"In my opinion, there is really no comparison between the Big Ears Parabolic Microphone and the KLOVER MiK. The Klover microphone has a much tighter pickup pattern. The Klover microphone has a completely different focus method and sounds much more like a condenser shotgun microphone."

"The Klover system worked great! Too good for one of the College’s with which we have a season contract. After I got things settled, we had a great broadcast and the Klover was very instrumental. So good that we received emails and text messages from viewers about the value the sideline sounds made to the broadcast. The Monday following the game, I get a call from the College’s athletic director asking for a meeting ASAP. When the coaches reviewed the broadcast, they got upset that you could hear their audibles and felt that their next opponent would have an advantage. So much so they demanded that we take broadcast down from our website and prohibited us from using the dish in their last two games."

The KLOVER MiK 26 Features

Highly Reflective Dish

Our stiff, highly reflective dish material is made from ballistics-grade plastic and provides a fuller audio signal.

Detailed Design

Our top flange is designed to attach the transmitter to the top of the dish for better signal strength.

Vibration Insulation

We use specialty vibration isolation bushings on all attachments and handles to eliminate noise that may come from an operator’s movement.

Modular Construction

Attachments such as microphone yokes and handles are designed to be interchangeable so you can customize your KLOVER MiK for different jobs and easily replace damaged parts. The dish is designed to be safely stacked without scratching the critical internal surface.

Easy Setup

Time is money in video production. We use quick-release connectors for every attachment — even the neck strap. Set up takes mere minutes.

Designed For Safety

PVC is brittle and creates sharp, spear-like edges if broken. Metal parts can also cause serious injury to the operator and athlete. However, our carbon fiber parts crush upon impact. All protruding studs have also been removed from the front of the dish. (Click on the "Why KLOVER" / "Quality & Safety" menu item to see why we care about this.)

Custom Enclosures

We’ve designed low-profile, custom enclosures to protect parabolic mics mounted in dangerous areas, such as behind the backstop at Major League baseball games.

Parabolic Mic Arrays

This specialty design was created to detect drones approaching secure sites, such as government buildings. Needing coverage for a large area of sky, we designed an array of separate parabolic microphones to listen from any direction within a sector of the sky.

Custom Enclosure Examples

Two custom parabolic microphone enclosures were created for Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. They were resized to fit the backstop and a shelf for an optional remote camera was added.
