-
The black Series 8 CO2-8WLp Dual-Element Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone from Point Source Audio pairs two microphone elements into a single housing to create a sleek form factor and ultra-low-profile lavalier microphone. It can be used to capture audio and offers built-in microphone redundancy for wireless transmitters in live stage, theater, and broadcast applications.
The CO2-8WLp's dual elements are factory matched to a near identical ±0.5 dB difference and both elements are IP57 waterproof rated. The microphone cable splits approximately 9" above the connection to the bodypack to allow for ample room for separation of the transmitters. In addition, the mic is equipped with a 6' cable that terminates with two 4-pin mini X-Connectors for Shure, Line 6, JTS, Trantec, Carvin, and Beyerdynamic TG Gray transmitters.
For Wireless Bodypack Transmitters 2 x XSH X-Connector Adapters 2 x Microphone Elements in One Housing Factory Matched in Frequency/Sensitivity 20 Hz to 20 kHz Frequency Response Water, Sweat, and Makeup Proof IP57 Waterproof Rated Includes Slider Clip Cable Clip and Windscreen Interchangeable X-Connector

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does this work with a Sennheiser 1/8" screw down mic?
A: Yes the Tascam DR-10L will work with the same kind of microphone that would be compatible with Sennheiser Evolution series systems that have the threaded 1/8'' TRS connector.
Q: 2. What are the specs of the mic included with the Tascam DR-10L?
A: Specifications provided by Tascam for the included lavalier mic are as follows: Microphone Sensitivity -42dBV/Pa, Pickup pattern - Omni, Maximum input sound pressure115dB SPL, Cable Length - 63 in (160cm)
Q: 3. Maybe this is a dumb question, but besides using the headphone jack how can I get a read on the levels to a mixer?
A: If you want to get the resulting audio recorded on the DL-01 into a mixer, you have two choices (1) you can move the resulting recording (the .WAV file) into another playback device which is connected to a mixer (probably the normal case ); or (2) play out the recorded file directly from the DL-10. I have had cases when in the field where time was of the essence where I have had to use #2. It happens enough that I have standard cables in my go-bag for this purpose (3.5mm L+R stereo male to 2x XLR male for L+R -- also carry another cable with 3.5mmRCA connectors) to use the headphones jack on the DL-01 for output. And, yes, the DL-01 recording is 1-channel mono. In the field, when I have had to feed a just-recorded file to a mixer, it works great.
Q: 4. Does it come with a instruction manual?
A: Yes. A maunaul is included: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/292636.pdf
Q: 5. Is there a way to download the audio files to a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.13.4 (High Sierra) without taking the memory card out? When I connect the DR-10L with the suppled USB cable, it does not show up on my desktop. What is the file format of the memory card?
A: .WAV file it the format it records.
Q: 6. 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: 7. I set the gain to the highest setting. In your experience what is the best setting when recording vows from weddings?
A: I typically use the medium setting, and then have it in Dual record mode.
Q: 8. How can I monitor audio if someone is wearing the microphone?
A: Or you could hook up a inexpensive tiny Bluetooth transmitter to it and use any Bluetooth headset up to 50-100ft away. Even the person on can could do this. Keep one earbud in.
Q: 9. If the battery dies while recording will that file still be saved? If not, can it be recaptured with a reloaded battery?
A: The last file recording will end just before the unit shuts down due to dead batteries.
Q: 10. What kind of replacement lavs can I buy for this unit?
A: I have used the Rode smart lav on this unit and it works ok, but it doesn't have the locking threads so it popped out as I sat in my chair and I missed a take. Also the sound was different so we went back to the Tuscam Lav. My guess is any lav with the 1/8 male plug will work. Why would you want a different lav?
