Point Source Audio CO-3 Series Headset Microphone

No longer available at zZounds
Just connect and go with the adjustment-free stationary left-ear boom on Point Source Audio's omni-directional CO-3.

The CO-3 Series Microphone is the entry-level ear-worn microphone designed for speech reinforcement for church liturgy, lecturing, and other applications that require good quality vocal pick up in a hands-free environment. It has an omni-directional polar pattern which allows a full 360 degree pick up of sound providing a natural blend of voice and ambience. The design of the CO-3 series lends itself to reduced speech produced "popping sounds" and voice overloads in close mic applications, and is less susceptible to wind and clothing noise than lavaliere style microphones. Its distinguishing clarity in close talk operation and excellent gain before feedback make it suitable for applications where higher degrees of speech intelligibility are desired.

My business supplies wireless microphones to school productions in New Jersey/New York. I wouldn't give them my Countryman mics due to their fragility when they are bent. All of the mics I have bought from Microphone Madness are still working fine, even theough they have been tied in knots and dragged through costumes by kids who just want to get home - not time to take care of the equipment which made their performance audible. These are GREAT mics, both for speaking and for music performance. I am glad to give them my highest recommendation.

Musical Background:

I have a master of music performance degree from Univ. of Michigan. My wife and I have prefromed professionally for 25 + years.

Musical Style:
