Frequently Asked Questions
What pickup pattern does the CR-8S use and why does it matter?
The CR-8S uses a cardioid pickup pattern, which focuses on sound from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This makes it especially effective in high-noise live production environments.
Can the CR-8S be worn on either ear?
Yes, the microphone can be worn over the left or right ear, and it can also be configured as a dual earset microphone for added stability.
What wireless systems is this microphone compatible with?
This model (XTX-BR) includes a 4-pin mini connector designed for Telex wireless systems. Point Source Audio's X-connector system also allows swapping to other wireless brand connectors.
How durable is the microphone boom?
The boom is rated as unbreakable by Point Source Audio and can be bent a full 360 degrees without damage, making it highly resistant to the rigors of daily production use.
