EMBRACE™ Earmount Microphone

Embrace logo, earmount, microphone
eo-8wl

Model No: EO-8WL (for live stage)

Model No: EO-8WLh (for studio broadcast)

U.S. Pat: D786,220 and 9,706,285

EMBRACE microphones are custom-fit on-ear lavalier solutions for TV and film, theatre, corporate and other applications where the microphone is ideally camouflaged, yet still maintain consistent placement from the mouth even with head movement. Choose the EO-8WL (low sensitivity) for strong vocals, or the EO-8WLh (high sensitivity) for typical speech such as in TV or studio broadcast.

MICS IN ACTION

LIGHT Like a Lav

HOLD Like a Headset

The patented EMBRACE Microphones are buildable and customizable mic’ing solutions new to the audio industry. The EMBRACE microphones are engineered for concealing, but its mounting system keeps the mic placement consistent to the mouth as with traditional headset style mics. This innovation in custom mic’ing is the best of lightweight and low-profile lavs combined with the consistent placement of earmounted microphones.

TV Studio

Televisa actress wears Point Source Audio EMBRACE mic

"... it used to take a lot of time to wire an actor ─ EMBRACE mics have allowed them to wire the actors so much faster.”

HOW Televisa FAST-TRACKED

Location Sound

Andrew Jones, WAV Report, EMBRACE mic

“If you are looking to upgrade the lavs in your kit and were thinking about buying Voice Technologies, Sanken or DPA … give a listen to the CO-8WL. At the very least, totally buy an EMBRACE or two … I hate trying to moleskin/tape a lav behind an actresses ear and hide it with her hair."

IT'S THIS EASY!

Instrument

Joshua Bell, EMBRACE mic

Clever violin mic'ing: "It was stunning! Certainly live, it was amazing. The recording engineer couldn't believe how great [EMBRACE] sounded."

JOSHUA BELL “UNTOUCHABLE”

Theatre
