Before you delve into the world of professional audio recording, consider the MiK 26 Parabolic Collector with Whirlwind MD-1 Amplifier, Sennheiser MKE-2 Microphone, and Real Audio HN7506 Headphones. This comprehensive kit from Adorama, a trusted name in high-quality photography and audio equipment, offers everything you need to capture crystal-clear audio from impressive distances.
The centerpiece of this kit, the Klover MiK 26, is our largest parabolic microphone. This innovative device transforms your omnidirectional microphone into a super long-range audio capturing tool, capable of picking up conversations from up to 600 feet away. This makes it an invaluable asset not only in the broadcast industry, where it's a common sight on the sidelines of professional football games, but also in military, tactical, fire, and rescue applications.
The MiK 26 boasts a patented modular design that allows for easy replacement of individual components if damaged. Its handles and microphone yoke are designed to protect the more expensive collector dish. This modular design also allows for easy upgrades to incorporate new features. The collector dish is designed to be stacked for easy, scratch-free transport.
The true parabolic shape of the MiK 26's collector dish focuses all sound energy on a single point, unlike competitor dishes that scatter sound energy. This ensures crisp, clear audio recording. All connections on the MiK 26 incorporate vibration isolation components to eliminate unwanted noise caused by movement.
The Whirlwind MD-1 headphone amplifier is the industry standard for parabolic, boom, and interview mic situations. It offers studio-quality performance in a rugged, battery-operated package. It features an input pad and level control for adjusting to almost any mic or line level signal.
The Sennheiser MKE-2 microphone is a miniature omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone with XLR connection. It's a favorite among field audio engineers, broadcast engineers, and film crews due to its wide frequency and high sensitivity response.
Finally, the Real Audio HN7506 headphones provide professional-grade audio monitoring while protecting your ears from outside noise. They offer extreme isolation from outside noise and use Sony MDR-7506 drivers with special baffling for accurate, full-range monitoring in loud environments.
Whether you're in the military, security, fire and rescue, broadcasting, or simply a nature enthusiast, this kit offers a versatile solution for high-quality audio capture.
