Holophone Highlights The H3-D Microphone At AES 2006
By Guest |
Surround sound is emerging as the industry standard for HDTV, HD radio and other audio applications and Holophone®'s H3-D Surround Microphone is looking to bring the technology into markets where it was previously too complicated or expensive. Holophone will feature the H3-D at the AES Convention, October 6-8 (Booth #1602).
Utilizing the same technology as the company's successful and patented H2-PRO, Holophone's H3-D is a portable 5.1 multi-channel surround sound microphone that is manufactured to automatically deliver 5.1 channels with no external mixing or signal manipulation required. An excellent choice for professional applications, the H3-D's aggressive price point and ease-of-use makes it ideal for growing technology markets such as project studios, education, and houses of worship.
"With the demand for surround recordings continuously increasing, industry newcomers and veterans are looking for a technology that provides superior sound reproduction that is easy to use," says Michael Godfrey, president and founder of Holophone. "The H3-D is a great way to be introduced to recording in surround sound in that with minimal monitoring and set-up time you can capture a recording that provides listeners with the feeling of really being there."
Custom-designed to support 5.1 surround-sound recording devices, the H3-D provides leading-edge surround audio, while shattering the price to performance barrier — the H3-D retails for $1,695. The H3-D has a multi-directional pickup pattern with 20Hz-20KHz frequency response on five perimeter channels and a discrete LFE microphone located inside. The microphone is phantom powered with an LED indicator. Attached to the H3-D is a 15 ft. (5m) Monster® cable that terminates in a 6-pin Neutrik® XLR connector. A Windscreen and Pistol Grip are optional accessories.
