The Isomax 2 All Purpose Microphone is designed to effectively capture instruments and vocals in both recording and sound reinforcement.
The Hypercardioid polar pattern is versatile and ideal for capturing vocals and instruments without off-axis noise and distortion. The directional pattern is unaffected by frequency variations and provides a high rejection.
A wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio result in clean audio reproduction.
The Isomax 2 features an impressive 150dB SPL handling for maximum gain before distortion. This is ideal while close capturing instruments with high transient response.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Will this work with an iPhone, using lighting to 3.5mm headphone adapter?
A: Yes, I love the mic. I pair it with my iPhone, gopro, and my canon dslr. For the iPhone I bought a monopod, already had a ball-mount/thread adapter, from B&H purchased a Melamount iPhone case. So the phone gets installed in the case (has 2 1/4 20 thread mounts and 3 mounting spots for the Rode Mic and video light). The case has 2 folding handles; think I paid $35 & shipping. The mic definitely increases the decibels.

A: It pleases me. I use it for recording passing trains for which it is excellent. I haven't tried recording voices.
