The black CR-8S Cardioid Earworn Microphone from Point Source Audio is designed for high noise applications where more than one microphone is required such as for live performances and recordings. The cardioid pattern of the microphone will pick up sound from one direction, so it can be focused on the sounds of the person wearing the microphone. The unit features a 4mm diameter microphone element that can be positioned at the corner of the mouth to maintain an unobtrusive appearance.

The microphone features an unbreakable boom that can bend up to 360° and a flexible earhook that can be worn on either the left or the right ear. Alternatively you can utilize a dual-earset microphone clip to convert the earworn microphone so it can be worn on both ears for more support. The unit offers optimal gain amplification before feedback and can handle sounds with a maximum SPL of 135 dB. The microphone can connect to a wide range of wireless microphone transmitters using its interchangeable X-Connector system. This particular unit comes with an interchangeable locking 4-pin Hirose connector for Audio-Technica transmitters. The microphone also comes with a foam windscreen, a body clip, and a storage box.

Q: 1. is there a good wind screen for this microphone? It is very sensitive to wind.

A: You can use the Auray Fuzzy Windbuster for Lavalier Microphones - Black (B&H # AUWLW) or Rycote Lavalier Windjammer - Black (B&H # RYWFLB). If you prefer a foam windscreen, the Auray WLF-038-3R Foam Windscreens for 3/8" Diameter Microphones - 3 Pack (B&H # AUWLF0383R) or Audio-Technica AT8116 Mini Lavalier Windscreen (B&H # AUAT8116) are compatible.

Q: 2. Would this be a good mic for recording a rally if crossed and paired with the zoom h6?

A: Yes, it is an excellent little mike that could be used with just about any recorder with a powered input. The Zoom does have that. I bought two of them to augment the AT-2050 mikes that I already have, to record close-up sounds such as the singer or the piano in a band. Small and versatile.

Q: 3. I bought two of these mics. I record a podcast in a car and use these mics. The problem is that it seems that any movement of the mic cable causes feedback in the recording... I don't understand why it is so sensitive. An arm brushing up to the mic cause noticeable audio distortion. any ideas?

A: could be a bad cable, or connection. If same thing is happening with both mics, try either with windscreen on, with windscreen off.

Q: 4. Will this work on an atw-t31?

A: The AT829cW is compatible with the connector on T-31 transmitter and all other UniPak' transmitters from Audio Technica.

Q: 5. I'm looking for the best possible lavalier microphone for professional videography. I currently have an NTG3 Rode Shotgun Mic, so I'd want to match that quality with a lavalier that can be used on a ursa mini 4k with XLR inputs, wireless to the lavalier location. I'd appreciate any suggestions for budget and best for price, what do the experts think?

A: I have a rode NTG2 and this mic. I just used it on a documentary I filmed with a Sony NX5U and it sounded great and I got several comments on the audio quality. I have had mu eye on the URSA Mini, what are your thoughts on the URSA, would you recommend it?

Q: 6. Where can I get a wind cover for this microphone?

A: Auray - Fuzzy Windbuster for Lavalier Microphones (Black) B&H# AUWLW

Q: 7. Would this be compatible with a Panasonic GH4 video camera? Or is there a particular adapter/connector required?

A: It has a full-size XLR connection. What input does your camera need? If you've got pro XLR you're all set. This is a great mic! If you have an 1/8 input, this isn't your microphone. :(

Q: 8. What adapter / connector does it take?

A: The power module connected to the Pro 70 lavaier features a male XLR connection. The proper cable or adapter will depend on the device you are connecting to.

Q: 9. Can this mic be used interchangeably with various transmitter brands?

A: Yes, it can! Each mic comes with one X-Connector. Additional X-Connectors for other wireless brands can be purchased separately.

Q: 10. Could this mic also be used as an overhead for an interview with good results?

A: Unlikely. It is not designed for that purpose. Dependant on distance and room acoustics; this mic is designed for close proximity, generally within inches of a musical instrument. That said, in a quiet room, with 1-2' of distance this mic MAY obtain good results for a single person.
