Klover Mik 16 Kit, Includes KM-16 Parabolic Microphone, KMEQ Lavalier Microphone & Sound Devices MM-1 Amplifier

When it comes to capturing high-quality, clear, and crisp audio from long distances, the Mik 16 Kit, inclusive of the KM-16 Parabolic Microphone, KMEQ Lavalier Microphone, and Sound Devices MM-1 Amplifier, stands out as a professional, innovative, and durable solution.

The KM-16 Parabolic Microphone, a mid-size offering from the reputable brand Klover, is designed to transform your omni-directional microphone into a long-range audio capturing device. With the ability to pick up conversations from up to 300 feet away, this microphone is ideal for various recording and live sound applications. Its unique, modular design features specifically-designed handles and a microphone yoke that protect the collector dish, ensuring longevity and durability.

What sets the Klover MiK 16 apart is its true parabolic shape, which focuses all sound energy on a single point, unlike competitors' non-parabolic shapes that scatter sound energy. This design, coupled with vibration isolation components, eliminates unwelcome noises caused by movement between components, ensuring only the sound you want is captured.

The kit also includes the Sound Devices MM-1 Microphone Preamplifier, a single-channel, portable device with a powerful headphone monitoring function. Its transformer-balanced input and output, along with a bipolar +/-15 volt power supply, ensure low-noise, low-distortion gain at all switch positions. This versatile preamplifier is powered by two-AA batteries or external 5-18 VDC, making it a portable and convenient choice for professionals.

Completing the kit is the KMEQ Equalized Microphone, a custom-built version of the Countryman B3, designed specifically for our parabolic microphones. This water-resistant, miniature, omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone features an XLR connector and an electronic circuit that equalizes the output of the microphone to match the acoustic characteristics of the Klover MiK 09 and MiK 16 parabolic collectors. This results in a flatter, more natural sound than when used with a standard lavaliere microphone element.

Whether you're involved in broadcasting, military/security, fire & rescue, panel discussions, open meetings, houses of worship, or nature study, the Mik 16 Kit offers a stylish, high-quality audio solution that outperforms alternatives.
