PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier/Instrument Microphone

This miniature condenser microphone achieves full-sounding pickup and is known for outstanding consistency and dependable performance. Supplied with both a clothing clip and guitar mount, it provides natural and articulate vocal reproduction when used as a clip-on lavalier and excels in pickup of acoustic guitar. The PRO 70 is designed to make music and speech clearly and comfortably audible, yet never draw attention to itself or its operation. The microphone is equipped with a low-frequency roll-off switch that allows for reduced pickup of room noise. The versatile PRO 70 may be powered by either battery or phantom power. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source.

I've purchase 3 for my company and based on my experience with the mics I purchased 8 for the school I teach film at. Great tool for interviews and some on the go quick voice overs. I recommend the Pro 70 to anyone.

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. None of our lavilier microphones are wired for use with an iPad. You would have to use an adapter cable. An internet search of iPad external microphone adapter cable should turn up some options.

Can I use this with a unimount?

I've used a pro 70 as a fiddle mic for a number of years. If I want to mount on a different instrument, can I use the pro 70 with an Audio Technica Unimount Microphone Instrument Mount?

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. It is a bit smaller than the microphones that are specified for this mount, but it should still hold it ok.
