The black I2 Acoustic Guitar Microphone Kit with TA4F 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 TA4F connector for direct connection to Vega BP2020, PRO-2, ST2020, T23, T25, T37, and T93 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. Rode Lavalier Microphone for canon 6d?

A: Works great! Make sure you buy the connectors you need to hook up to a sound recorder or straight in to the 6D. You'll need an extension if you hard line it into the camera but a Zoom H4N should be great as well.

Q: 2. Is it possible to put with the RODELink Filmmaker Kit the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold even if it is equipped to supply 7.5 V via a Sennheiser wiring configuration and the Rodeling has a 4 V plug-in power supply?

A: The Rode RODELink Filmmaker Kit Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System will power the Sennheiser MKE Essential Omnidirectional Microphone with 3.5mm Connector.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with the Sennheiser EW 100 ENG G4?

Q: 4. How do I record sound with this mic?

A: Hi,, good question. You see that tiny end there... you would buy the appropriate cord in the length you want to fit the input you choose. The wireless systems do different ends. Probably with a high-end product many opt for a wireless unit. Also, you need phantom power since it has no battery to boost the signal. All that is normal for quality audio. I have a plug in unit that supplies phantom power and I have a battery unit which was $20 I think. Yes, it seems like a lot to worry about. Those wireless units do it all in one. A mic like this can have an xlr end. They make it so you buy the end you want to have for this mic. In my case I have the phantom power in my sony recorder, too. The way to sync camera (poor) audio and recorder audio is with a program such as Red Giant Plural Eyes; that is worth owning. Hope this helped. Good audio to a must. No one wants to listen to poor audio. in school they taught us that audio is the one attribute that must be good or else...

Q: 5. I want to get this mic for my ew G4. I´m a filmmaker, but the descriptions are all about stage/theater. is this a good option for filmmaking?

A: This omnidirectional lavalier microphone can be used with any Sennheiser wireless system, including the Evolution Wireless Systems. The mic is marketed to stage performers and singers, because it can handle a high sound pressure, and can withstand sweat and moisture, but you can use it for filmmaking as well.

Q: 6. Will this work with a laptop? Need the adapter MICON-2? Does a laptop have the 1v power on its mic input?

A: The Rode Lavalier requires 2 to 5V of plug-in power for operation. It would be best to use a USB audio interface that has a dedicated mic input with a preamp. The interface can supply the proper amount of power for optimum performance and control of the mic. For the MiCon adapter, use the Rode MiCon 5 Connector for Rode MiCon Microphones - XLR (B&H # ROMICON5) which provides an XLR connector and allows the mic to connect to a standard XLR input. For a very basic interface, you can the Polsen XLR-USB-48 XLR to USB Audio Interface (B&H # POXLRUSB48) which is compatible with Mac and Windows, and no drivers are required. It also features a headphone jack with level control for monitoring and the USB cable is included. Please feel free to contact us by phone or through live chat for further assistance and we can help you to find the best options for your application.

Q: 10. 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.
