Countryman Isomax 2 Overview

The Isomax 2 is built with exceptional gain before feedback and excellent rejection of the surrounding environment. It is lightweight, easy to use, and is designed to handle very-high sound pressure levels. It is supplied with a foam windscreen, basic clip, and carrying case. In addition, the 5' cable is permanently attached to the mic and terminates to a 2.5mm waterproof locking connector for direct connection to Lectrosonics MM200, MM400, MM400a, MM400b, and MM400c wireless bodypack transmitters.

Applications

Inside or outside musical instruments, placed on or hung over stages, and hidden in sets for theater, motion pictures, and TV, the mic can also be used as an audience mic or stage floor mic.

Style

The microphone is sleek, small, and lightweight and will not distract the instrumentalist or the public. It is easy to hang without scaffolding, which eliminates the risk of bulky equipment falling on performers.

Performance

Very-low distortion at high SPL levels encountered inside instruments. It offers an uncolored and clean sound with a superflat frequency response.

Polar Pattern

A microphone with a figure-8 (bidirectional) pickup pattern is sensitive to sound coming from the front and coming from the rear, but has a very-high rejection to sound coming from the sides. Great for mid/side and Blumlein stereo applications.

question

My preamp phantom power is 48V. Will that power the ISOMAX 2?

Yes. 48v will power this wired xlr microphone.

Would this mic also be acceptable to clip on an on-camera interview subject? Others in this $ range seem to only be omni mics.

Asked by: Bob

Thanks Calvin. I was mainly referring to recording sessions where the subject is speaking directly to the camera, for example reading off of a teleprompter. Seems like this mic would work in those situations. Correct?
