Ease-of-Use at a Competitive
Price Point
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, OCTOBER 6, 2006
— 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.
