The new Lavalier Switch Kit from Point Source Audio packages a lavalier mic with options for two wearing styles, and three colours.
‘We created the Lavalier Switch Kit to be a grab-and-go solution for audio professionals,’ says Point Source Audio VP of Sales & 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 kit is based around the IP 57 Waterproof Omnidirectional Lavalier, which has a low profile at 4mm in diameter, and offers a low sensitivity option for live stage applications and a high sensitivity option for studio broadcast. The abilty to change the lavalier to a professional on-ear microphone is achieved with proprietary Embrace earmounts (included in beige, brown and black) for concealing on the ear, while keeping the mic placement consistent to the mouth as with traditional headset style mics.
To further camouflage the mic, the element colour can be changed with a selection of custom caps in beige, brown, black, white and grey that also serve as pop filters and add protection from water and other elements.
For traditional lavalier mounting, the kit contains eight clip-based options – the 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, 5-pin mini-XLR for Lectrosonics, 4-pin mini XLR for Shure wireless, as well as 3.5mm locking ring terminations for Sony and Sennheiser wireless. In addition, each kit comes with an X-connector with TRRS termination for use with mobile devices and computers.
