The black Confidence CX2-8D Dual Omni/Cardioid Headset Mic for Sennheiserfrom Confidence CX2-8D Dual Omni/Cardioid Headset Mic for Sennheiseris a dual-element microphone with both an omnidirectional mic and a cardioid mic in a single headset with a dual-ear design. The two mics are wired separately but share a single 3.9' cable that is wired to two of Point Source's proprietary X-Connector connections, which allows you to connect to a wide variety of wireless transmitters simply by swapping out X-Connector adapters. A pair of locking 3.5 mm X-Connectors for Sennheiser wireless transmitters are included.

The all-in-one solution is suitable for hybrid events, with the omnidirectional microphone providing live sound and the cardioid microphone used for a simultaneous broadcast feed. The mic cable splits to allow ample separation between both wireless transmitters.
