The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with TA4F Connector for Shure AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4F, GLXD1, PGXD1, QLXD1, and ULXD1 Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a mic that has been built from the ground up for smooth frequency response, low noise, and precise polar patterns with deep nulls and natural on- and off-axis response. It can be used to capture natural audio for this instrument.

The I2 microphone is suitable for distance miking that is invisible in front of audiences and on camera. This version features increased sensitivity for distance miking and captures detail for quieter instruments. Flexible close miking techniques are aided by the bass and cello mount, which sits securely behind the bridge with a positioning arm for placement. In addition, the 5' cable is hardwired to the mic and terminates with a TA4F connector for direct connection to Shure AD1, ADX1, AXT100TA4F, GLXD1, PGXD1, QLXD1, and ULXD1 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Figure-8 Polar Pattern    For Instruments and Sound Reinforcement    Hardwired Connector    Natural On & Off-Axis Frequency Response    For Uncolored Recordings    Reduced Feedback Issues

The I2 maintains excellent pattern control and frequency response at all angles. It offers uncolored recordings and reduced feedback issues.

Flexible close miking techniques are aided by the instrument mounts, which position securely and gently on the instrument for capturing audio.

Small size and sonic precision makes this microphone suitable for X-Y, M-S, and other techniques that rely on accurate, coincident positioning and consistent patterns.

A microphone with a figure-8 (bidirectional) pickup pattern is sensitive to sound coming from the front and coming from the rear, but has a very high rejection for sound coming from the sides. Great for mid/side and Blumlein stereo applications.

Q: 1. If I simply records with iPhone video, will it know this mic is attached to to use it? (Or do I need to record via the app?)

A: Yes; the iPhone recognizes when a microphone is plugged in and will turn off the internal iPhone microphone and the external microphone will be used.

Q: 2. Most of my portable video is done by phone so this would work. My question is, would it work with my Nikon D5000? I realize the app is still needed to adjust settings.

A: This microphone will not connect to your camera.

Q: 3. (1. Does the mobile kit come with a lightning adaptor? (2. If not, is this compatible with iPhone devices via either a usb-c to lightning cable, or the included usb-c to 3.5mm, with an additional 3.5mm to lightning adapter?

A: 1. No. 2. You can use a TRRS to Lightning adapter to make it compatible with iOS like [B&H # APLAADAP].

Q: 4. Is there a shock mount for this mic so I can film on the move without picking up any unnecessary bumps/feedback?

A: The MV88+ kit is designed to record while on the move. The legs of the Manfrotto mini tripod fold up so the stand can be used as a handgrip while holding the mic securely. As another option for a handheld system that can hold the mic along with your smartphone and allow you to move freely while recording, check out the Shoulderpod G2 Professional Mobile Video Grip (B&H# SHG2BK01EU1).

Q: 5. Can I get the phone clamp by so I can insert on it another microphones or light or accessory? what do you recommend? THanks!

Q: 6. So this is effectively an M+S USB microphone. Does it expose both M and S channels separately over USB or is it only a stereo mix of them?

A: When using the Shure Motiv Audio, or the Shure Motiv Video free app for IOS or Android. you have compete control over the polarity patterns. You can have it switched to cardioid to control the middle, or switch it to Bi-directional to control the sides. You also have the ability to set it for M/S to control everything as once. However, if you are looking to use the M/S polarity pattern and have control of each channel, it does not have this capability. The M/S Pattern will mix it down into a stereo mix.

Q: 7. Is there a remote shutter that will work with the Motiv software?

A: The Shure Motiv app for the MV88+ does not support remote control.

Q: 8. Does the mv88 or mv88+ show up and work as expected in the Blackmagic camera app for video recording on iPhone 15?

A: According to users on the Blackmagic Forum, the Blackmagic Camera app will recognize the mic included with the Shure MV88+ Video Kit, but it will not record 24-bit audio or stereo audio. The app will show that the mic is recording the left and right channels, but the recorded audio is mono and changes to the mic gain, compressor, and DSP effects are not acknowledged. The MV88+ does work properly when used with the Shure MOTIV app.

Q: 9. Can this be used on a Fujifilm X-T30?

A: No, the Shure MV88+ is a digital mic that is designed for use with mobile devices only. It is not compatible for use with analog audio inputs on cameras and recorders. As another option for a compact mic that can be used with cameras and mobile devices, you may want to consider the new Sennheiser MKE 400 (B&H # SEMKE400M). This mic is also available in a kit with the same Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod and a phone clamp with a cold shoe mount which is the Sennheiser MKE 400 Mobile Kit Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone with Smartphone Recording Bundle (B&H # SEMKE400MK). The Sennheiser MKE 200 (B&H # SEMKE200) is a smaller and simpler mini shotgun mic that is also available with the same mini tripod and phone clamp (B&H # SEMKE200MK). The Rode VideoMicro (B&H # ROVIDEOMICRO) is also available in a kit with a similar mini tripod and phone holder (B&H # ROVLOGVMICRO). Since the Fujifilm X-T30 has a 2.5mm TRS mic input, you can use the Beachtek SC25 3.5mm to 2.5mm TRS Output Cable (B&H # BESC25) to connect any of the mics to your camera.
