The KLOVER MiK 26 Features

Highly Reflective Dish

Detailed Design

Our top flange is designed to attach the transmitter to the top of the dish for better signal strength. This design makes it a top choice directional parabolic microphone.

Vibration Insulation

Vibration Insulation

We use specialty vibration isolation bushings on all attachments and handles to eliminate noise that may come from an operator's movement, enhancing its functionality as a long-distance microphone.

Modular Construction

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

Easy Setup

Time is money in video production, and this parabolic microphone prioritizes ease of use. We use quick-release connectors for every attachment — even the neck strap. Set up takes mere minutes.

Designed For Safety

Designed For Safety

PVC is brittle and creates sharp, spear-like edges if broken. Metal parts can also cause serious injury. However, our carbon fiber parts crush upon impact. All protruding studs have also been removed from the front of the dish, making it the safest option for a professional parabolic microphone.

KLOVER MiK 26: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KLOVER MiK 26 and how does it work?

The KLOVER MiK 26 is a professional parabolic microphone designed to capture clear audio from great distances. It uses a collector dish to focus sound energy onto a microphone element, similar to a satellite dish.

How far can the KLOVER MiK 26 pick up sound?

The KLOVER MiK 26 long-range directional microphone can capture audio from over 500 feet away in quiet environments, like an empty stadium. However, actual range depends on factors like background noise, humidity, temperature, and the loudness of the sound source. In noisier settings, like next to a highway, that range will be significantly reduced. The quieter your surroundings, the farther your reach.

Can I use the KLOVER MiK 26 for filming or live events?

Yes! This parabolic mic is a popular choice for sports broadcasters and film crews. In fact, the KLOVER MiK 26 is used on the sidelines of most NFL games but also used regularly for TV and film productions when standard microphones can't provide the needed audio.
