Countryman I2 Guitar Instrument Microphone Kit
The I2 was designed around pattern accuracy rather than size: its polar patterns hold their shape with deep nulls and natural off-axis response across the band, in omnidirectional, cardioid, hypercardioid, or bidirectional versions, with a body that measures 7 by 10.5 by 3.5 mm so it stays invisible in a camera shot.
This kit pairs the I2 with Countryman's guitar kit, which uses viscoelastic damping to grip an acoustic guitar body without transmitting key, body, or handling noise into the capsule. Choose standard gain (150 dB SPL, for close miking) or high gain (20 dBA noise floor, for distance miking), a 5 ft cable for wireless use or 10 ft hardwired, and the connector code for the transmitter it needs to plug into.
