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 Sennheiser MKE-2 microphone, a miniature omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone with an XLR connection, is revered for its wide frequency response and high sensitivity, making it ideal for capturing both vocals and instruments with exceptional fidelity.

For monitoring purposes, the Remote Audio HN7506 Headphones provide extreme isolation from outside noise, reducing ambient sound by up to 45dB.

Finally, the KK-16-TE Carrying Case, a waterproof shipping/road case, provides secure and organized storage for the un-assembled KM-16 parabolic microphone and all its components, as well as the preamp, ensuring your equipment remains protected during transport.
