Point Source Audio has introduced a new Lavalier Switch Kit which presents the ability to transform one lavalier mic into two wearing styles, with three colour options to help audio technicians meet the ever-changing conditions of miking the talent amid the COVID-19 crisis.
At the heart of the Lavalier Switch Kit is the company’s IP 57 Waterproof Omnidirectional Lavalier. The mic choice includes a low sensitivity option for live stage applications or a high sensitivity option for studio broadcast. This waterproof mic has a low profile at 4mm in diameter, but embodies high-performance characteristics you might expect from a larger format microphone.
“We created the Lavalier Switch Kit to be a ‘grab and go’ solution for audio professionals,” explained Point Source Audio’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Yvonne Ho. “Having the right accessories can very quickly transform a basic lavalier mic into a tailored solution for a stage actor, corporate presenter, or a guest speaker in a studio setting.”
The versatility to change the lavalier to a professional on-ear microphone is offered exclusively with the company’s patented EMBRACE ear mounts, included in beige, brown and black colours. EMBRACE ear mounts deliver a winning combination of concealing on the ear, while the mounting system keeps the mic placement consistent to the mouth as with traditional headset style mics.
To further camouflage the mic, the mic element colour can be changed with a selection of custom-designed colour caps in beige, brown, black, white, and gray that also serve as pop filters and added protection from water and other elements.
For traditional lavalier mounting, the kit contains 8 clip-based mounting options to meet every need. The smooth SLIDER clips come as a single or a double mount, while magnetic, vampire, and alligator clip options are also included in black and white colours.
The Lavalier Switch Kit can be purchased in a variety of different connector variants including Lemo-style, five-pin mini-XLR for Lectronsonics, four-pin mini XLR for Shure wireless, as well as 3.5mm locking ring terminations for either Sony or Sennheiser wireless. In addition, every kit also comes with an X-connector with TRRS termination for mobile devices and computers.
