The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with 3-Pin XLR Connector for Lectrosonics UH200d, UH400, and UH400a 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 3-Pin XLR connector for direct connection to Lectrosonics UH200d, UH400, and UH400a wireless bodypack transmitters.

Cardioid 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.

The cardioid polar pattern is effective for picking up sound directly in front of the microphone and is less sensitive to sound directly behind the microphone. It picks up about 1/3 less ambient noise than the omnidirectional polar pattern, so the working distance (the distance a performer could be positioned from the microphone) is approximately 1.7 times that of the omni. The cardioid pattern works best when you can position the microphone directly towards the sound you wish to record (a lead singer, for example) and directly away from unwanted sound sources like a crowd or a loud monitor).

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the XLR1 shield against wireless signals when using something like the sennheiser avx?

A: The Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter is totally dependent on wire connections, it does not have any Wifi connectivity.

Q: 2. Will this work with G9?

A: Having just tested it right now, it does not recognize the DMW-XLR1. The contact count on the top of the camera is 2 pins lower than the GH5, GH5s S1, S1H and S5, all of which work fine with it.

Q: 3. Will this attach to lumix s5 when smallrig or niceyrig cage used?

A: The question will depend on the specific camera rig you purchase, as the Panasonic DMW-XLR1 XLR Microphone Adapter must connect to the camera's hot shoe for usage, and the cage used must provide enough clearance for the XLR Microphone Adapter. If you are looking for cages that would work with this adapter, a few options that would work for your usage needs would be either the SmallRig 2052 Cage with Helmet Kit for Panasonic LUMIX GH5/5S & DMW-XLR1, B&H # SM2052, the Movcam Panasonic GH5 Cage, B&H # MOV3033501, the Movcam Cage Kit for Panasonic GH5, B&H # MOMOV3033500, or the CAME-TV Protective Cage Plus for GH5, B&H # CAGH5PLUS.

Q: 4. What is the battery life (that is, running with lithium batteries in the sled)? Assume two xlr mics requiring phantom power.

A: With lithium batteries, the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for FUJIFILM Cameras will run for approximately 8 to 14.5 hours. If you are using two mics that require phantom power, then it would use more battery power, so you would likely get about 8 hours of run time.

Q: 5. Will this work in combination with an external video recorder such as the Atomos Ninja V+?

A: The TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit could be connected to external recorders with a 3.5mm microphone input. In that case, the "Cameras with 3.5mm Input" version should be selected.

Q: 6. Can this work with GFX 100s? Thanks.

A: Digital hot-shoe compatibility between the Tascam CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit for FUJIFILM Cameras and cameras such as the GFX100S will be available via product updates expected within 2022.

Q: 7. Will this work in digital hot shoe mode on an X-H1?

A: Unfortunately the Tascam CA-XLR2d-F is not compatible with the Fujifilm X-H1.

Q: 8. I need to buy a cage for the entire setup but there are no dimensions for the Mic adapter to get a total size to work from, what are the measurements?

A: The DMW-XLR1 is 2.535 W x 2.397 H x 3.220 D. It weighs .381 pounds.

Q: 9. Will it work with the GH6?

A: Yes, the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 XLR Microphone Adapter is compatible with Panasonic Lumix GH6 Mirrorless Camera under the camera capabilities.

Q: 10. When using the 3.5mm Analog out to record directly into the camera is it using the Tascam's HDDA Preamp or the cameras preamp?

A: If you have a microphone connected to one of the XLR inputs on the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit, and the 3.5mm output of the TASCAM CA-XLR2d-F XLR Microphone Adapter Kit is going into the 3.5mm mic input on your camera, it would mean that both the HDDA preamp and the preamp inside of the camera are being used.
