help Point Source Audio CO-3 FAQ

What is the polar pattern of the Point Source Audio CO-3 lavalier microphone?

The Point Source Audio CO-3 features an omnidirectional pickup pattern. This allows it to capture clear audio 360 degrees around the capsule, making it highly forgiving of head movements during theatrical or broadcast performances.

Is the Point Source Audio CO-3 waterproof for live theater use?

Yes, the CO-3 is part of Point Source Audio's waterproof series, specifically rated to IP 57 standards. This means it is heavily protected against dust and can be safely submerged in water up to 1 meter, making it ideal for sweaty musical productions.

What kind of connector does the CO-3 microphone use?

The CO-3 is available with a variety of detachable connectors via Point Source Audio's patented X-Connect system. You can order it configured with standard TA4F, 3.5mm, or specific locking connectors for Shure and Sennheiser wireless systems.

Can I use the Point Source Audio CO-3 for podcasting?

While primarily designed for live theater and broadcasting, it can be used for podcasting if you have the correct phantom power interface or wireless receiver. However, standard XLR podcasting microphones usually offer better off-axis rejection than an omni lavalier.
