Point Source Audio CX2-8D-XSE Dual Pattern Headset Mic with X-Connector for Sennheiser - BrownDual Pattern Elements in One Microphone
The CX2 switches between, or operates simultaneously as an omnidirectional and directional microphone ready to address a host of audio scenarios.
Perfect for hybrid events! For unexpected feedback in live sound applications, switch from the omni to the directional mic for an instant solution. While the omni delivers an excellent live audio signal, the directional mic simultaneously optimizes it for a clean recording or broadcasting feed.
Features Dual Pattern ElementsSeparate Wire Paths in a Convenient Single Cable Splits to Two Packs
The CX2 headset microphone has a patented design that supports audio feeds in both omni and directional pickup patterns—simultaneously.
The elements are offset creating a seamless appearance of a single microphone. There's no unnecessary bulk or doubling up on cables. The mic cable splits approximately nine inches above connection to the body-packs to allow ample room for separation of two transmitters.
Hybrid Headset - Varied ApplicationsEffortless Live PA and Broadcast Recording
Capture pristine audio for both live in-person audiences and remote viewers during today's high-demand hybrid meetings and events. This hybrid headset serves dual yet independent functions to save valuable production time. Capture a live PA and broadcast audio feed simultaneously with one microphone: use the omnidirectional mic for live audiences and the cardioid mic to capture a clean signal to benefit remote audiences.
Instant Polar Pattern Adjustments
Our hybrid headset lets you switch between two mic polar patterns—omnidirectional and cardioid—without changing microphones. The ability to switch between these mic polar patterns enables you to maintain audio excellence throughout your event—regardless of the changing dynamics and requirements, to include mitigating feedback.
Readiness with the Right Tool
Our hybrid headset ensures you're always ready to tackle an audio situation with an omnidirectional and cardioid element in one microphone. Showing up is half the job; having the right tools to do the job is essential for getting it done right!
