This FlashMic can record top quality audio at the click of the button and be transferred immediately to edit or upload. One of the most innovative and convenient pieces of audio equipment around
The FlashMic is the 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 Mac/PC software provides powerful tools for naming and organising recordings, and configuring the FlashMic for various applications.
