Holophone Surround Mics H4 SuperMINI
5.1 Surround Sound Microphone, Camera Mountable

H4 SuperMINI

The breakthrough Holophone H4 SuperMINI Surround Sound microphone system delivers expansive 5.1 channel audio field capture in a super compact package, mountable on any professional quality video camera.

The system offers an integrated multi-channel pre-amplifier, virtual surround headphone monitor and matrix surround encoder allowing truly professional results for six-channel processing of live audio from the concert hall and sports stadium to fast-paced ENG applications. The H4 is ideally suited for all live event television broadcasters, live music producers and engineers and film and video location crews who are interested in real-time surround audio for delivery to an ever increasing Home Theater audience. The microphone has six independent microphone elements that are output through either a matrix surround encoded stereo analog output or six line-level analog outputs (L, R, C, LFE, LS, RS) available through three stereo mini-plug jacks. The SuperMINI has additional capabilities that include an input for an external, center-channel placed shotgun or lavalier microphone to enhance sonic opportunity options and features a zoom button that increases the forward bias of the pick-up pattern. It also includes Virtual Surround Monitoring on headphones for real-time on-camera 3-D audio monitoring of the surround field.

The Holophone H4 SuperMINI Surround Sound microphone system finally puts the power of high-quality surround sound production into the hands of the videographer on any level. The H4 SuperMINI is precisely the right tool at the right time for any video, film or broadcast production.
