Kramer’s versatile Omnivore KM-2B provides a single mic solution for corporate applications

Omnivore KM 2B renderJerusalem, Israel, February 26, 2020 – Seen at ISE2020 for the first time, Kramer’s Omnivore KM-2B is a revolutionary microphone, designed to be the go-to microphone for meeting and conferencing spaces.

The patent pending Omnivore KM-2B is a multi-purpose dual boundary microphone that eliminates comb filtering and maximizes acoustic energy, providing unmatched clarity and flexibility. Omnivore KM-2B has three selectable polar patterns, allowing versatility for any type of installation:

  • Omnidirectional – For use in small/medium meeting spaces
  • Sub-cardioid – Under the display in a huddle space
  • Cardioid – On the podium for the lecturer

Omnivore KM-2B is the brainchild of Yuval Kramer, Director of Audio at Kramer, who wanted the ultimate, flexible corporate microphone which is simple to master. “KM-2B can be installed and configured by an individual with minimal audio expertise,” he says. “The switchable pickup polar patterns will help the user get excellent results in minimum time, allowing simple trial and error and providing a totally flexible installation.”

In addition to this flexibility, sound quality is paramount. A selectable high-pass filter (HPF) at 120Hz helps to avoid any ‘boominess’ and table noises. The two microphones in the KM-2B can be summed into a single channel or output two separate signals for redundancy in critical installations or recordings of a conversation between two people, each with his microphone. Furthermore, a boost mode of an extra 12dB of microphone sensitivity allows an important gain stage – if the microphone is far from the speaker, or in case the volume is too high, boost can be cancelled to avoid clipping at the microphone.
