“I was previously wearing a double muff headset, which I needed because of all the noise from screaming fans; the pyro and other entertainment was too much,” explains Robby Greene, who heads up PBR’s television production and media. “But I wasn't able to wear my hat. I tried other lightweight styles and didn’t have any success. The CM-i5 headset has been working great, I have custom in-ear molds on the way as well and I can’t wait to experience the combination.”

- Robby Greene, PBR

Point Source Audio’s CM-i5 intercom headset is now playing its part in “the most dangerous eight seconds in sports”. Robby Greene, who heads up PBR’s television production and media amongst other duties on the tours, has become the latest member of the production team to make the switch over to the CM-i family of headsets.

Michael Weinman is the Director of Game Presentation and Production for the Tampa Bay Rays and communicates with as many as 25 techs on comms for everything that runs live during the game in the fast-paced and instantaneous professional sports environment — and that can put a strain on the ears if you’re not wearing the best headset.

Bethel Church's Broadcast Director Says the Difference is Clear

"I’ll keep shouting it from the mountain tops that these are one of the best investments that I have ever made into my career as a live broadcast director. The mics for both the Point Source Audio CM-i5 and CM-i3 are great and on top of that it helps protect my hearing with either the earphones that come with them or my custom in ears."

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) Tour Adds CM-i3 Headset

“The [CM-i3 headset] has freed me up to not worry about taking my [in-ears] out and then putting on a different headset; it means that I can keep my headset with my in-ears and still be able to communicate with spots, stage management, and the technicians," said Jones. It's improved the workflow so I don't have to take my attention away from running the show. I can still run the show and just click into the channel.”

Live Performance Director Favors the CM-i5

"I love the security of it staying in place (including the ear buds). The compact and sleek design [of the CM-i5] is a great upgrade coming off of the CM-i3, especially being in a job where I'm moving around the stage a good bit. The gear equips me well without being too bulky to get in the way. Huge for my role!"

Richard Stockton Sports the CM-i5 at Final Four

“For the CM-i5 condenser, I really like it because it feels better especially for long days and it sounds really great. People on wired com in the control room really like it because it picks up less ambience and has a more studio quality sound to them.”

Why 15 Techs at Elevation Church Went “All In” with their Headsets

Jared Olson, production manager at Elevation Church relies on the CM-i3 for all aspects of production. “I wear mine for 8-10 hours a day every Saturday and Sunday. I’ve had the same headset for four years with no problems. Any production I do, I do with this headset. I wear glasses and any muff-style headset gives me a headache.” Olson continues, “Most of the techs have custom in-ear molds and you can easily replace the stock or standard earbuds with your in-ear molds. It’s even more comfortable, and also provides an added measure of isolation.”

Camera Op Michael Sluck Trades Up from Ordinary Headsets

"My first day on the job using a Point Source RTS Headset—instead of a single or double muff headset for hours on end. It performed nearly flawlessly, and I could hear everything I needed with both earbuds in without having to raise the volume much. I look forward to trying this out in more environments and sports / events. The headset stays comfortably on my head, without any lasting effects."

Classic Rock Show Meets Modern Headset

After Roland Castillo, a seasoned camera operator who had toured with Tom Petty since 2008, tried the Point Source Audio CM-i3 the first time, there was no looking back. “It’s great,” he says of the CM-i3. It’s lightweight, and it just wraps around my head, by my temple with the in-ears and mic. Just being able to hear with the headset on and not having to worry about this thing falling off my head is amazing. And, just after the show, being able to sit there and go, ‘Wow, I can hear! That’s a fantastic feeling!”

"CM-i3 is like the best I've ever bought in anything!"
