultra flexible CO-7s. :) 5

[Beige] This mic will be used by the pastor in a sanctuary--who moves around--and appreciates the omnidirectional capability. 5
