SERIES8 Cardioid Headset Microphone

SERIES8 Microphones
CR-8D Cardioid Headset

Model No: CR-8D

The CR-8D is a cardioid dual ear headset microphone ideal in applications when there is more than one mic being used in close proximity, in live performances, and in some recording situations where feedback may be an issue. A cardioid headset microphone will pick up one focused sound from one direction compared to an omni that picks up from several directions.

MICS IN ACTION

Precise Microphone Placement

A unique benefit of the CR-8D headset microphone is that the capsule is especially miniaturized and there is no need to force the mic directly in front of the mouth. The boom of this headset microphone can sit comfortably and effectively at the corner of the mouth for an unobstrusive appearance. Built with our robust "Unbreakable Boom" bendable to 360°, the boom length is adjustable as are the earhooks to convert for left or right ear wearing.

Jordan Johnson3

Production Manager

Berkelee College of Music

“The exact placement near the mouth of the singer was the most forgiving out of all the headsets I’ve used before and the noise handling was very minimal, which are two very crucial factors when working with student singers.”

Pedro Eustache, Instrument microphone for Game of Thrones

“What sold me on the Point Source mic that is also very important is the extendable length on the boom that allows me a lot of placement choices."

  • Pedro Eustache, Flautist on Game of Thrones LIVE!, and Hans Zimmer Tour

“We found the CR-8D headsets to give the least coloration and the highest gain before feedback. Its sound is much more natural after feedback corrections."
