Countryman Isomax 2 Overview

The Countryman Isomax 2 All Purpose Microphone is a miniature and versatile favorite that is well suited for capturing instruments, choir groups, stage performances, ambient audio and much more. The Isomax 2 delivers excellent gain before feedback for maximum performance and minimal noise on stage and in noisy environments.

As an instrument microphone, the Isomax 2 captures brass, strings, percussion and wind instruments with pristine results. For capturing ambiance and group vocals, the microphone rejects off-axis noise and feedback with exceptional results.

A wide variety of connections are available for use with various wireless transmitters. This version features a standard 3-pin XLR connector attached to a 50' long cable.

Versatile Design
The Isomax-2 All Purpose Microphone is designed to effectively capture instruments and vocals in both recording and sound reinforcement.
Hypercardioid Polar Pattern
The hypercardioid polar pattern is versatile and most effective for capturing vocals and instruments without off-axis noise and distortion. The directional pattern is unaffected by frequency variations and provides a high rejection.
Pristine Audio Quality
A wide frequency response and low signal-to-noise ratio result in clean audio reproduction.
High Sound Pressure Handling
The Isomax 2 features an impressive 150dB SPL handling for maximum gain before distortion. This is ideal while close capturing instruments with high transient response.

Didn't work - B&H Unhelpful

By Miriam
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2023-02-10

I ordered this product and it arrived 9 months later without notification or updates from B&H. The product did not work and provided terrible audio. When I reached out to B&H for assistance they would not assist with a return saying we were outside of the 30 day window of ordering the product. We have bought a lot of gear from B&H in the past and we're extremely disappointed in B&H and this product.

Amazing performance in a small package

Our Church was looking for replacement choir mics as the ones we had were over 10 years old and were black and our ceiling is white. After talking to one of the B&H staff, they recommed this product, it isn't the cheapest and not the most expensive. Installation was a snap, the 50' cord is a blessing as some came with only 35', powerful pick up for such a small package. After installation most folks could no find them as they blend in so well. We may need one more mic for the size of our choir, but we were advised to try two as we could add more later if needed.

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?
