Countryman I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with 4-Pin Hirose Connector for Sony Wireless Transmitters (Black)

The black I2 Bass and Cello Microphone Kit with 4-Pin Hirose Connector for Sony WRT-420 and WRT-822B Wireless Transmitters 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 captures detail for quieter instruments. Flexible close miking techniques are aided by the bass and cello mount, which sits securely behind the bridge with a positioning arm for placement. In addition, the 5' cable is hardwired to the mic and terminates with a 4-pin Hirose connector for direct connection to Sony WRT-420 and WRT-822B wireless bodypack transmitters.

Unparalleled Precision

The I2 maintains excellent pattern control and frequency response at all angles. It offers uncolored recordings and reduced feedback issues.

Complete Control

Flexible close miking techniques are aided by the instrument mounts, which position securely and gently on the instrument for capturing audio.

Effortless Possibilities

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.

Polar Pattern

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.
