Features And Functions

Digital Recording

Sony’s High-Performance Microphones have been designed for digital recording — maintaining the same wide frequency range characteristics, dynamic range and unmatched sound quality provided by your digital recording equipment.

Boundary Effect

A Flat Microphone for a better pick-up recording of the speaker. The Flat Microphone, featuring the “Boundary Effect System” is twice as sensitive as a normal microphone with frequency levels of 2KHz–5KHz. It records the speaker’s voice from every direction clearly, with the least possible noise.

in meetings

• Plug-in power from recording device with plug-in power function

• 1m OFC Litz cord with gold-plated plug for minimal transmission loss

• Coil cord which does not tangle easily even when being carried

Mid/Side Stereo Microphone

Sounds are recorded from the front, as well as from the left and right sides. The frontal sounds are being picked up by the Mid Microphone Capsule, and the side sounds by the Side Microphone Capsules. Hence, with just one microphone, panoramic stereo recording can be achieved by combining all the sound information from both Microphone Capsules.

Uni-Directional Position To Capture the Right Mood

This position captures the atmosphere of the scene by accurately mixing the sounds of the main object with those of its surroundings. Suitable for a variety of situations, including background-oriented or mood- capturing scenes, as well as filming of moving objects.
