The black I2 Acoustic Guitar Microphone Kit with TA5F 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 TA5F connector for direct connection to Lectrosonics DBa, DCHT, LMa, LMb, LT, PDR, SM, SMa, SMB, SMDa, SMDB, SMQ, SMQa, SMQV, SMV, SMWB, SMDWB, SPDR, UM400a, and UM450 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: 1. My friend gave me his but neither him or I know if it has to have a specific program to work, does it? And can I just plug it in and will it work for iPhone 6plus voice memo?

Q: 3. Will this work into a traditional mixer? If so, is the array then managed via a PC?

A: The Voice Tracker I features a standard analog mic output jack on a 1/8 connection. This can be used directly with a computer mic input or via USB with the optional adapter. ( included free with this package ).The unit can be used with a mixer as well by using an adapter such as the Kopul XLR to Mini adapter. The functionality of the mic is handled automatically and via physical switches on the unit itself. No software is offered or required.

Q: 4. I am interested in your B&H # ACVTIAM. I have already installed the Pyle Home Audio PAMP1000 160 Watt Stereo Power Amplifier. Question #1 is there a way to make this product wireless and if not are there adapters to convert it from the 1/8 plug to those on the amplifier?Thanks

A: This microphone must be connected to a component that offers a microphone input and supplies plug-in power for the microphone. The Pyle Audio amplifier supplies neither.

Q: 5. Our audio connection (to a PC) would have to be about 25 feet. Will that be a problem?

A: No problem we are using this Microphone array about the same length that you will be using and it dose work great. The array dose need phantom power to operate and as long as you can get a 1/8 inch female to male extension cable in the length that you need you should be good to go. Also try to keep it away from any AC vents as it will pick the air coming out of the vents. I hope this helps.

Q: 6. I assume this is a set of 2. Is it possible to get both in one color?

A: These Countryman tie clips are currently only sold in this configuration.

Q: 7. How can I wire this instead of using it wirelessly? I know this thing needs power and it won't work when I plug it into a camera with an adapter.

A: You can use the Rode MiCon 2 Connector for Rode MiCon Microphones (B&H # ROMICON2 / MFR # MICON-2) which will allow you to connect the Rode lavalier mic directly to a 3.5mm TRS mic input on a DSLR or mirrorless camera or a portable recorder and use plug-in power supplied by the input of the camera or recorder.

Q: 8. Does this mic work with the Tascam DR-10L Pro recorder?
