Holophone are proud to announce the release of Portamic Pro and Portamic 5.1

Portamic 5.1

The PortaMic 5.1 offers professional-grade discrete 5.1 audio quality at a price that fits into any production budget – the mic retails for £595. It features a 2.5 inch (6cm) x 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mic head with six separate mic elements arranged to correspond with the typical 5.1 speaker setup in a studio or home theater, providing users with the means to easily capture, from a single point source, a discrete surround recording. The PortaMic's encoder is equipped with Dolby Laboratories' Dolby® Pro Logic II® encoding technology, which allows the mic's six audio channels to be encoded down to two channels, so it can be recorded to any broadcast camera or stereo recording device. The surround encoded audio is output to both a stereo mini plug and six-pin balanced mini XLR. Measuring only 1 inch high, the mic's encoder also presents a low profile when connected to the camera.

Portamic Pro

Portamic Pro has a balanced 6 pin mini XLR output as well as a zoom feature for forward bias. This is primarily where the difference lies between Portamic 5.1 and the Portamic Pro. The PortaMic 5.1 does not include these features. Shipping in March…Pre-order now!
