Countryman Isomax 2 Overview

The Countryman Isomax II H hanging microphones are designed for fixed installation over stages, orchestras, choirs, etc. The microphone features an adjustable steel hanger for flexible, long-term positioning in any direction. The Isomax II H also includes 50-feet (15.24m) of specially constructed cable for reliable, noise-free signal and stable microphone positioning.

The design incorporates Countryman's dedication to high audio standards with features that included a low-mass miniature capsule and back-plate polarization. The result yields a high transient response without distortion and a uniform frequency response at the direct and off-axis sections of the polar pattern. Fewer Isomax II H microphones are needed to achieve maximum pickup and a full, rich sound.

The Countryman Isomax II H is a professional miniature overhead microphone that is well suited in theaters, houses-of-worship, sound stages, orchestra pits and much more.

Uniform Response
The capsule's design results in a frequency independent, directional polar pattern. A rich, full sound is achieved with fewer microphones.
Unobtrusive Design
The miniature Isomax II H features a miniature unobtrusive design. The microphone may be installed overhead while remaining out of view.
Flexible Overhead Positioning
The included wire hanger and 50-foot cable provide flexible yet stable long-term positioning over stages, choirs, orchestras, etc.

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?
