Typical Setup
The KLOVER MiK can be configured with virtually any electronics to create a set-up for your audio needs. The images below show standard configurations. A microphone must be installed in each KLOVER MiK; therefore, the first step in configuring your system is the selection of a microphone. Any omnidirectional lapel (lavaliere) microphone can be used.
There are two common connector types for microphones, XLR and TRS:
XLR (eXtra Low Resistance) microphones are nearly always used for broadcast applications. Professional cameras and recorders are likely to have larger XLR microphone ports. Most microphones with XLR connectors will require a voltage to be supplied to operate the internal components of the microphone. This is called “phantom power” and is usually in the 12 to 48 volts range. Please confirm if your microphone requires “phantom power” and if your camera/recorder provides it before selecting a microphone.
The other common type of microphone connector is Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS). This type of connector is used on consumer cameras and recorders. In most cases, the tip of the connector will be 3.5mm (1/8 inch) in diameter. This type of microphone often requires a small voltage to be supplied to operate the internal components of the microphone. This is called “plug-in power” and usually is in the range of 5 volts or less. Please confirm if your microphone requires “plug-in power” and if your camera/recorder provides it before selecting a microphone.
KLOVER MiK 09
The KLOVER MiK 09 can be configured with virtually any electronics to create a set-up for your audio needs. The images below show standard configurations. A microphone must be installed in each KLOVER MiK; therefore, the first step in configuring your system is the selection of a microphone. Any omnidirectional lapel (lavaliere) microphone can be used.
One device that allows an XLR microphone to be connected to a smart device and monitor audio with headphones is the iRig PRE from IK Multimedia. Other products are available.
Samples of XLR audio recorders include: Zoom H4, Tascam DR-40, Tascam 60D. Samples of 3.5mm audio recorders include: Zoom F1-LP, Zoom H1, and Tascam 05. Other products are available.
An example of a suitable pre-amp would be the Rolls MP13. Other products are available.
KLOVER MiK 16
The KLOVER MiK 16 can be configured with virtually any electronics to create a set-up for your audio needs. The images below show standard configurations.
A microphone must be installed in each KLOVER MiK; therefore, the first step in configuring your system is the selection of a microphone. Any lapel (lavaliere) or pencil microphone with either an omnidirectional or wide-cardioid pickup pattern can be used.
One device that allows an XLR microphone to be connected to a smart device, and also monitor audio with headphones, is the iRig PRE from IK Multimedia. Other products are available.
Samples of XLR audio recorders include: Zoom H4, Tascam DR-40, Tascam 60D. Samples of 3.5mm audio recorders include: Zoom F1-LP, Zoom H1, and Tascam 05. Other products are available.
Examples of pre-amp (headphone amps) include the Sound Devices MM-1 and Whirlwind MD-1. Other products are available.
An IFB receiver is often connected to the auxiliary input of the pre-amp. This allows the mixer to give direction to the parabolic operator. An example of the IFB receiver would be the Lectrosonics IFB R1B.
An example of a suitable pre-amp would be the Rolls MP13. Other products are available.
