HHB DRM85 FlashMic

Portable Recorders

DRM85 Details

The HHB FlashMic is the world’s first professional digital recording microphone. It combines a high-quality, Sennheiser omnidirectional condenser capsule with an inbuilt, broadcast-quality Flash recorder.FlashMic is a convenient, easy to operate and durable recorder that’s perfect for use in all voice recording applications, including press and broadcast journalism, radio interviewing, podcasting, meetings, etc.

With no messy cables, just one button press is all it takes to start recording in either linear or MPEG 2 formats. Simple ‘drag and drop’ file transfer at up to 70x real time to a Mac or PC for editing or onward transmission is enabled by a ‘plug and play’ USB connection. Two AA batteries provide more than 8 hours continuous power and, with a 0 - 10 seconds prerecord buffer and 1GB of flash memory, you can be sure that you’ll never miss a word of that important interview with a FlashMic.

Overview

With a total capacity of 999 tracks and more than 18 hours recording to 1GB of internal Flash memory, FlashMic entirely eliminates the worry of running out of tape or disc space. Holding the record button down for more than 2 seconds locks the FlashMic in record mode for complete security during, for instance, podium recordings, and visible warnings of low battery life and low recording memory add further peace of mind. Pressing the record button briefly during a recording inserts a location marker which can be read by popular editing applications.

With AA batteries included as standard, the FlashMic operates ‘straight out of the box’. In an organisation with multiple users, every FlashMic can be given its own name which appears in every track name recorded by that microphone. Alongside the major recorder functions (see panel right), the 9 user presets can be used to store a session name which also appears in the track names. A Company Name, Reporter Name and Reporter’s Notes can be stored with each preset, which is embedded in every file along with the Date and Time stamp, providing users with an unrivalled range of facilities for the naming and organisation of files. Downloading recordings to Macintosh or PC computers is extremely straightforward. Connecting via USB with the cable supplied, files are transferred from the FlashMic using Windows Explorer or the Macintosh Finder.
