Point Source Audio (PSA) has unveiled the new CM-i3 intercom headset, designed to deliver a combination of noise isolation, lightweight comfort and earphone modularity.
The CM-i3 is available with varying male/female XLR connectors as well as a 3.5 mm option to support intercom apps for iPhones and iPads. All CM-i3 packages include Point Source Audio’s EM-3 in-earphones, microphone assembly, three sets of eartips, windscreen, and a custom storage case.
At a weight of just two ounces, the CM-i3’s patent-pending design is a slim-line, elegant alternative to traditional designs.
“The design advancements of the CM-i3 address what customers are looking for in a professional quality noise-isolation com headset,” states James Lamb, president of Point Source Audio. “Most users wear their com headsets for long hours so we engineered the CM-i3 to provide the necessary performance without all the bulk and weight. And our introductory price is just one more incentive for consumers to experience the CM-i3’s long-wearing comfort for themselves.”
The CM-i3’s binaural functionality helps solve the challenges of high-noise environments by reducing noise and increasing audio intelligibility. It’s also well-suited for camera operators, stage and screen technicians, and control room engineers in all types of professional applications
CM-i3 earphones offer switching between three listening modes—left, right, or left and right — to create the desired audio mix, and without having to remove or adjust the entire headset. Three sizes of eartips are supplied with each CM-i3 intercom headset so users can design a personal fit. The earphones are modular allowing for on-site service replacement, or swapping out with other limited varieties of in-earphones.
The following models—available in varying terminations compatible for Clear-Com, Telex, RTS, and other popular intercom systems—are priced at a limited-time $289 introductory price (a $111 savings off the $400 MSRP) through March 31, 2015:
