FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HOLOPHONE® H2-5.1 SURROUND MICROPHONE NOW SHIPPING Affordable 5.1 Version of the H2-PRO Now Available
NEW YORK, NY, OCTOBER 7, 2009 - Holophone®, the leading manufacturer of surround microphones, is now shipping its H2-5.1 surround microphone,
exclusively equipped with Sennheiser’s MKE series microphone capsules.
The H2-5.1 offers users the same power and audio quality of the H2-PRO
in an affordable 5.1 package. Ideal for productions solely requiring a
superior discrete 5.1 surround recording, Holophone’s H2-5.1 will be
available immediately. Based on the company’s flagship model,
the H2-PRO, the H2-5.1 features six Sennheiser microphone capsules
arranged to correspond with the typical 5.1 speaker setup found in a
studio or home theater. This configuration allows the H2-5.1 to easily
and effortlessly capture, from a single point, an extremely accurate 5.1
surround recording with no signal manipulation required. The mic’s six
channels of audio are output to six separate XLR connectors. With the
H2-5.1 retailing for $5,495 (over $500 less than the H2-PRO) it is an
affordable way to add a first-class 5.1 surround recording to a variety
of audio applications including broadcast projects, music recording,
live recording and film.

“We are proud to announce that our H2-5.1 is now
shipping and will have the added feature of being equipped with
Sennheiser’s MKE series mics,” says Michael Godfrey, president and
founder of Holophone. “We are continually looking at ways to upgrade our
existing products. As the vast majority of work being done in surround
today is in the 5.1 format, we thought it would make sense to have a 5.1
channel version of our flagship H2-PRO. Our customers asked... and we
listened.” For productions that require more detailed 7.1 or
6.1 formats, Holophone will continue to offer the ever popular H2-PRO,
which is entirely compatible with all multi-channel I/O devices.
Holophone microphone products are compatible with all surround-sound
encoding/playback formats (Dolby, DTS, Neural Audio, Circle Surround,
IMAX, etc.).
