Because capturing pristine audio is essential for professionals in various fields, the Mik 16 Kit offers an unparalleled audio recording solution. This comprehensive kit includes the KM-16 Parabolic Microphone, Whirlwind MD-1 Amplifier, Sennheiser MKE-2 Microphone, and Koss Pro 4AA Headphones, each component selected for its superior performance and reliability.
The KM-16 Parabolic Microphone, crafted by the reputable brand Klover, is a testament to innovation in audio capture technology. This mid-size parabolic microphone is designed to transform your omni-directional mic into a long-range audio capturing powerhouse, adept at picking up conversations and sounds from distances of up to 300 feet. Its unique, modular design features specifically-designed handles and a microphone yoke with a Lavaliere Mic Adapter, ensuring that the more expensive collector dish is safeguarded against accidents. Should any component sustain damage, it can be replaced individually, adding to the kit's durability and long-term value.
The Klover MiK 16 stands out with its "true" parabolic shape, which concentrates sound energy on a single point, ensuring clear and crisp audio recordings. Unlike competitors with non-parabolic shapes that scatter sound energy, the MiK 16's precision design avoids the common issue of squeaking noises caused by movement between components. Vibration isolation components are utilized to eliminate these extraneous sounds, making the MiK 16 a leader in its class for audio definition.
The versatility of the KM-16 Parabolic Microphone extends to a variety of applications, including military and security surveillance, fire and rescue operations, professional sports broadcasting, panel discussions, open meetings, houses of worship, and nature studies. Its ability to capture sound from a distance without detection or disturbance is unparalleled.
Complementing the parabolic microphone is the Whirlwind MD-1 Amplifier, an industry standard for parabolic, boom, and interview mic situations. This rugged, battery-operated mic preamp delivers studio-quality sound with a high-performance input transformer, high-current line driver, and headphone monitor amp. It features an input pad, level control for various signals, switchable 18V phantom power, and a steel case with a belt clip for durability. The separate balanced line level Aux input and headphone volume control allow for precise monitoring of audio.
The Sennheiser MKE-2 Microphone, a miniature omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone with an XLR connection, is favored by field audio engineers, broadcast engineers, and film crews for its wide frequency response and high sensitivity. Ideal for capturing both vocals and instruments, the MKE-2 ensures that every detail is recorded with clarity.
Rounding out the Mik 16 Kit are the Koss Pro 4AA Headphones, which have set the standard for full-size professional headphones since their introduction in 1970. Known for their true full-frequency, high-fidelity performance, and impressive noise-isolating capabilities, these headphones have been a mainstay in the radio and recording industries. The 8-foot coiled cord and 6.3mm (1/4") plug provide convenience and flexibility, while the sound quality delivers the excitement of a live performance in every recording.
In summary, the Mik 16 Kit is a professional, high-quality, and reliable choice for audio professionals seeking innovative and durable equipment. With its combination of a cardioid and omnidirectional polar pattern, this kit is versatile for different recording situations and is backed by the trusted reputation of Klover for producing high-quality audio equipment.
