It's time to elevate your audio recording capabilities with the MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector, a professional-grade, long-range microphone system designed for capturing high-quality sound from distances up to 600 feet. This robust and reliable parabolic collector is a favorite in the broadcast industry, commonly seen on the sidelines of professional football games, and is equally valued for its military, security, and search and rescue applications due to its exceptional clarity and precision.
The MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector boasts a durable and innovative design, featuring a clear, "True" parabolic shape that focuses sound energy directly onto the microphone, ensuring crisp and clear audio recordings. Unlike competitors' dishes that compromise on shape for adjustability, the MiK 26 maintains its parabolic integrity, providing consistent and focused sound capture without the need for constant adjustments.
This modular system is not only high-quality but also customizable and easy to transport. Its patented design allows for individual components to be replaced if damaged, and the collector dish is stackable for scratch-free transportation. The handles and microphone yoke are intentionally designed to sacrifice themselves to protect the more expensive collector dish, showcasing the system's thoughtful engineering.
To further enhance audio quality, the MiK 26 Tactical incorporates vibration isolation components in all connections, eliminating the unwanted noise that can arise from the movement of components. This attention to detail ensures that even in rapid motion, the integrity of your audio capture remains pristine.
The MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector comes with a suite of accessories to complete your audio recording setup. The Beachtek MicroPro Inline Amplifier is a compact, two-channel active adapter with low-noise preamplifiers, level controls, and headphone monitoring, ensuring that you have full control over your audio input and output. It's easily mounted to the MiK 26 handle and compatible with various microphones for optimal sound quality.
The Countryman B3 Lavalier Microphone is a water-resistant, miniature, omnidirectional condenser microphone that delivers reliable performance in any setting. Its discreet size and high-quality audio capture make it an excellent choice for professional recordings.
For monitoring, the Real Audio HN7506 Headphones provide exceptional comfort and up to 45dB of outside ambience isolation. These headphones are designed to sound like the industry standard Sony MDR-7506, allowing for seamless switching without compromising monitoring standards. Additionally, the HN7506 features a dynamic or electret boom microphone for broadcast-quality audio capture, ensuring that you can monitor and record with confidence even in the loudest environments.
All of these components are safely housed in the KK-26-TE Flight Case, a stylish and sturdy case designed to protect and transport your audio equipment with ease.
Whether you're a sound engineer, audio technician, or a professional in the audio industry, the MiK 26 Tactical Parabolic Collector with its comprehensive accessory set is the reliable and high-quality solution for capturing audio in live settings, panel discussions, open meetings, houses of worship, and nature studies.
