MICS IN ACTION

Miniature Lavalier at Only 4mm

The sign of a good miniature lavalier microphone is no sign at all! Small and discreet, their low-profile nature is what broadcasters and performers love the most. Gently tucked behind a button or hidden in a hairline, miniature lavalier microphones are the most unobtrusive technology on stage or on camera.

IP 57 Waterproof Rated

Behind a button, or hiding in the hairline, this lavalier microphone is ideal for applications requiring complete camouflaging. Of particular note is that the CO-8WL lavalier mic is IP 57 waterproof rated against water, sweat and makeup—conditions that are commonly harmful to microphones. This little lavalier delivers big results currently on Broadway and off-Broadway productions including Hamilton, Ain't Too Proud, Hairspray, Hello Dolly! and more!

Vígszínház Theatre, Budapest

When it comes to challenging musical scenes, such as this one from “Paul Street Boys” — performed here at Vígszínház Theatre in Budapest — it pays to have Point Source Audio's mics that just happen to be IP 57 waterproof rated.

Get more confidence with TWO waterproof elements and backup built-in.
