HHB Flash Mic DRM85LI omni directional recording mic with line input £782.00
Description
The HHB FlashMic is the world’s first professional digital recording microphone. Combining a high-quality, Sennheiser omni-directional condenser capsule with an inbuilt, broadcast-quality Flash recorder, FlashMic is a convenient, easy to operate and durable recorder that’s perfect for press and broadcast journalism, or any other voice recording application. In addition, the DRM85LI features a line input for recording the news feeds often provided at press conferences.
With no cables necessary and batteries supplied, just one button press is all it takes to start recording straight out of the box, in either linear or MPEG 2 formats. Simple ‘drag and drop’ file transfer at up to 90x real time to a Mac or PC for editing (in supplied software) or onward transmission is enabled by a ‘plug and play’ USB connection. Two AA batteries provide more than 8 hours continuous power, a 0-10 seconds pre-record buffer expects the unexpected and 1GB of flash memory provides 999 tracks and over 18 hours recording time.
