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

Lightweight
Weighing just under 3 pounds, the KLOVER MiK 16 parabolic microphone is easy to operate and transport.

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.

VERSATILE SETUP
With three different mounting systems, you can operate the KLOVER MiK by hand or permanently affix it for nearly invisible audio capture.

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.

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.
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.


The Minnesota Twins also purchased two custom enclosures for Target Field. They were resized to fit the trapezoidal opening in the backstop. A shelf for an optional remote camera was also added.


Two custom parabolic microphone enclosures were also created for Minute Maid Field, home of the Houston Astros. They were resized to fit the existing signage along the backstop.
