The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with TA5F Connector for Audio Technica ATW-T101 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to Audio Technica ATW-T101 wireless bodypack transmitters.

Omnidirectional 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 omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all directions equally offering the flattest frequency response, lowest noise level, and is least susceptible to wind noise and vibration. It is recommended for recording and sound reinforcement of acoustic instruments such as percussion, guitar, saxophone, and piano.

Q: 4. 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: 5. 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
