The black Countryman I2 Acoustic Guitar Mic Kit TA3F Blackfrom Countryman I2 Acoustic Guitar Mic Kit TA3F Blackis 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 TA3F connector for direct connection to Samson AL-300, CT3, CT7, T32, UT1L, UB7, CB99, VT2L, and VT3L 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: 4. Can this be mounted to a spring boom arm?

A: The reflection filter in this kit would be too heavy to put on a studio arm with a microphone. I would suggest the Auray RF-PBO-16 Premium Reflection Filter (Plastic/Black), BH #AURFPBO16. This moel is much ;lighter, at 3.5 lbs., and made of rugged ABS plastic, with High-Density Open-Cell Acoustic Foam to absorb unwanted ambient room sound.

Q: 7. Is the 1/4" input TRS for long cable run from the mixer?

A: No, the 1/4" input is TS for instruments. You can go out from a mixer 1/4" into a direct box than XLR into the SmartRig+Di for best results, or even TRS to XLR cables and then mind the input gain if you do not have a direct box.

Q: 8. Can this be used with a Blue Yeti microphone?

A: The Blue Yeti is not stand mountable unless using the Blue Radius shockmount.

Q: 9. Does anyone know if it is possible to send a Line Level signal into this unit?
