HHB DRM85 DetailsThe 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, broadcast-quality Flash recorder. FlashMic is a convenient, easy to operate and durable recorder that’s perfect for use in all voice recording applications, including press and broadcast journalism, radio interviewing, podcasting, meetings, etc With no messy cables, 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, with a 0 - 10 seconds prerecord buffer and 1GB of flash memory, you can be sure that you’ll never miss a word of that important interview with a FlashMic. With a total capacity of 999 tracks and more than 18 hours recording to 1GB of internal Flash memory, FlashMic entirely eliminates the worry of running out of tape or disc space. Holding the record button down for more than 2 seconds locks the FlashMic in record mode for complete security during, for instance, podium recordings, and visible warnings of low battery life and low recording memory add further peace of mind. Pressing the record button briefly during a recording inserts a location marker which can be read by popular editing applications. FLASHMIC MANAGER SOFTWARE FOR STREAMLINED WORKFLOW With AA batteries included as standard, the FlashMic operates ‘straight out of the box’. However journalists and news organisations will welcome the included FlashMic Manager PC/Macintosh software to configure the FlashMic for specific applications and streamlined workflow. In an organisation with multiple users, every FlashMic can be given its own name which appears in every track name recorded by that microphone. Alongside the major recorder functions (see panel right), the 9 user presets can be used to store a session name which also appears in the track names. So, when FlashMic JOHN is interviewing Oasis in the morning and the ENO in the afternoon, track file names can be preconfigured as JOHN_OASIS_TRK001, etc., and JOHN_ENO_TRK020, etc. A Company Name, Reporter Name and Reporter’s Notes can be stored with each preset, which is embedded in every file along with the Date and Time stamp, providing users with an unrivalled range of facilities for the naming and organisation of files. DRAG AND DROP FILE TRANSFER Downloading recordings to Macintosh or PC computers is extremely straightforward. Connecting via USB with the cable supplied, files are transferred from the FlashMic using Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder. The FlashMic mounts as a USB mass storage device, and the audio files appear in a folder in the root directory. ALL THE PRESENCE OF A SERIOUS BROADCAST MICROPHONE Alongside the obvious advantages of pristine sound quality, ease-of-use, dependability and enhanced workflow, FlashMic also brings the additional benefit of an imposing physical presence – which, as experienced journalists know, can be invaluable in a ‘media scrum’! EY FEATURES * Convenient, portable and extremely easy to use FLASHMIC MANAGER SOFTWARE FlashMic Manager PC/Mac software (supplied) allows FlashMic functions to be configured and stored in 9 user presets. Presets can be setup and then downloaded to non-volatile memory in the FlashMic via its USB port. Function 1 Select record mode. Function 2 Pre record buffer adjustable from 0 – 10 seconds in 2 second steps. Function 3 Record volume, set to either AGC (Automatic Gain Control). Function 4 High pass filter (12dB / Octave @ 100Hz) on or off. Function 5 LCD backlight – on, off or powersave. Function 6 Enable configuration in DRM85. When set to ‘Yes’, EXPERT mode is engaged and many functions may be configured from the mic itself. If this parameter is set to NO, then users can only access the preset, and not the manual settings. BWF/MPEG file information can be entered in the fields on the right hand side of the FlashMic Manager window. This will then be written into the extensions in the audio file to enable easy identification of recordings. For convenience of use, the headphone level is set at a default value, and is not set as part of the FlashMic Manager software. It can be manually adjusted from the mic via a rotary control. RECORDING TIMES CAPSULE The high-quality Sennheiser omnidirectional (DRM85) or cardioid (DRM85-C) microphone capsule is specially shockmounted to minimise the transference of mechanical and handling noise through the microphone body. CONNECTIVITY FlashMic has a built in USB port for fast transfer of recorded data to a computer. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 protocols are supported. The headphone socket accepts a standard 3.5mm jack. The mono signal from the A/D converter is buffered and sent to both channels of the headphone jack. The output from the headphone socket can also be connected to the analogue line-in on any soundcard, should external recording be required. Don't miss our |
