HOLOPHONE® RELEASES
ENHANCED H2-PRO MICROPHONE
Portion of Proceeds Donated to Charity to Fight World
Hunger
TORONTO, ONTARIO, MARCH 27, 2006-Holophone®,
the leading manufacturer of surround microphones, has unveiled
a new version of the popular H2-PRO Microphone.
The ground-breaking H2-PRO, capable of recording up to 7.1
channels of discrete surround sound, is now offered with
enhanced low frequency effects (LFE). With the enhanced
LFE, the H2-PRO effectively permits a higher output level
of deep bass information without imposing on the performance
or levels of the rest of the system.
Ideal for instant capture of live surround sound for all
professional audio applications, the H2-PRO is available
at a special price of $5499 through May 15, and will be
on display at the NAB Convention in Las Vegas, April 24-27
(Booth #3931). Holophone will also donate $500 from each
unit sold to ONE, the world's leading organization
in the fight against world poverty.
"We are thrilled to be launching our enhanced microphone,"
says Jonathan Godfrey, CEO of Holophone. "One unit
is usually all that is required to capture the ambience
of any event or venue and deliver that ‘being there'
experience to the viewer. More importantly, we get to help
a great cause. The fight against world hunger is crucial
and we are happy to be on the front line."
As a single point-source, the H2-PRO utilizes the theories
of head related transfer function (HRTF) to capture 7.1
channels of discrete surround-sound audio in a single, cost-effective
unit. The enhanced H2-PRO features eight XLR microphone
connectors, which are entirely compatible with all multichannel
I/O devices. It is also compatible with all surround-sound
encoding/playback formats (Dolby, DTS, Circle Surround,
IMAX, etc.). An upgrade program is available for current
H2-PRO owners.
ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans to
fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty.
The ONE Campaign is engaging Americans through a diverse
coalition of faith-based and anti-poverty organizers to
show the steps people can take, ONE by ONE, to fight global
AIDS and poverty. The ONE campaign is supported by the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation with participants including
Bono of U2, George Clooney, and Tom Hanks. For more information,
