About Klover MiK 26 Parabolic Collector,MM-1 Amplifier, MKE-2 Mic & HN7506 Headphones

Our KM-26 kits combine the Klover MiK 26 parabolic microphone with the most commonly used accessories. Any one of these kits will provide everything you need to begin capturing audio from distance you never dreamed were possible.

- MiK 26 Parabolic Collector -
The Klover MiK 26 is our largest parabolic microphone. It turns your omni-directional mic into a super long-range microphone that gathers audio from great distances. This long-distance microphone is capable of capturing conversations from up to 600'. This model is a staple in the broadcast industry, seen every weekend on the sidelines of professional football games, but they are also used for military/tactical uses as well as fire and rescue applications.

Benefits

A Modular, Customizable System That's Easy to Transport
The patented modular design of the Klover MiK allows individual components to be replaced if they should become damaged. In addition, the handles and microphone yoke have been designed to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the more expensive collector dish. The modular design allows modules to be replaced to incorporate new features. The standard cross-bar can be easily replaced with a monopod/tripod mount (A monopod greatly reduces the strain on the operator). The Klover MiK's collector dish is designed to be stacked so they can be transported without scratching the critical internal surface.

Crisp & Clear Audio Recording
The "True" parabolic shape of the collector dish focuses all of the sound energy on a single point. The non-parabolic shape of our competitor's dish focuses the sound energy on different locations. Only a small portion of the sound energy is focused on the microphone. With most parabolic microphones, movement between components causes the plastic dish to generate unwanted, irritating squeaking noises that are picked up by the microphone. However, all of the Klover MiK 26's connections incorporate vibration isolation components to eliminate these unwanted noises.

The Technology Behind The Clarity
Many parabolic microphones use reflector dishes that are not a true parabolic shape. The idea is to allow the microphone to be adjusted or "focused" to a particular target distance. For example, you can place the pickup microphone at a certain point if you want to focus in on sounds 100 feet away from the microphone and a different point if you want to focus in on sounds 300 feet away from the microphone. However, in order to focus sounds arriving from different distances at different points the parabolic shape of the dish must be compromised. The result is that most of the sound is not focused on the electronic pickup.

How is Extraneous Noise Eliminated
It is common for parabolic microphones to have two handles located on opposite sides of the dish with no support between them. As a result any movement of the handles causes the plastic dish to generate vibrations and unwanted noise that is picked up by the electronic microphone. All connections to the Klover MiK 26's dish incorporate vibration isolation components to eliminate these unwanted noises. In addition the handles are designed to be rigid so the operator cannot distort the dish.

Rapid motion of the dish can cause the pickup microphone itself to exert forces on the dish's rim and create noise. We have incorporated vibration isolation components into the support for the Klover MiK 26's pickup microphone so this noise is also eliminated.

Applications

Military / Security
The long range use of parabolic microphones allows surveillance to be carried out from a safe distance without detection.

Fire & Rescue
Parabolic microphones are used broadly in search and rescue efforts. In tests, calls for help, have been heard over a mile away.

Broadcasting
Parabolic microphones are used at almost every type of professional sport. In addition, they can be used to pick up speakers in a crowd .

Panel Discussions
High performance parabolic microphones can be used to mic members of a panel discussion without equipping.

Open Meetings / Q&A
A high quality parabolic microphone can be used to amplify the comments or questions of attendees at open meetings.

Houses of Worship
A single parabolic microphone located in the rear of the auditorium can pick up the speaker regardless.

Nature Study
Parabolic microphones can be used to record the sounds of nature without disturbing the habitat.

- Sound Devices MM-1 Microphone Preamplifier -
Highly versatile and portable, Sound Devices' MM-1 is a single-channel, portable microphone preamplifier with a powerful headphone monitoring function. Proven in mission-critical applications, the high-performance microphone preamp's transformer-balanced input and output and bipolar +/-15 volt power supply produce low-noise, low-distortion gain at all switch positions. It features an "unclippable" dual-stage limiter and two-position high-pass filter. Flexible microphone powering provides phantom power at 48 volts or 12 volts and 12-volt T-power. It is powered from two-AA batteries or external 5-18 VDC.

- Sennheiser MKE-2 microphone -
The Sennheiser MKE2 miniature omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone with XLR connection is an industry favorite among field audio engineers, broadcast engineers and film crews. It features a wide frequency and high sensitivity response. Ideal for vocals and instruments.

- Real Audio HN7506 headphones -
These surprisingly comfortable phones have been a big hit for professionals who want to protect their ears while monitoring the quality of their recordings. Sealing off outside ambience by as much as 45dB, the HN-7506 is designed to sound like the industry standard Sony MDR-7506 and allows the switch from one to another without loss of monitoring standard and reliability. Sound mixers often find themselves in very high noise environments such as helicopters, raceways, firing ranges, rock concerts, etc., left with ringing ears and wondering what was actually being recorded.

Providing extreme isolation from outside noise and using Sony MDR-7506 drivers with special baffling, the Remote Audio HN-7506 allows accurate, full-range monitoring in loud environments and adds a high degree of protection from hearing damage while giving the user the familiar sound of the industry standard Sony headphones.
