HOLOPHONE® TO LAUNCH
H3-D MICROPHONE AT NAB 2006
New Surround Microphone Offers an Ideal Solution to
Emerging Markets
TORONTO,
ONTARIO, April 10, 2006 - Holophone®,
the leading manufacturer of surround microphones, will introduce
the H3-D Microphone at the NAB Convention,
April 24-27 (Booth #N3931). Based on the company's
successful and patented H2-PRO, Holophone's H3-D is
a portable and economical 5.1 multi-channel professional
surround sound microphone. An ideal solution for broadcast,
recording, and studio applications, the H3-D hits the sweet
spot in cost and performance for growing technology markets
such as project studios, education, and houses of worship.
"Our goal is to make surround sound capture and recording
accessible to new and emerging markets in places where it
has been traditionally too expensive or complicated,"
says Michael Godfrey, president and founder of Holophone.
"With the HDTV and 5.1 channel home theatre revolution,
broadcasters are faced with the challenges of providing
surround content to a growing number of viewers in many
diverse markets. Our products are designed to take cost
and complexity out of the equation and provide a sonic three-dimensional
feeling of being there."
Holophone's H3-D instantly eliminates the need for
difficult, expensive, and time consuming multiple-microphone
surround set-ups. Custom-designed to support 5.1 surround-sound
recording devices, the H3-D provides leading-edge 3-D surround
audio, while shattering the price to performance barrier
- the H3-D retails for $1,695.
Additionally, the H3-D provides an intelligent array of
features, such as a six-channel discrete microphone manufactured
to automatically deliver 5.1 channels with no external mixing
or signal manipulation needed. It 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.
