Look Who's Singing our Praises
“We first deployed the Point Source mics at the Spoleto premiere last year and they proved to be sonically precise—especially the directionality of the CR-8L cardioid lav.”
“The PSA sound is very transparent and warm. When you're working in theatre, there is a huge emphasis on the mic sound seeming as natural as possible in order to not distract from the performance. Point Source does an excellent job of amplifying without changing the tonal color of the voice.”
