Title: Point Source CR8-L cardioid lavalier
Post by: dabbler on June 18, 2026, 06:10:27 PM
I've been looking for a set of miniature cards (DPA 406x-sized) for both on-body and minimal footprint on-stage recording and came across a brand and model I've never heard of:

Any experiences with these mics?

Max SPL of 135 dB, should be enough for the musicians who let me record on stage, but no THD specs.
size: 4mm diameter, 15mm length

Operating voltage: 1-10V, no specs on current drain
Frequency response isn't amazing but should be fixable in post: 160Hz - 14kHz
