Holophone Launches New H2-PRO Surround Sound Microphone
Holophone, a division of Rising Sun Productions, Ltd, has formally announced the introduction of the Holophone H2-PRO Surround Microphone. This revolutionary and patented new microphone is capable of recording up to 7.1 channels of discrete surround sound for all professional audio applications (standard television, DTV, HDTV, radio, music, project studios/engineers, and film location recording).
“We are thrilled to be launching our new Holophone H2-PRO,” stated Jonathan Godfrey, CEO of Holophone. “The H2-PRO is a very cool surround sound audio capture device, and it is the culmination of years of development and an intense beta testing period with leading broadcasters and audio professionals around the world.” Mr. Godfrey further commented, “We’ve worked hard to introduce a product that meets the growing needs of all markets to record and distribute high-quality Surround Sound. It appears that the time is right for the H2-PRO.”
The H2-PRO Surround Sound Microphone improves upon Holophone’s beta system with a sleek new design that maintains the patented “head” shape, adds eight channel recording capability (5.1-channels plus a top channel and a center-rear channel), and has an improved connector and handle. The easy to use Holophone H2-PRO is a stand-alone Surround Sound microphone designed specifically for audio professionals to capture up to eight channels of discrete Surround Sound. It features eight XLR microphone connectors, which are entirely compatible with all multichannel I/O devices such as hard disc recorders, preamplifiers, and mixing boards that supply phantom power. Users can plug the Holophone H2-PRO directly into their own equipment and be recording quickly, easily and with superior results. Priced at $6000.00 US MSRP, the Holophone H2-PRO will begin shipping by July of this year.
The prototype H-1 Holophone Surround Sound recording system (with only 6.1 channel recording capability) was aggressively beta tested around the world during the past two years on a variety of projects ranging from live television and radio broadcasts to live music recording for HDTV broadcast and DVD. It received positive feedback for its performance, high quality recordings, and ease of use.
