Santa (Magic) Uses Small Parabolic Mic to Wow Parents Copy

By Paul Terpstra

The holiday season is a time of joy, wonder, and cherished traditions Families gather, children excitedly whisper their Christmas wishes to Santa, and parents eagerly watch, hoping to capture the magic. But what if parents could listen in on those heartfelt conversations with Santa and not just observe them from a distance?

Randy Long, owner of Santa Magic, found a way to allow parents to listen to every heartfelt whisper, gift wish, and giggle without intrusive microphones, messy wires, or distracting background noise. This unique solution offers a new way to enhance the photo with Santa experience.

Randy mounted a Sound Sharks, the consumer version of our KLOVER MiK 09 parabolic microphone, near Santa's station and connected that microphone to an isolated speaker hanging above the parent's head. The child has no idea that the parents can hear what they are telling Santa, and the parents are the only ones able to hear the child.

The Sound Shark microphone completely transformed our Santa photo experience. Parents were thrilled to hear their child's wish list, and it added a whole new level of magic to our holiday packages. - Randy Long, Santa Magic

Capturing clear, high-quality audio in a busy shopping mall is a significant challenge. Standard microphones struggle in environments filled with holiday chatter, background music, and foot traffic.

🚫 Built-in camera mics sound distant and do not have adequate pickup range. Background noise will be all that is captured.

🚫 Shotgun microphones have an inadequate pickup range and cannot isolate voices from background noise.

🚫 Lapel microphones are intrusive, inconvenient, and can be a huge distraction for children.

Unlike conventional microphones, the KLOVER MiK (and Sound Shark) uses its unique dish to amplify sound from a distance while focusing on your subject, rejecting unwanted noise.

Whether you run a mall Santa setup, holiday photography business, or professional event service, KLOVER MiK parabolic microphones can elevate your customer experience and set you apart from competitors.
