This comprehensive kit pairs the robust Klover MiK 26, our largest parabolic microphone, with the industry-renowned Whirlwind MD-1 Amplifier and the discreet yet powerful Countryman B3 Lavalier Microphone, creating an unparalleled audio capturing system.

The Klover MiK 26 Parabolic Collector is a durable and high-quality device that transforms any omnidirectional microphone into a super long-range audio capturing tool. With the ability to gather clear conversations from distances of up to 600 feet, this parabolic microphone is a favorite in the broadcast industry, prominently featured on the sidelines of professional football games. Its versatility extends to military, tactical, fire, and rescue applications, where precision and reliability are paramount.

A Modular, Customizable System That's Easy to Transport:
The patented modular design of the Klover MiK 26 ensures that individual components can be replaced if damaged, extending the life of the system. The handles and microphone yoke are intentionally designed to absorb impact, safeguarding the more expensive collector dish. This modular approach also allows for easy incorporation of new features, such as replacing the standard cross-bar with a monopod/tripod mount to alleviate operator strain. The collector dish itself is stackable for scratch-free transport, emphasizing the system's stylish and professional appeal.

Crisp & Clear Audio Recording:
The Klover MiK 26 boasts a "True" parabolic shape, focusing all sound energy on a singular point for maximum clarity. This design contrasts with competitors' non-parabolic dishes, which disperse sound energy and reduce focus. The Klover MiK 26 eliminates the common issue of component movement causing irritating squeaks, thanks to its vibration isolation components that prevent unwanted noise.

The Technology Behind The Clarity:
The Klover MiK 26's true parabolic shape is key to its ability to capture pristine audio. Unlike other parabolic microphones that compromise shape for adjustable "focus," the Klover MiK 26 maintains its form to ensure sound is consistently concentrated on the electronic pickup.

Eliminating Extraneous Noise:
The Klover MiK 26 addresses the challenge of handling noise with its vibration isolation components and rigid handles, which prevent dish distortion. Additionally, the support for the pickup microphone includes vibration isolation to further eliminate noise from rapid dish motion.

Applications:
The Klover MiK 26 is versatile, suitable for military and security surveillance, fire and rescue operations, broadcasting at professional sports events, panel discussions, open meetings, houses of worship, and nature studies. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures comprehensive sound capture in a variety of settings.

Whirlwind MD-1 Headphone Amplifier:
The Whirlwind MD-1 is the industry standard for parabolic, boom, and interview mic situations, offering studio-quality performance in a rugged, battery-operated package. It features a high-performance input transformer, a high-current line driver, and a headphone monitor amp. With up to 60dB of gain, an input pad, level control, and switchable 18V phantom power, the MD-1 is versatile and reliable. The steel case with belt clip ensures durability, and the separate balanced line level Aux input allows for monitoring of a program mix or director's cues.

Countryman B3 Lavalier Microphone:
The Countryman B3P4FF05B is a water-resistant, miniature, omnidirectional lavalier condenser microphone with an XLR connector. Known for its high-quality, professional-grade sound capture, the B3 is discreet, stylish, and innovative, making it an essential component of this audio capturing system.

In summary, the MiK 26 Parabolic Collector with Whirlwind MD-1 Amplifier and Countryman B3 Lavalier Microphone is a comprehensive, professional-grade audio capture solution that offers durability, high-quality sound, and innovative features for a wide range of applications.
