The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with 4-Pin Hirose Connector for Audio Technica AEW-T1000, AEW-T1000a, ATW-T1001, ATW-T35m, ATW-T601, ATW-T701, ATW-T75, and ESW-T211 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 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Audio Technica AEW-T1000, AEW-T1000a, ATW-T1001, ATW-T35m, ATW-T601, ATW-T701, ATW-T75, and ESW-T211 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Hypercardioid 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 hypercardioid polar pattern has a narrower pickup pattern in its front than the cardioid polar pattern. It offers better rejection of ambient noise and the working distance is about twice that of the omni polar pattern. The hypercardioid has a small "pickup lobe" directly behind the microphone and exhibits maximum rejection areas behind and to the sides (about 60 degrees away from the rear of the microphone on either side) of the mic. The hypercardioid pattern works best when the loudest unwanted sounds—like speakers—can be positioned in these nulls.

Q: 1. Does the receiver have an SD card slot or a way to store the files without going through a camera or phone?

A: The receiver does not record audio files by itself. To record audio without a camera or phone, you plug this system into an external audio recorder, and record to an SD card, such as this B&H # ZOH1N.

Q: 2. Do the mics or receiver have a limiter?

A: No, this system does not come with on-board limiters. You do have the ability to adjust the output volume from the receiver, but limiting functions would be done in your recorder, mixer, or camera,

Q: 3. Can I use it with Canon 5D Marka IV to trigger a Yognuo flash and/or to release the shutter?

A: Depending on the flash the receiver may be built in. Yes this can be a shutter release.

Q: 4. What external microphone would you recommend as a replacement for the included one? I’ve purchased one and it gives a ton of feedback.

A: RODE lavalier Go is a descent choice.

Q: 5. Can I attach the Android version to a phone even if there is a case on?

A: It really depends on the case you have and how much access you have to the phone's USB-C port. The UC receiver does need to be plugged in all the way in order to function properly. It was designed to be flush mounted to the phone so it's easy to use when you're moving around. If you do need to keep the phone inside a case that prevent full access to the USB-C port, you can try a USB-C extender like the IOGEAR USB Type-C Male to Female Adapter - 1' (B&H #IOG2LU3CMF). Keep in mind that this is not how the receiver was intended to attach, so consider using hook-and-look fastener (velcro) to secure the UC receiver onto the back of your phone's case. But the best way to assure that the wireless mic system works properly and to avoid damage is to attach the receiver directly to the phone without an adapter, just as it was designed to be used.

Q: 6. Can this microphone be attached to the Panasonic HC-V1I0 video camera?

A: This version will not work with your camera, but there is one that will: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1552873-REG/comica_audio_boomx_d_d2_2_4g_digital_1_trigger_2_wireless.html The microphone that comes with this kit is not intended to plug directly into your camera.

Q: 7. Is this better than the BoomX-U?

A: Neither unit is better than the other. This unit works in the 2.4ghz range and slightly simpler to pair, while the BoomX-U is based in the UHF frequency range. The X-D would be great for close range quick setups, will the X-U would be great for longer distance interviews in a challenging wi-fi environment.

Q: 8. Is the Comica Audio Boomx-D wireless microphone compatible with the CANON VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder?

A: Yes, this system is compatible with your camcorder. Just a couple things to look out for: the wireless system comes with two output cables, one is TRS to TRS and the other is TRS to TRRS. You want to use the TRS to TRS when connecting to the camcorder. Both ends look the same and have two black band (TRRS has three black bands). Also, your camcorder does not have a shoe mount for the receiver, so to make things easy we recommend using a shoe mount bracket, like this one from Vello: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1472520-REG/vello_cb_550_dual_shoe_bracket.html

Q: 9. Does the receiver have an SD card slot or a way to store the audio files without a camera or phone?
