Why Choose Basketol's Godox IVM-S2?

At Basketol, we know that serious creators need professional audio that's portable and reliable. The IVM-S2 is engineered with a highly directional cardioid polar pattern that captures crisp, isolated vocals while minimizing ambient noise and reverb—perfect for indoor or outdoor recording sessions.

Three-stage adjustable gain control (-10dB, 0dB, +10dB) allows quick audio fine-tuning for any environment. Selectable 75Hz and 150Hz low-cut filter modes easily reduce background hums from air conditioning, traffic, or wind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How does 21-day battery life work?
A: The IVM-S2 is incredibly power-efficient, running on just one AA battery for up to 21 days of continuous usage. This means you can record for weeks without changing batteries—perfect for extended projects, travel, or situations where you can't easily access fresh batteries.

Q2: What is a cardioid polar pattern?
A: Cardioid (heart-shaped) is a highly directional pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This isolates the speaker's voice and minimizes ambient noise, reverb, and background chatter—essential for professional-sounding recordings.

Q3: What are the 3-stage gain controls for?
A: The three gain settings let you optimize audio levels for different environments: -10dB for loud environments (concerts, events), 0dB for natural, balanced sound (interviews, vlogs), or +10dB for enhanced clarity in quiet or low-volume situations (whispered dialogue, distant subjects).

Q4: What do the 75Hz and 150Hz low-cut filters do?
A: Low-cut filters remove unwanted low-frequency rumble and hum. 75Hz cuts out deep bass noise like traffic rumble or building vibrations. 150Hz removes higher bass frequencies like air conditioning hum or wind noise. This enhances vocal clarity without affecting voice quality.

Q5: How light is 67g really?
A: 67 grams (with bracket) is incredibly light—about the weight of a small smartphone or a deck of cards. At just 77.5mm long, it's compact enough for mobile shooting without adding bulk or weight to your camera rig.

Q6: What's the difference between TRS and TRRS cables?
A: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) is for cameras, camcorders, and audio recorders with standard 3.5mm inputs. TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) is for smartphones and devices with combo headphone/microphone jacks. Both cables are included, so you're covered for any device.

Q7: How does the shockmount work?
A: The durable shockmount bracket suspends the microphone using elastic bands, isolating it from mechanical vibrations and handling noise. This prevents bumps, camera movements, or tripod adjustments from being picked up in your audio—essential for clean, professional recordings.

Q8: What is the foam windscreen for?
A: The high-density foam windscreen reduces wind noise during outdoor recording. It breaks up air currents before they hit the microphone capsule, preventing the loud "whooshing" sounds that ruin outdoor audio. Essential for vlogs, interviews, or any outdoor filming.

Q9: What does independent power supply mean?
A: Unlike microphones that draw power from your camera or phone (which can introduce noise and drain device batteries), the IVM-S2 uses its own AA battery. This provides a stronger, cleaner signal with minimal interference and doesn't drain your recording device.

Q10: Does Basketol provide support?
A: Yes! Every Godox product purchased from Basketol comes with our quality guarantee and customer support. We can help with cable selection (TRS vs TRRS), gain settings, low-cut filter usage, and any questions about capturing studio-grade audio.
