HHB Flash Mic DRM85 omni directional recording microphone £619.99
Description
The HHB FlashMic is the world’s first professional digital recording microphone. It combines a high-quality, Sennheiser omnidirectional (DRM85) or cardioid (DRM85-C) condenser capsule with an inbuilt, 1GB broadcast-quality Flash recorder to deliver a maximum recording time of over 18 hours.
Just one button press is all it takes to start recording in either linear or MPEG 2 formats. Simple ‘drag and drop’ file transfer at up to 70x real time to a Mac or PC for editing or onward transmission is enabled by a ‘plug and play’ USB connection.
Two AA batteries provide more than 8 hours continuous power and the included FlashMic Manager Mac/PC software provides powerful tools for naming and organising recordings, and configuring the FlashMic for various applications.
