Holophone Highlights H3-D Microphone

To meet what it describes as increased demand from stations looking to broadcast HD Radio and HDTV in digital surround, Holophone has developed the H3-D Surround Microphone.

Holophone’s H3-D is a portable 5.1 multi-channel surround sound microphone manufactured to deliver surround with no external mixing or signal manipulation. The company says the product is good for use in project studios, education and houses of worship.

“Connect the H3-D to your mixing board and you’re ready to capture in 5.1 surround,” states Michael Godfrey, president and founder of Holophone.

The H3-D has a multi-directional pickup pattern with 20 Hz – 20 kHz response on five perimeter channels and a discrete LFE microphone located inside. The microphone is phantom-powered with an LED indicator.

Attached to the H3-D is a 15-foot Monster cable that terminates in a half-dozen six-pin Neutrik XLR connectors.

Remember that before June of 1989 "AM" had a top end of 15kHz. The FCC ruled out the 15kHz top end in favor of the new 10kHz top end. Do you ever hear how bad Hybrid Digital "AM" stations sound when the CE thinks that he can put audio flat to 15kHz into it? I hate the ragged sound of a too low bit rate audio stream with a too high sample rate. I would not have a problem, technically, with running pure digital on medium wave. I hate IBDAC because it wipes out two adjacent channels and makes the analog sound like a cheap cassette tape without noise reduction.
