The brown Point Source Audio Series8 CO-8WL Omnidirectional Waterproof Lavalier Microphone (Audio-Technica) is a miniature mic designed to deliver a natural vocal sound for recording and live sound reinforcement applications such as concerts, musical theater, interviews, public speaking, and more. Featuring an unobtrusive mic element only 4mm in diameter, it can easily fit behind a button of the performer's clothing or be hidden in a hairline.

The Series8 CO-8WL's omnidirectional polar pattern allows for a variety of mic placement options as it picks up the voice from all directions equally and doesn't need to be lined up with the mouth. The mic offers an IP57 rating, which protects it against water, sweat, and makeup, commonly harmful to microphones.

The unit comes with a windscreen, cable clip, storage box, and an interchangeable 4-pin Hirose X-Connector for Audio-Technica wireless systems.

Q: 1. Can this device work with a USB Battery plugged into the USB charging slot while in use? I know that my one cell phone (ZTE Axon 7) which I use to record video WILL not only work with the battery pack plugged in, but will also charge the phone up while recording.

A: No, the Comica Audio DUAL.LAV D03 should not be used to record while it is charging. This information is provided on page 1 of the user manual. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/581719.pdf

Q: 4. Im seeing a few reviews about this thing recording a layer of static throughout? Has anyone figured out what causes this? Its the only thing making me worried about purchasing it?

A: Hi there! Ive been using this for professional projects for a while now and have had no issues with it and no static. As a matter of fact its been roughed up a bit sometimes on shoots and it really holds up

Q: 5. So this doesn't show the levels on screen so how you you know where your levels are? Is listening through headphones you only solution?

A: The device autorecords audio at two levels automatically. So you can pick which file to use after. I guess it somewhat eliminates the need for level control (as long as it's recording).

Q: 6. I hear tons of environmental noise in my recordings. I can hear people's conversations that is more than 10feet away. The lav was underneath my shirt close to my throat. Anyway to lessen the environmental noise? Thank you!

A: Sadly you may have to buy a better lav. I use a Sennheiser MKE2 with this unit and I'm getting excellent results. Keep in mind that almost all lavs are omnidirectional so they will pick up more than just your voice. However you can buy unidirectional lavs as well which may be the answer to your issue. You will just have to make sure the lav is always pointed towards your mouth. Sennheiser, Countryman, DPA and Lectrosonics all make great lavs that should work for you.

Q: 7. What happens when the internal battery eventually fails?

A: If the internal battery for the Sony PCM-A10 Audio Recorder fails, you will need to contact Sony to inquire about battery replacement.

Q: 8. Is it allowed live monitoring thru bluetooth headphone connection?

A: No, live monitoring can not be done via Bluetooth, only playback. The recording audio is output to the headphone jack, so you would need a wired connection to monitor.

Q: 9. Why is the sound quality on this WORSE than the internal mic of my Sony A7rIII for distance recordings? I love recorder, but do I need a different mic?

A: The mic that comes with the DR10L is better than the on-board camera mic. It is essentially a copy of a Sennheiser ME2, which is a pretty nice mic. You can upgrade, just make sure that whatever you do upgrade to is wired for Sennheiser (which is the same as this Tascam).

Q: 10. Is internal recording available do I need a microSD card?
