The KLOVER MiK 16 Parabolic Microphone Is Now More Focused

By Paul Terpstra

More focused version of the KLOVER MiK 16 parabolic microphone

We are excited to introduce our new, more directional KLOVER MiK 16 parabolic microphones.

Initially developed for use in baseball stadiums where larger models might obstruct fans' views, the Klover MiK 16 has proven its versatility across various applications. Weighing just three pounds, it excels in mobility while delivering professional-grade audio quality.

So, what is different with the new KLOVER MiK 16?

The handheld models (KLOVER MiK 16 and KLOVER MiK 16 Broadcast) are now constructed with the new deeper dish that provides a tighter pickup pattern. The new dish provides a pickup pattern very similar to the smaller KLOVER MiK 09 and the larger KLOVER MiK 26.

The stationary models ("KLOVER MiK 16 Hard Mount", "KLOVER MiK 16 Sound Shield", and the "KLOVER MiK 16 in Enclosure") will continue to be constructed with the original dish. The original dish provides a slightly wider pickup pattern than the smaller KLOVER MiK 09 and the larger KLOVER MiK 26. (We can build any model with either dish upon request.)

Key Features of the KLOVER MiK 16:

1. Long-Range Capability: Captures clear audio from distances of 250+ feet

2. Versatile Applications: Ideal for sports broadcasting, college events, press conferences, law enforcement, and presentations

3. Lightweight Design: At only 3 pounds, it offers superior portability

4. Multiple Configurations: Available in handheld, broadcast, hard mount, sound shield, and enclosure versions

5. Two Different  Pickup Patterns: The original dish provides a slightly wider pickup pattern and the new deeper dish design provides a tighter audio focus.

What people are saying about the KLOVER MiK:

“We hear things that were all but impossible to get before. Klover MiK has become the industry standard.” – Fred Alous, Senior mixer for FOX Sport and Audio consultant

“We just finished our first home stand. We loved the (KLOVER MiK-16) Parabs! They sound great! You can hear the pop of the mitt and the crack of the bat so crisply.“ – Andrew Halverson, Director, Broadcast – Minnesota Twins Baseball Club

“I used them on one football game and was instantly sold… I am happy to say I will not be using any other product on any football broadcast I am part of.” – Steve Koubridis, CFL Sound Engineer

We have worked hard at making the KLOVER MiK parabolic microphone a top-of-the-line option for anyone looking to capture clear and directional sound from a distance.
