Description
The Countryman ISOMAX 2 is a tiny condenser capsule with an outsized job: staying true to its hypercardioid pattern across the entire frequency range. Many small mics drift toward omnidirectional pickup as frequencies drop, which invites feedback and bleed. The ISOMAX 2 resists that drift, so its rejection off-axis stays consistent whether you’re chasing low-end rumble or high-frequency detail.
That consistency pays off in two ways: a full, open frequency response with very low distortion even under extreme sound pressure, and dependable gain before feedback in loud stage settings. Because it’s small enough to tuck inside or around instruments, hang above a stage, or hide within a set, it’s a go-to choice for live sound, theater, film, and TV work where the mic itself needs to disappear while the sound stays natural.
This configuration ships with a 10-foot hardwired cable terminating in a male XLR3 connector, making it a straightforward wired setup rather than a wireless-body-pack configuration.
- Hypercardioid polar pattern with frequency-independent directionality
- Frequency response: 50 Hz–20 kHz (directional)
- Sensitivity: -57 dB re 1V/Pa (1.4 mV/Pascal)
- Equivalent acoustic noise: 29 dBA (directional)
- Overload sound level: 150 dB SPL at 1% THD
- Phantom power: 6V–50V at 4mA (below 24V reduces max SPL)
- Output impedance: 600 Ohms ±2%, balanced, transformerless
- Dimensions: 5/16″ x 5/8″ x 5/32″ (8 x 16 x 4mm), excluding cable strain relief
- 10-foot cable with male XLR3 connector
- Includes basic clip, windscreen, and carrying case
A dependable pick when you need an unobtrusive mic that won’t compromise on directional control or headroom.
