The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with LEMO 3-Pin Connector for WisyCom MTP30, MTP40, MTP40S, MTP41, and MTP41S 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 LEMO 3-pin connector for direct connection to WisyCom MTP30, MTP40, MTP40S, MTP41, and MTP41S 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: 3. Could this microphone be useful when put on a player during a game? (aka mic'd up)

A: Yes, the Rode Wireless GO II Single Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder could be used for capturing in-game audio when properly secured to an athlete during gameplay. You may want to consider adding a lavalier microphone such as the Rode Lavalier GO Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone for Wireless GO Systems (BH #ROLAVGO) so that the transmitter can be properly secured elsewhere in the player's uniform: https://bhpho.to/3LbG3AZ

Q: 4. Does the GoII output timecode or have any features to help sync sound afterwards like the Tentacle Sync does?

A: No, the Wireless Go II does not output timecode. At this time there are no onboard features to help sync audio with video. You could use the old-school "three clap method" of clapping your hands three times at the beginning of the audio and video recording as a cue to facilitate synchronization of the separate tracks in post production.

Q: 5. How many tested charges have these units been rated ?

A: The manufacturer has not provided any specifications regarding their testing of the number of charges that the internal batteries can withstand for the transmitters and receiver included with the Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System/Recorder Kit.

Q: 6. Can I use this for video chats, like in Zoom meetings or FaceTime? Or does it only let you record to a file?

A: Yes, you can use the Wireless Go and Wireless Go II mic systems for video chat and conferencing applications such as Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, and Facebook Live.

Q: 7. Just arrived and plugged in a few of our Sony UWP lavs, but no sound? Figured it automatically toggles between the onboard and lav just by plugging it in? Don't see any documentation that's says otherwise? The lavs certainly work. Is it because of the lock? It certainly click and fits securely.

A: The Rode Wireless GO II 2-Person Compact Digital Wireless Microphone System/Recorder is not compatible for use with lavaliers using the Sony 3.5mm wiring configuration. Rode uses the "Sennheiser" 3.5mm wiring configuration for compatibility. Lavaliers with locking 3.5mm connections are sometimes prevented from making a complete input connection due to the physical size and orientation of the locking mechanism, which can inhibit compatibility as well, regardless of the wiring configuration.

Q: 8. Is this compatible with a Canon Vixia HFS30 camcorder?
