Klover MiK 16 Parabolic Collector for Cardioid and Omnidirectional Microphones

The Klover MiK 16 is our mid-size parabolic microphone. It turns your omni-directional mic into a long-range microphone that gathers audio from long distances. This long-distance microphone is capable of capturing conversations from up to 300 feet.• Dish Assembly• Handles (Horizontal & Vertical)• Microphone Yoke with Lavaliere Mic AdapterThe unique, modular design Klover MiK 16 employs specifically-designed handles and microphone yoke, which will protect the more expensive collector dish in case of an accident. Any subsequently damaged components can be replaced on an individual basis. Only Capture The Sound You Want Clear And Crisp Audio Recording Our competitors don't even compare to the definition that the Klover MiK is capable of generating. All of the sound energy is focused on a single point by a collector dish's "true" parabolic shape. The non-parabolic shape of the competition scatters sound energy, focusing it on various different locations. Only a percentage of the sound energy actually ends up being focused on the microphone.Most parabolic microphones cause the dish to generate unwelcome, squeaking noises that can ruin the audio. This is due to movement between components and the plastic dish. This is not true of the Klover MiK 16-their connections are made with vibration isolation components to eliminate these superfluous noises. The Dish Makes All The Difference All parabolic microphones have dishes; however, many of these dishes are not a true parabola. They are designed to be able to adjust or focus the dish on a particular target. In other words, you could place the pickup microphone at a certain location for sounds, say 300 feet away; and then adjust the pickup microphone for sounds 100 feet away.Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, the shape of the parabolic dish is no longer a true parabola. The shape of the dish has to be compromised, resulting in most of the sound not being focused on the electronic pickup. Applications For Parabolic Microphones 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.
