"The good news is that your microphones are working great. They capture the sound on the court as well as I could have hoped. I'm not sure that they exceed the quality of the audio on the World Padel Tour videos, but they at least match it." "Generally, everybody is thrilled with the quality of the audio produced by your microphones. I haven't yet seen anybody copy us yet, but it's only a matter of time. I'm not shy about telling anybody who asks that your parabolic microphones allowed us to leapfrog the professionals in terms of audio quality."

"Are you trying to bankrupt me? I'm just a poor Canadian A1. I pulled the parabolic out of the box yesterday and instantly had a ton of interest from some of the crew. My tech manager loved it. He wants one for his DSLR. He came in during the game and listened in real-time. I'm sure he'll be ordering one soon. I've attached some of the pics where I mounted it. Thought it was pretty ingenious. You may notice in some of the pictures a shotgun on top of the lens. Had to do the AB comparison. Well, no comparison at all. I'll take it."

"The small size of a parab was intriguing, but I wanted to hear it. I have used the parab on Wrestling and on Judo. Due to the small size of the dish, it didn't stand out in the shot. I heard this "tearing" noice and couldn't figure out what it was. Finally, I saw a person pulling masking tape off of a roll 30 feet away from the parab! It doesn't have a tin can sound, nor does it have a resonant hum. Overall you could say I was pleased with my purchase, but maybe a better term would be ecstatic."

"I was impressed with not only the quality of the materials used to build the Klover parabolic microphones, but also the clarity and presence of audio."

"The amazing beauty of your product (KLOVER MiK-09) is that in about a minute one can use whatever lav they have as one of the world's farthest-reaching mics simply by inserting it into the parabolic dome! One can use their lav in a sit down interview one minutes and a couple of minutes later as a fantastic shotgun. And we can easily afford to use two mics at once, one for the person talking on the left and the other for the person talking on the right."

"Ever since I built those boxes around the 9-inch KLOVER MiK and put it on the backstop at baseball and softball, all of the SEC teams that have come to town ask what we are doing for on-field audio. I showed them pics of the boxes with parabs and I've sent them all your way! The other schools that have come to town say the audio we are getting from those parabs are as good or better than the SEC tournament in Hoover. Needless to say they are working out amazing for us." (We provided the custom-cut foam used in our flight case and Chase built a box around the foam.)

"Hi Paul, thank you for letting us test the parabolic mic it's a wonderful device, I would like to move forward with purchasing the mic ..." "I set up a zoom room similar to how a mobile van operates, talent walks in the room sit down without having to put a mic or IFB on, this space has been steamily helpful when a guest has tested positive and our team has to keep our distance."

Custom Bracketry

We can create custom bracketry for you to mount our parabolic microphones on poles or pipes of various sizes with various angles. This has been helpful in both broadcasts as well as security applications.

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.
