The black I2 Instrument Microphone, High Gain, with TA4F Connector for Electrovoice BP-300, BPU-2, BPU-2Pro, BPU-2Pro-REF, BPU-R, CSB-1000, NBPU, NBPU-G, WTU-2, and RE3-BPT Wireless Transmitters from Countryman is a mic that has been engineered from the ground up for natural on- and off-axis frequency response, low-noise, and precise polar patterns with deep nulls. This tiny instrument microphone can be used to capture audio in sound reinforcement applications for saxophone, violin, viola, cello, double bass, acoustic guitars, piano, brass, and percussion instruments.

The I2 instrument 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 capturing detail in quieter instruments. It is supplied with a foam windscreen, a basic clip, and a carrying case. In addition, the 5' cable is permanently attached to the mic and terminates to a TA4F connector for direct connection to Electrovoice BP-300, BPU-2, BPU-2Pro, BPU-2Pro-REF, BPU-R, CSB-1000, NBPU, NBPU-G, WTU-2, and RE3-BPT wireless bodypack transmitters.

Hypercardioid Polar Pattern    For Instruments and Sound Reinforcement    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 can be aided by the various selection of instrument mounts (sold separately), which position securely and gently to strings, brass, and more.

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.
