{"product_id":"countryman-i2hh10xlr-bkit","title":"Countryman I2 Instrument Microphone Kit For Bass and Cello | XLR3 Male | Hypercardioid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Countryman I2 Bass and Cello Kit is engineered for orchestral and ensemble applications where clean, low-noise pickup and camera-invisible placement are non-negotiable. The microphone's miniature capsule is designed around smooth frequency response and precise polar patterns with deep off-axis rejection, making it equally suited for close miking in live performance and distance miking in broadcast or recording contexts. Engineers working in televised orchestral productions, classical recording sessions, or theatrical pit configurations will find the combination of tiny form factor and low self-noise especially valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe included Bass and Cello Mount is the practical differentiator for this kit. It locks securely behind the bridge using a viscoelastic damping material that absorbs transmitted mechanical vibrations before they reach the capsule, a common failure point for clip-on solutions in this category. The positioning arm on the Cello Mount provides multiple placement options, including under the bridge or over the F-hole, giving engineers or performers the flexibility to optimize tone without compromising instrument playability. The active silver side of the capsule must face the instrument body for correct pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere generic instrument clip mics rely on friction fits and lack isolation from structural vibration, the I2 kit's dedicated mount system delivers consistent placement session to session. The XLR hardwired connection and phantom power compatibility make integration with standard console and preamp chains straightforward, with no adapter stages to introduce noise or failure points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Countryman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52450787524792,"sku":"140809","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/I2HH10XLR-BKIT_7dc26992-c337-433c-8e0e-b6c7a0b659ab.webp?v=1785870153","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/countryman-i2hh10xlr-bkit","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
