Klover KM-09-K-KEQ MiK 09 Parabolic Microphone with Equalized Microphone

The Klover MiK 09 is their smallest broadcast quality parabolic microphone. It turns your omni-directional lavalier mic into a long-range microphone that gathers audio from up to 50 feet in quiet situations.

Features:

• A Modular, Customizable system
• Wind Resistant & Easy to hide
• Highly Compatible
• Long Range Pickup
• Eliminates Background Noise
• Wind Resistant

A Modular, Customizable system
The small size of the Klover MiK 09 and our dual mounting system lets the unit be mounted directly to the video camera. The cylindrical mount lets the KM-09 be mounted wherever a standard shotgun mic would normally be mounted. The block mount lets the KM-09 be mounted to a hot shoe. No matter how you mount it, the Klover MiK 09 turns your omni-directional lapel (lavaliere) mic into a long range microphone capable of gathering audio from 30 feet or more, while rejecting sound from behind or from the side better than a shotgun mic. A speaker that is within 6 feet of the unit will sound as if they were wearing a mic. Hiding mic cables and troublesome transmitters are no longer a concern. Even if you mic up your speaker, a Klover MiK can be a lifesaver if something goes wrong.

Wind Resistant & Easy to hide
The small size of the Klover MiK 09, its transparent dish and its nondescript color make it almost disappear. If required, the frame of the KM-09 can be made from transparent polycarbonate, making it even more inconspicuous. The dish itself shields the microphone element from the wind making the KM-09 less susceptible to wind noise. The available "dead cat" wind screen provides even more resistance to wind noise.

Highly Compatible
The Klover MiK 09 parabolic collectors are compatible with nearly all cameras. (Just install an omni-directional lapel within the unit and connect it to your camera as you normally would.)

Long Range Pickup
The pickup range of the Klover MiK 09 is equal to or better than, high-end shotgun microphones.

Eliminates Background Noise
The Klover MiK 09 is extremely focused and better at rejecting off-axis sounds.

Wind Resistant
The electronic pickup is located inside the parabolic dish to shield it from wind.

Klover Equalized Microphone
A water-resistant, miniature, omni-directional lavalier condenser microphone with XLR connector. Inside the XLR connector, however, is an electronic circuit that equalized the output of the microphone to match the acoustic characteristics of the Klover MiK 09 parabolic collector. The equalization also works extremely well with the Klover MiK 16, giving each a flatter, more natural sound than when used with a standard lavaliere microphone element.

This microphone, custom made for Klover by Countryman Associates, provides a deeper, more natural sound from our parabolic microphones. This mic requires Phantom power (9 V to 48 V) to operate.
