In response to user feedback, Holophone, the leading manufacturer of surround microphones, introduced the latest version of its popular H4 SuperMINI camera-mountable mic at NAB 2008. This upgrade adds the balanced output capability to the mic‘s encoder.
In addition to its current 3.5mm stereo outputs, the H4 SuperMINI‘s encoder will now feature one 6-pin mini XLR output which contains both LT and RT balanced information. This helps to make the mic‘s recordings more compatible with professional level AV equipment. It also allows the encoder to be connected to a camera or recording device with a longer run of cable without affecting the quality of the audio signal. more
Users of Holophone®‘s H4 SuperMINI, the world‘s first camera mountable surround microphone, will now have additional connection options with the company‘s new H4 Multi-Cable, which made its debut at NAB 2008.
The H4 Multi-Cable helps to reduce the height of the H4 SuperMINI microphone, dropping it a full 6 inches for a lower on-camera profile. It also allows the H4 SuperMINI‘s encoder, preamp and monitor module to be mounted in a variety of locations. With the H4 Multi-Cable, the H4 SuperMINI‘s microphone head connects directly to the camera through a cold shoe connector and the microphone‘s encoder is attached to the side of the camera or worn as a belt pack. The H4 Multi-Cable is available with a three-foot (90cm) or five-foot (1.5m) cable which connects the multi-channel microphone head to the encoder, maintaining the user‘s mobility. more
