The black I2 Acoustic Guitar Microphone Kit with 3.5mm Locking Connector 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 positions the acoustic guitar mount and pickup on the center hole of this instrument. In addition, the 5' cable is hardwired to the mic and terminates with a 3.5mm locking connector for direct connection to Sony ZTX-B01 and ZTX-B02RC 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.

Thank you in advance.

A: The Sony ECM-V1BMP style mic WILL screw onto your mic transmitter unit. The Sony ECM-44-BMP will not screw onto to anything. . .you must attach the XLR connector of your choice yourself. Hope this helps. Dave/austin

Q: 8. Can you buy additional mic clips for this microphone?

A: Yes, a lavalier tie clip such as BH #AUTCOLM25 would be suitable for the Tentacle Sync lavalier.

Q: 9. Will this Lav work with the HOLLYLAND LARK MAX?

A: No, because of the locking thread on the connector for the Sennheiser ME4, this can interfere with the connection to the non-locking input, so they may not make a proper connection. You can use a mic like the Saramonic SR-M1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone Cable with 3.5mm TRS Connector (B&H # SASRM1) or the Shure MOTIV MVL Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # SHMVL35MM).

Q: 10. Will it work with Tascam DR-10L Digital Recorder? Any other brand digital recorder?

A: No, the ECM-V1BMP features a proprietary wiring specifically for use with Sony wireless transmitters. The internal hot and ground terminations are different so the mic will not work properly with other devices. The Tascam DR-10L features a locking 3.5mm input connector that is compatible with lavalier mics terminated for Sennheiser wireless transmitters such as the Sennheiser ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # SEME2II), Sennheiser MKE2 Gold Series Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone with Accessories (B&H # SEMKE2EWG) or Countryman B3 Omni Lavalier Mic, Standard Sens, with 3.5mm Locking Connector for Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters (B&H # COB3W4BSR).
