Do you want to give life to the sound of your video recordings?
If so, then the Hi-Sound Compact is the solution for you: the first professional stereo parabolic microphone specifically designed to work with your camera.
Shotgun microphones are designed to be extremely directional in order to block out sound coming from the sides; however, they do not perform as well as parabolic microphones in terms of amplification and background noise. Each naturalist recorder carries their own recorder and a parabola in opposite hands. There will be too much equipment to carry while making a movie, and managing a big parabola is typically difficult.
The goal was to design something that would free up your hands so that you could concentrate and begin your film.
Hi-Sound Compact aims to record the inaudible sounds of animals in stunning quality and with little noise. Hi-Sound Compact comes from its big brother Hi-Sound DR and after years of studies, development and prototypes, it is now ready to be used.
Hi-Sound Compact can be used directly mounted on your camera. Furthermore, you can use it in standalone mode, connecting directly to a tripod mound. There are two high quality microphonic capsules, which come as a calibrated matched pair, with very low noise.
Conveniently, there’s no need for batteries, with the device running on plug in power, directly from the recorder. The incoming sound is concentrated to the center of each reflector, this way even weaker sound can also be easily captured by highly sensitive, low self-noise sensors. The stereophonic effect gives an immersive surround in every natural environment with each sound localised in its own spatial position.
- The shape and colour are designed so that the device is virtually invisible
- The reflectors are made of polycarbonate which gives the perfect combination of strength, flexibility, and transparency.
- All the components are lightweight with a total weight of only 300g.
- The windshield greatly reduces wind interferences in harsh environments.
