I have been using the Point Source Audio lavs for about 2 months now and have been very happy with them. The CO-8WL lavs themselves are super tiny, 4mm. They are the same size as the Sanken Cos-11D but a lot shorter. Point Source Audio microphones dominate Broadway (50 are currently being used on the musical Hamilton) but now they are signing up TV audio dealers … Continue reading Review: Point Source Audio Lavalier Ear Mount
