Become immersed in unparalleled audio capture with the MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector, a state-of-the-art solution for long-range sound acquisition. This premium parabolic microphone system boasts a unique design that not only fits snugly into a waterproof case but also maintains the high-performance standards of the classic Klover MiK 26. As Adorama's largest parabolic microphone offering, it transforms any omnidirectional microphone into a powerful long-distance tool, capable of picking up conversations from distances of up to 600 feet.
The MiK 26 Tactical is a favorite in the broadcast industry, frequently spotted on the sidelines of professional football games. Its versatility extends to military, tactical, fire, and rescue applications, demonstrating its robust functionality across various demanding environments.
The patented modular design of the Klover MiK 26 ensures ease of transport and the ability to replace individual components if damaged. The handles and microphone yoke are intentionally designed to absorb impact, safeguarding the more valuable collector dish. This modular system also allows for easy integration of new features, such as swapping the standard cross-bar for a monopod/tripod mount to alleviate operator strain.
The collector dish's "True" parabolic shape is engineered to focus all sound energy onto a single point, unlike competitor dishes that compromise shape for adjustable "focus" points. This precise design ensures crisp and clear audio recording, free from the distortion that non-parabolic shapes introduce.
To eliminate extraneous noise, the Klover MiK 26 incorporates vibration isolation components in all connections to the dish. The rigid handles prevent operator-induced distortion, and additional vibration isolation in the microphone support eradicates noise from rapid dish movements.
Applications for the MiK 26 Tactical are vast, ranging from military and security surveillance to fire and rescue operations. It's also ideal for broadcasting sports events, panel discussions, open meetings, houses of worship, and nature studies, capturing clear sound from a distance without intrusion.
Complementing the MiK 26 Tactical is the Whirlwind MD-1 headphone amplifier, the industry standard for parabolic, boom, and interview mic situations. This rugged, battery-operated 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, switchable 18V phantom power, and a steel case with a belt clip for durability. The separate balanced line level Aux input and MIX control allow for precise monitoring balance between the mic driver section and Aux input.
The Sennheiser MKE-2 microphone, a miniature omni-directional lavalier condenser with an XLR connection, is revered among audio professionals for its wide frequency response and high sensitivity. Whether capturing vocals or instruments, the MKE-2 ensures exceptional sound fidelity.
Rounding out this professional audio package are the Koss Pro4AA headphones, which have set the benchmark for full-size professional headphones since their introduction in 1970. Known for their true full-frequency performance, high fidelity, and impressive noise isolation, the Pro4AAs are a beloved choice among broadcast and recording professionals. The 8-foot coiled cord and 6.3mm plug, along with the headphones' ability to isolate sound and deliver the intensity of a live performance, make them an essential tool for any serious audio engineer or audiophile.
The entire system is safely housed in the robust KK-26-TE Flight Case, ensuring your equipment remains protected and ready for transport to any location, from the studio to the field.
Elevate your audio recording capabilities with the MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector and accompanying high-quality components, available at Adorama, where professional audio meets expert craftsmanship.
